I love Hacker News. So many people here strive to work for FAANG or some other bloated SV tech company with a free-money grow-or-die mindset, and proceed adopt this view of management as if it’s an immoveable, universal truth.

Without me, my team would drown in less than a week. Say what you want about that implying a lack of resilience, or that I’m not teaching a man to fish, but it’s the current reality. I work insanely hard to ensure that they can do their best work, that their best work always gets better, and that they get the most out of their time in my team, distraction-free. I work insanely hard to smooth over organisational politics, communications failures, and so many other things that every day without fail so many people in this community bitch and moan about.

This is an anonymous account, there’s no benefit to me self-promoting. I’d never be this confidently candid were my name attached, no matter who I was talking to.

Maybe you should go find a better team to work for.
If you just want any old entropy, and don't care about proving to someone else that your entropy is good, these are acceptable. But it's honestly really easy to get entropy on that grate, and thanks to modern cryptographically secure PRNG, you don't need a lot of 'real' entropy. You can stretch it out forever.

If you want/need to be able to argue to a third party that your entropy was good, you can spend a bit more.

How do you convince anyone that your mic input was actual real mic input, and not just a sequence of bits you made up to be convenient for you?
I have had this thought for ages and I'm stoked to see someone having built it.

It seems to create a huge risk for your data though. Any ideas about how you might go about securing against the application itself doing something untoward?
The author has a little whine fest to try to make windows sound great & Linux sound insane:

> There are some things that Windows does very well compared to macOS and Linux. All the games are there, for one thing, and Windows runs on all sorts of hardware without a lot of fiddling. You do not have to spend a thousand dollars minimum on a non-upgradable machine to use it. You also generally do not have to download a bunch of drivers or spend six hours in the command line hand-assembling the goddamn operating system.

But on Windows now it requires hunting through all kinds of really bad low-quality web pages to see if you can tweak some behavior that you are absolutely fed up & at the end of your rope with. Desperate to find some special registry setting you can fiddle with, or lately, use ViveTool/StagingTool to tweak incredibly opaque Feature IDs that might possible help. Windows has become the configuration nightmare that Linux was, and there's nothing remotely as comforting or capable as a command line there to help you scout shit out & try to improve things with; with Windows you're stranded & alone.

The author also clearly hasn't spent a lick of effort trying to install a vaguely modern end-user-centric distro in a decade. Nor are they aware that basically every game except Destiny 2 and Modern Warfare (and some others with particularly pernicious root-kitting anti-cheat software) runs great on Linux. My new years resolution was to stopping booting my desktop/gaming PC into Windows unless I need it, and it's been so lovely, games so near universally work, and things like playing a game while watching movie - where windows gives me 3 fps of movie - run butter smooth.
A bigger issue would be that a course isn't presented to a small group of kids who need to be engaged ("shaken by the shoulder" as the author says), it's for the whole class, including:

- kids who're already engaged, though aren't studying on their own and need some bare explainations

- kids who don't want to be engaged and won't be anyway

- kids who could be engaged depending on some other factor that no other kid cares about

Teaching to a class of 30+ kids means you can't take any extreme bet on what will work as a teaching method, and going for the most energy efficient way is a good practice in general.
>If you’ve received job offers locally and overseas that would be interesting, but what you’re talking about sounds like speculation.

Yes, I had considered moving to Europe after completing my Phd. The offers were about 1/3rd of US, with a significantly lower potential for growing beyond a few tens of percentages over 5-10 years.
Got sucked into this (shakes fist). EIA.gov estimates 16.6 GW nameplate of behind-the-meter solar at end of 2023 (having grown ~150MW/m through the year; it was 14.5 in January), generating 1.7 TWh/month in December and 3TWh in high summer, or 50GWh/day in winter and 100GWH/day in summer. If the growth continues at that rate, in July we will have 17.6GW generating 3.4TWh. Note that California has mandated panels on new buildings ...

To piggy back on it. A good manager will shield you from other bad managers and outsourcing firms promising the moon.

Quite a sad state of affairs.
The number of times I'm told to use porn mode (anon browser) to use those bloody things is annoying.

