We were in a complete bubble the last couple of years. If you didn't work before the bubble, your perception of reality is entirely skewed. The mania was due to two things - tech companies outperforming everything else on the SP500 and easy credit for start ups. The response was over-hiring, a huge number of bootcamp grads, and everyone who could pivoting to an IT degree. Worries about the economy (record debt, etc) are just the icing on top of the tech over-saturation cake. Other, way overstated bubble is "AI destroying jobs". It's not reality, but the perception is there.

In short, it probably won't recover to bubble territory in the next 20 simply due to the huge supply of devs. On the other hand, the field does require some education, some IQ threshold, some persistence, etc, so there will be ok-paying jobs for a while. But again, if you started working circa 2021-2023, you will need to adjust your expectations.

From the perspective of a hiring manager at a mid-size company, I'm not at all surprised. I'm having a tough time getting backfills approved when we have voluntary departures, all my opens were cut, and the goal is "do way more with way less".

HR has already frozen salaries - no increases for existing employees, and they're already starting to cut salaries for newly posted positions.

When you do get a position posted you get a ton of applicants: one of my managers hired for a senior SWE and had to filter through over 700 resumes. And you can't meaningfully filter that, at best you take a sample and pick from there, so plenty of good candidates are going to end up on the wrong end of a "select all, delete". This also lets HR be way more aggressive, so offers before that were a negotiation have turned into "take it or leave it" up front.

I mean, it kinda makes sense... ZIRP is over, free money is gone. And plenty of companies are going to be like mine and servicing debt payments from growth and acquisitions with an interest rate that has tripled over time.

The real sentiment right now is "batten down the hatches".
> In the end, all costs are borne by the customer because there's really no other source of revenue.

This would be considerably more relevant if the price paid was related to the costs in any meaningful way. 50+ years of economic study demonstrates rather conclusively that it is not.
Removing significant percentages of the Moon's mass is a whole different ballgame from climate change on Earth, where even now people will debate if it'sreally anthropogenic.

There would be an immediately noticeable harm with the genuine ability to make Earth entirely uninhabitable, and unlike with climate change, where the mechanisms at work aren't directly relatable, with an orbit change, the mechanisms are pretty relatable to everyone, in the form of seasons and their total disruption.

As such, I don't think the typical ideas of people ignoring the problem in favor of keeping the money flowing apply, as those are all cases where the harm is some unclear time in the future involving the suffering of people who are not the decision makers.

I also think there's an aspect of societal propaganda breaking down in the face of the internet. "Duty" is a clearly artificial term, people are only bound to it so far as they believe in it. Society has gotten less good at convincing people to believe they have a duty.

We also have a lot of infighting between political and cultural factions that ruins the sense of shared obligation underpinning duty. It's hard to feel a duty to someone Fox News or Reddit has been telling you to hate your whole life.

The OP observation is that memory formation includes damaging DNA and repairing it , either as a side effect or as a mechanisms of memory formation, but it's unclear which.

Generalized autoimmune disorders probably wouldn't increase memory formation as a mechanism -- that effect would be "memorizing" "white noise", not a specific meaningful memory (neuron path).

But perhaps high IQ individuals, associated with hyperactivity/high metabolism of some kind, have more/faster neuronal activity, cause more of this DNA damage then the average person experiences, to the point where it has detrimental inflammatory effects?

Even within the US and maybe western Europe (though that works better from the east coast). If you want to live in San Francisco (or Aspen), good for you. But there's very little reason for me to pay you a premium to do so if I'm a remote company. (There's some. I might not be able to hire people in California otherwise. But my observation is that's actually the unstated process at a lot of companies these days.)
I can run a certain 120b on my M3 max with 128GB memory. However I found that while it “fits” Q5 was extremely slow. The story was different with Q4 though which ran just fine around ~3.5-4 t/s.

Now this model is ~134B right? It could be bog slow but on the other hand its a MoE so there might be a chance it could have satisfactory results.
Terrence talked a lot about everything as code, and DNA being that code, or part of that code anyway. He's talked about it a lot in different ways, so I'm not sure what talk OP is specifically referring to. He gave a couple of talks that are related to I Ching, it might be in detail in one of those.

>> it would be quite logical for evolution to use neuronal DNA for weight storage.