I often need to be multiple identities. My email clients, if webby, understand that and just work. My work sites just work too. I have quite a few customers, whom I act on behalf of, and I need that to work efficiently and be secure.

MS admin portals seem to be rather arrogant and sort sighted and insist on one identity per browser invocation and not per session (hence the porn mode workaround). I don't think that is a Mac thing at all - its probably rather lazy programming.

It seems they are incapable (or unwilling) to efficiently define how to authenticate and authorise a "session", without some serious constraints.
What do we call the people who created the simulation? Is it unreasonable that they would give us stories to impose their own morals on us? Maybe they have a punishment or a reward for you depending on your qualities, such as getting to live in the host universe or getting stuck in an undesirable environment.

I’m more partial to God being Humans that survived the flood (being real and caused by an asteroid exploding over ice caps) and have been chilling underwater, occasionally popping their UAPs up and poking around. But I don’t hold that view too firmly.

Busing, sports, schools attached to correctional institutions with crazy-high (six figures) per pupil spending may be in the same system and that may not be true everywhere. High health insurance costs for staff.

A few things off the top of my head that may be different (or maybe not!) but there could well be more.

OTOH lots of other places have far better school lunches and they’re free, but maybe those aren’t budgeted under the school but some other department. Lots of ways to get different outcomes with different accounting, without even doing anything plainly incorrect.
The dialog is complex but the documentation is informative and I think all the options are important. You can setup default values in the settings section. It's more an expert tool like ffmpeg. Every folder synchronization endpoint configuration is different especially as it's distributed instead of the default clients/server.
I hope I have the same effect on students doing internships where I work this year . I believe my René was Brian Harvey!

Kernel developers need to consider backwards compatibility. You won't want to see some users lose their data because they upgraded the kernel. Therefore it is very hard to "force" something.
One thing to keep in mind is teaching is a psychologically demanding job. A good manager will provide the tools needed to succeed professionally and may provide you with the tools to deal with personal issues, but they ultimately have the option to cut an employee loose if they cannot make positive contributions to the workplace. Contrast that to teaching. The measure of success of a teacher is the success of the students who they teach. They often learn details of a student's life that few managers would ever learn of their employees. A well functioning adult would have difficulty dealing with these things, never mind a child or teenager. These are things like children who have had a parent who committed suicide, teenagers who are aging out of the foster care system, students with psychological conditions that would preclude them from most workplaces. These, and many more things, leave teachers working in an environment where a portion of the students are not ready to learn no matter how skilled the teacher is at motivating and delivering the curriculum.

Teachers have to do much more than that. While maintaining their own mental health, which is challenging given the environment they are frequently working in. (Even more so since most teachers enter the profession with optimism and compassion.)
The article suggest that it was neither. That rather it was an engineering decision: the product did not have staffing to be properly maintained, and rather than staff it up, it was easier to turn it down.
Thank you for the recommendation! definitely that's a dimension I need to checkout :)

Seems to still be inconclusive:

Several meta-analyses have attempted to determine the relationships between intake of α-linolenic acid (ALA) and prostate cancer, but results were inconclusive.

By the way, when making an argument by citing a lot of sources the reader is often inclined to think that you're not being unbiased in the selection of sources.
The comment I replied to stated that was the conclusion - 600 burned meant 600 saved. So apparently the misinterpretation is common.
Huh, thank you. Moved here recently so going to have to check it out. If I have battery storage to supply my home, surplus would at least make some money right?

See also aspect-oriented programming (AoP): https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aspect-oriented_programming Algebraic effects might be a little too strict and narrowly defined for something as generic as, e.g., injecting ad hoc logging. With algebraic effects you need to reify in the type system the specific control flow behaviors you care about, and then get code to use those types and operators accordingly. AoP seems like a higher-level (if looser) concept that isn't necessarily specifically bound to the particular details of the type system. That modeling freedom seems necessary unless you're creating a language from scratch or confining yourself to a very limited set of control effects that can be shoe-horned into the existing type system and control flow operators.
Any resources in that? Seems ridiculous. I get a “net connection fee” and can even somewhat feel comfortable with this NEM 3 thing, but what I generate should be mine to control, I could do it completely off grid if I wanted.