To pass that down you'd have to replicate the connectivity of the network for the weights to be relevant right?

Related: The article doesn't say which DNA areas are broken and repaired. Nor does it say if they are modified. It seems like encoding weights in DNA would make them more robust but harder to change. If so, there should be a particular region where this is happening. Maybe there's a mapping between certain DNA areas and each synapse. That'd be really interesting.
It's unlikely to be permanent, it's just a cycle. The economy seems fine right now, but leading indicators (e.g. yield curve) suggest a recession is inbound. So everyone is playing it conservative. We'll get past the recession and things will pick back up again like they always do.
Show HN: I made Django package to override and customize the default Group model
Django Custom Group Model is a package that allows you to replace the default Django Group model with a custom one with full compatibility with the Django permissions framework.

Here are some reasons why you may want to use this package:

- Add more fields to the Django Group model

- Override existing Django Group model fields

- Rename the Group model to something else

- When starting a project, setting a custom Group model will allow you to customize it in the future when the need arises.

I thought that Putin was bluffing, based on the low number of the soldiers around the borders alone. 200 000 simply aren't enough to take a country the size of Ukraine. During the wars of the 20th century, the Ukrainian theatre was regularly contested by millions of soldiers at the same time, and basic control of population still requires about 1 soldier to approx. 30 civilians or so, even if the only resistance is guerilla-like. It is much worse with the regular army fighting back.

As we saw, 200 000 definitely weren't enough to take Ukraine, but possibly Putin believed that the country was going to collapse immediately instead of fighting back.

I'm not sure what you mean by this; obviously the "history" of the book is known and not being suppressed.

This does not mean that history is being destroyed! Anyone is still welcome to learn anything they want about these historical figures & events.

I have a theory that a lot of the jobs listed are to prove you tried to find qualified candidates before you hire a developer's friend.

My take is that for one reason or another (and I wouldn't count premeditated evil genius as high on the list of reasons), the FAANG and adjacent companies have been hiring the developer equivalent of people to dig holes and fill them up for a few years now. Think about it - does Google really need teams of developers with something on the order of half a million in total compensation each in order to develop some new product that they're going to cancel in a year or two?

Essentially, you've got an oligarch class in the US/World with more money than they know what to do with and it gets put to weird uses. Tech/VC seem to be the sexiest use of that money and so it gets directed in that direction and comes out everywhere. ZIRP exacerbates it. And it seems the end of ZIRP and other effects finally pop the bubble. What really sucks is when your family's healthcare is dependent on your employer playing the above game.
Yeah, I think Nvidia drives around half as much of TSMC's revenue as Apple does...for now.

With iPhone demand decreasing as the purchase cycle elongates (Vision Pro still low volume) and AI demand surges, it'll be interesting to see how much this gap closes. Other Nvidia competitors will certainly emerge over time, which also incentivizes Nvidia to take up as much quota as they can.

ST-DOS is a DOS implementation, but it is not meant to be a clone of MS-DOS. It is mostly syscall-compatible with MS-DOS, but the driver API and many other things are completely different. After all the definition of DOS is just "disk operating system".

All real mode programs that are compiled with Watcom C/C++ should work. The most recent versions of Watcom's protected mode runtime don't currently work, because they use some undocumented MS-DOS syscalls that are not implemented in ST-DOS. I intend to create a compatibility TSR that will solve most issues with those MS-DOS programs.

People are definitely dying and that includes civilians, but facts matter and a lot of these numbers are simply made up by Hamas. Here's some analysis that demonstrates that it's extremely unlikely Hamas's Gaza Health Ministry numbers are based in reality: https://www.tabletmag.com/sections/news/articles/how-gaza-he...

Stuff like almost perfectly linear growth of deaths over days and so on, take a look at the article.

This is also Hamas who claims that every person killed was a civilian. Try to find "number of Hamas combatants killed" in the Gaza Health Ministry numbers, they don't even count this. Isn't that a bit weird? Israel will tell you how many people killed were armed soldiers and how many were civilians, as most places will do.

I don't know why people believe the numbers coming from Hamas. I wish there were a more reliable source in the area, but believing Hamas because you have no other numbers to go on is plain stupid.
insert meme *Don't give me hope*

In an idealist world, you're the perfect employer and I should be your employee. I want to believe that these employers exist but my conventional wisdom says, they are just textbook version, real world is different.

A little bit about me: In my 12 yoe (still at same place with steady growth), worked 6 years for one team, built a framework. one SE was dumping his new projects and moving to fresh ones while I get to maintain them, soon moved to different team. I stayed, maintained, stabilized, scaled, tuned, left only after then to different team (actually I'm the only one) to work on a new product. Again same situation, many have joined and left, few after 1 year and none of them contributed anything significant to the product. None of them cared about the product or the company, just optimizing for their career and pay. But then what's the passion in it if you don't care about what you've built and make it better.

I'm now pivoting to new team (don't know yet) planning to build something again from scratch. I'm optimizing for my passion, but some where deep inside I'm worried about my future prospects because of long haul.

> How independent are you if you're paycheck to paycheck?

This is a useless measure of independence in the context of this discussion since it applies to men and women. When discussing differences in genders, obviously we are discussing one gender being able to achieve more financial independence than the other due to laws/customs/discrimination.

> You can simply ask whether women really are financially independent today: You have student debt, mortgage costs, credit cards etc on one hand and the necessity of keeping that job once you're "independent" of your family and significant other on the other hand.

Student debt is optional and highly variable, mortgage is irrelevant in this discussion since it applies to men and women, credit cards are also highly variable, and the job thing was also irrelevant as pointed out above.

Also, note that 99% of women (and men) in 99% of the world for 99% of history have never had or been in families with enough wealth such that they did not have to work. They simply worked for their own family, with no explicit pay, and hoped they would get a sufficient spot at the decision making table.

But all of that is irrelevant anyway. The question is does my daughter have the same opportunities available to her as my son? Or would she have to hope for having nice in laws while my son could aim for the stars and secure a high paying job?
I think you're exaggerating here. HN doesn't have a universal opinion about anything. Sure, there are people who have the attitude you describe (although it's rare that a single person has all of those stances), but there are also people who don't. HN commenters overall have pretty diverse opinions about those things, and for each one of them you can find commenters who are of the opposite opinion.

I think claims like this have the potential to bring out a great deal of research into the public sphere about the effects of social media, but looking at the law firm acting on behalf of the plaintiff, I see it's a personal injury law firm with ~20 lawyers (https://neinstein.com/about), and they have taken on the assignment on a contingency basis. Sadly, I doubt they will have the resources to go up against the major tech companies for long...... but, assuming they have not taken the assignment on as a PR stunt, I am rooting for them.
I hear you, and that's quite informative, and I agree with your suggestion that there are likely workaround(s) that meet the letter of the law at a much lower cost than killing production prematurely.

But it doesn't answer my question: why is Porsche getting dunked on to the apparent exclusion of everyone else? They don't do any of this stuff themselves, and haven't for a very long time. They share control units, gateways, and peripherals with multiple manufacturers. Yet nobody else in the EU seems to be catching all this grief.

I don't really care, because my Macan and Boxster are 4 and 11 years old respectively and aren't going anywhere. They no longer make anything I want at a price within my toy budget. But there just seems to be an element of unfairness here that doesn't make sense, and I'm curious to hear the real story.

I think such things have existed, but Nix deployment tools being relatively small projects with small teams or solo devs, a more common approach is to piggyback off of other IaC tools provisioning cloud infrastructure, e.g. by templating Terraform in Nix¹.

From a Nix user's perspective, this leaves a lot to be desired, because tools like Terraform are much less reliable than Nix tools that target local machines, and their management of, say, a VPC, is much less comprehensive than NixOS' management of an individual operating system. And they're slow as hell. But for the most part these issues are inherited from the APIs cloud providers expose, which don't meaningfully or uniformly support immutability.

What's fun, is if you run the math (let's assume $1k card) - the credit card companies make more money if you charge and pay off your $1k each month than if you charge $1k and then pay interest on it.

Let's assume 3% merchant fee, they get 3% of each charge, so $30 a month, for $360 in a year. Most cards max at 30% interest, which would be $300 a year (technically less because you're paying it off each time). Even with the 3% once, that's $330.

The banks aren't dumb. The interest they make is gravy.