As mentioned in other comment, moved here recently and exploring the situation.
The most recent(?) state plan: https://ww2.arb.ca.gov/sites/default/files/2022-11/2022-sp.p... . On page 203 you see the plan is 20GW of offshore wind, an enormous amount of storage and new solar, and smaller contributions from everything else. I'd bet enhanced geothermal and heat and iron storage would be weighted higher today. If we can permit it, we'll do it.
> Otherwise, it's compatible with literally anything

> and hence can explain nothing.

Could you explain your reasoning here?
Hmm, I wonder if we read the same letter, since you are leaving the salient parts out. He said some stupid things, as an example of saying stupid things.

It was reprehensible, IMO, and exhibited very poor judgment, but his full statement makes it clear his intention was not to imply that one race is genetically superior to another, but rather to say that poor nutrition and socioeconomic conditions lead to suboptimal outcomes and measurable differences in cognitive health.

I think that’s a plausible hypothesis, and I think that poor nutrition and socioeconomic conditions are something that a wealthy society should probably be trying to address.

I also think that he used some very portly chosen words to make an unimportant, belligerent point… and then that point was roundly made for him by everyone deciding that he must be a racist.

And maybe he is, I don’t know, but the contents of that particular letter don’t say that to me, even as objectionable as the parts that you brought out of the full context certainly are.

As for not being a dick, he absolutely should be called out for saying dickish, petulant things. But that’s not what happened.
Go strings aren't necessarily text. Rust strings are text, as long as you consider things like emoji or Egyptian hieroglyphics to be text. Lots of confusion has come from the imprecise meaning of "string", whether it's referring to arbitrary byte sequences, restricted byte sequences (e.g. not containing 0x00), arbitrary sequences of characters with some encoding, restricted sequences of characters with some encoding, or something else is often unclear. And when it's a restricted sequence what those restrictions are is also often unclear.

You sometimes need a way to operate on entirely arbitrary sequences of bytes. This is mostly easy, it's been a long time since non-octet bytes were relevant in most situations, so the vast majority of the time you can just assume they're all octets.

You sometimes need a way to operate on arbitrary text. This inherently requires knowing how that text is encoded, but as long as you know that it's mostly easy.

You sometimes need a way to operate on text-like things that aren't necessarily text, like the output of old CLI programs that used the BEL character to alert the user to events. Or POSIX filenames. Or text where you don't know the encoding. This is where the bugs lie, where we make unchecked assumptions about the data that turn out to be invalid.
Staff get paid by the hour for the most part. They have little reason to hustle.

A startup has incentive for early employees to hustle. Bayer does not.

Much like communism there is just no incentive to individually perform and “for the greater good” of the company or whatever generally isn’t persuasive
General reminder that iCloud is a syncing service (passable), not a backup service. So do your 3-2-1 religiously and everything is ok. I only store things that I may need on 2 or more devices and active projects, but I still backup everything to other drives.
most of the GenAI players use both PyTorch and JAX, depending on the hardware they are running on. Character, Anthro, Midjourney, etc. are dual shops (they use both). xAI only uses JAX afaik.
OSRS also encourages everyone to enable 2fa by tying it to a quest that gives you 10k ingame currency.

I assume they are so serious about security because it would generate a lot of work for support, and people are constantly trying to scam each other and hack accounts. Plus, they don't have the luxury of locking the whole account until you go into your bank in person.
I have harped on this before. Say you have a million dollars. It's not hard to spend that on solar so that you have a million dollars of productive capacity. If you spend it on a nuclear plant, you have a deposit on a feasibility study. Fossil seems in the middle; it has a bit of a cheat advantage since backend cleanup costs do not seem to be fully funded.

I never knew the term 'overnight cost' until I read the _Construction Physics_ blog, but I will crow that I had thought about the notion. Short turnaround from pennies to production seems to be a killer advantage.
Yeah, it’s a lazy shorthand for a plethora of societal ills. It is pretty cringeworthy, I have to concur.
> A felon is commonly used to refer to a person who has been convicted of a crime and particularly (but not only) whose sentence is not yet completed.

Not, though. According to Wikipedia:

“The status and designation as a "felon" is considered permanent and is not extinguished upon sentence completion even if parole, probation or early release was given.” https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Felony

And a felony is defined differently in different states. And since such a wide variety of crimes are classified as felonies it is really hard to usefully draw any conclusions other than “person convicted of a felony at some point in their life” which is hardly useful. Could be a stone cold killer, could be a tax evader. Who knows? A felon is a felon.

Thank you for engaging constructively on this discussion.

Yea, as someone who is more outspoken and has passible soft skills, I often find myself accidentally becoming team leads in ways that often end up making me a worse engineer. If I'm the only person who understands the work and can express it in legible english, I end up writing all the tickets because the Project Manager can't do it as well as me. I end up leading meetings because I understand the architecture reasonably well and can put it into words. And yet, I end up looking bad on paper because I complete very little technical work because I'm doing half of the job of 3 managers.
Entry level for my job in the Bay Area was 110K salary an about a other 70K in RSUs. This was 2015. Granted this was probably above average, as it was a medium sized but highly regarded company.
"Individual responsibility" anti-littering campaigns, most notoriously the 1971 "crying indian" advert, were strongly driven by industries associated with single-use packaging and products which overwhelmingly constituted such pollution. By putting the onus on individual "consumers", the producers were off the hook for responsibility.

Create an economy in which there is nothing to throw away, or in which costs of recovery and recycling are built in to the products themselves and effectively incentivise round-trip material flows, and the problem largely solves itself. Market dynamics tend strongly away from such mechanisms.

Free-market advocates like to point to the general success of anti-pollution, clean air, clean water, safety, and other similar measures in rich Western countries, without acceding in the least that overwhelmingly such progress has come through courts, legal processes, and social advocacy, rather than market mechanisms. Wealth overwhelmingly has shown that it is self-serving power, as Adam Smith noted nearly 250 years ago.

There's a 1967 interview of Ralph Nader by Studs Terkel I've recently run across, and which describes very much what's happening now as it did the circumstances of nearly 60 years ago, though the industries addressed have shifted somewhat. I cannot recommend this highly enough.

> Most countries don’t have enough domestic auto production to care

Countries without domestic production are also not major consumer markets, and when aggregated into major trading blocks like the EU their most influential member states do have domestic production and a strong protectionist bent so I expect they’ll also be strong armed into a protectionist umbrella. It also makes sense for Europe as a whole to not have its domestic production product dumped into oblivion as globalization crumbles.
You also gave them a graduation rate mandate, that’s why.

A school with half the funding full of healthy children of white collar professionals in the ‘burbs will graduate more kids than a school with full funding teaching kids who speak broken English, whose parents move them around a lot between schools because they’re not housing-secure, who don’t always eat breakfast or dinner, and who are on an IEP for a learning disorder.

By far the easiest way to hit a graduation rate target is to try to take as few hard-to-teach kids as possible. The funding to make up the difference in difficulty is… I dunno, astronomical. Maybe pay for their family’s entire living expenses or something.

Managers are definitely needed. The problem is the amount and their tendency to accrue unnecessary "fat" in their teams. It's not an uncommon in big companies to see people who have multiple managers at once and have to report to the multiple people/teams. Or having ridiculously high manager/worker ratio.

Who's getting the 700K FAANG offers? I say this as someone who just took an offer with ~390K TC for an Amazon SDE III or Meta E5 equivalent at FAANG. 10 YoE. Aside from equity value increasing, I don't think 700K without factoring in rising stock prices is common, outside of niche in demand roles.

When intelligence becomes truly abundant and cheap, then human intelligence won't be valued by the market. You only get paid well because your intelligence is scarce, but that won't be the case in a future with ASI.

It's hard to predict what will be valued, maybe personality traits that lend themselves to jobs like social media influencer, politician or actor, because people may still value real humans in these jobs.
I think that's an urban legend. it appears to work sometimes as some ATMs don't do anything with the provided pin until you get further in the transaction. A surprising number of ATMs also do "offline" verification, where the card itself is the only thing validating the pin and the transaction is send back to the card processor later.
