United States. Every 6 months, mandatory courses exactly as GP described. If you refuse, you don't have a job. This is so absolutely normal for most tech and finance companies, and has been for years, that I'm utterly astonished that you believe the GP is making it up. Hell, even my fast food working niece has to do these courses!
Thanks for the detailed response.

I wasn't aware of Phi-3 - I will look into it.
I spent so many years riding bikes in circles on a velodrome. Doesn't seem too different.

When I would ride behind a motorbike, at 40+ mph, it was effort to just keep my body from being pushed down into the handlebars. At 50+, my tires would start to skip upwards/outwards.
Right, sure.

But shareholders still bear the cost of CEO compensation. Whether Elon gets paid 100 shares or 100,000,000 shares, the company still has the same amount of (actual) money to pay employees.

This really is not difficult to grasp.

A JBOD is as the initialism, they're Just a Bunch of Disks. They are simply enclosures that allow a large number of disks to be hooked up to a server. Any RAID or whatnot would be done on the software side, with Ceph or something similar as another reply states.

I think it's going to be a good thing overall for productivity and the advancement of mankind, but it definitely takes a lot of the humanity out of our collective accomplishments.

I think AI will only cause us to become stuck in another local maximum, since not understanding how something works can only lead to imitation at best, and not inspiration.
I once pair programmed (w/@tobinfekkes) a file browser in PHP and bash. PHP would receive the request, exec some bash scripts to cd and ls it's way around the server, then it would output those file names as html buttons to a web page. It was a fun. Bash and PHP are the frowned upon bastard step children of programing languages, but somehow I wish I had your job

It doesn’t “know” - it’s not a security measure - but CD-Rs are harder for a disc drive to read. And the lasers in these old machines are losing power over time as their physical components (e.g. caps) decay, which make them more sensitive to this.
Considering their prior bit was NFTs, I wouldn’t feel too surprised by that feeling.

Imagination has been found to activate the same V1 cortex that vision does. The V1 cortex is retinotopic, so individual neurons (or at most small groups) act like pixels. There are approximately 280 million V1 neurons, so the neuroanatomical resolution of the visual cortex is much greater than 500x500.

This may not be the resolution we perceive as we imagine, but perception involves many additional systems and bottlenecks (notably, one can train oneself to have a more acute imagination, and there are people who report their imagination to be as acute as their vision).

I was curious myself.

"A blank CD-R is not "empty"; the pregroove has a wobble (the ATIP), which helps the writing laser to stay on track and to write the data to the disc at a constant rate. Maintaining a constant rate is essential to ensure the proper size and spacing of the pits and lands burned into the dye layer. As well as providing timing information, the ATIP (absolute time in pregroove) is also a data track containing information about the CD-R manufacturer, the dye used, and media information (disc length and so on). The pregroove is not destroyed when the data are written to the CD-R, a point which some copy protection schemes use to distinguish copies from an original CD." -- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CD-R

And/or: "Some hardware compatible with Red Book CDs may have difficulty reading CD-Rs and, because of their lower reflectivity, especially CD-RWs."

Aren't freezers designed to be very easy to get out of from the inside? Is there something I'm missing about confining people in a freezer? Maybe it blocks cell reception or he's blocking the doors
Sure, but few orgs have as much surface area with such a ridiculously bad service. And I said subconsciously. I really doubt anyone would deliberately refuse to hire a good candidate because they worked for a company with shit customer service. But our thought processes are influenced a whole lot more by subconscious factors than we like to think they are. People that think their thought process is entirely logical and deliberate usually just lack the introspection to see how wrong they are. It's basically the core tenet of modern advertising.
VB 5 (and, especially, 6) were some of the best UI builders ever designed, IMO.

Yeah, there was a crap language underneath, but I've never seen anything better at whipping up a serviceable GUI in a hurry.

Back in the day I sometimes wrote the UI for Windows C and C++ programs using VB6. It was that good.

GBM is horrible.

At my first company, our VP of Sales, Luke Little, was one of my favorite people to hang with; I was still barely 20 and he was in his 40's but he had quite the mischievous twinkle in his eye and was willing to join us kids in tomfoolery and tell us about the world. We were acquired and got a great exit in July; he had a seizure driving the Cobra he bought to celebrate a few months later; he went downhill quickly and died within a couple of years. He had a young son, too.
Except for the possibility of extortion while in prison.

I would bet if he had to do this again CZ would never have left UAE. There is no extradition treaty. He was expecting _no_ prison time.

He may be wealthy but he will always be a criminal who achieved wealth by knowingly doing business with criminals, got caught and served time in federal prison as a result.

It sounds to me as if this parent comment is expressing admiration. For a convicted criminal.
Then you can change the font (and colours). A Gemini file does not specify fonts/colours, so it is possible for the user to specify them (according to the client software being used).
>This is of course true, but there's something very broken with lisp: metaprogramming and programming aren't the same thing,

Metaprogramming and programming are the same thing. It's just that no language, including all lisp, (but hilariously not m4) get quotation wrong. Lisp gets around this with macros which let you ignore quotation and deal with meta language statements expressed as object language statements when they clearly should not be.

This issue stems from the fact space in the object and meta language is treated as the termination of an atom without distinction between the two.

>Cognition is different in that it uses an antisyntax that is fully postfix. This has similarities with concatenative programming languages

Postfix languages are a dual of prefix languages and suffer from the same issue. You either need to define the arity of all symbols ahead of time and not use higher order functions or you need a pair of delimiters which can serialise a tree. Relying on an implicit zeroth order stack solved the problem in the same way a lobotomy solves depression.

I would probably never use the term “ceiling cat” unprompted, but if there was ever a person to which the term could be applied, it’s this guy. Not in the spying sense you’re implying, but clearly acclimated to ceilings
You should watch this asianometry video on the birth of SQL, very interesting, and in fact a functional approach, based on relational algebra and tuple relational calculus, was originally what the father of the concept intended for interacting with the db. Other IBM engineers formulated the SQL language over that.

The precursors to sql rdbms, and the war over competing concepts, were also quite thought provoking.

Stainless | Generalist Engineers, First AE | NYC ONSITE | Full-time

(We were on hn recently: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=40146505)

Stainless is building the platform for high-quality, easy-to-use APIs. Our first product is SDKs as a service. When you `npm install openai` or `pip install openai`, for example, you’re downloading code that we generated. (I built the codegen system at Stripe for their SDKs, and am now building a better version for everyone.)

Next, we want to make it easy to build amazing REST APIs. REST is simple and ubiquitous, but right now it’s also messy, chaotic, and hard to get right. We’re going to build great open-source standards and tooling that bring the benefits of GraphQL (types, field selection/expansion, standards) and gRPC (types, speed, versioning) to REST.

We’re ~2y old, ~10 people, have strong revenue (could choose to be profitable), and great customers (including OpenAI, Anthropic, and Cloudflare). We’re backed by Sequoia.

As one of our first ten engineers, you’ll get autonomy to build great products, skilled peers, opportunity for tremendous impact, competitive salary, and a very competitive ownership stake.

We’re looking for exceptionally productive, thoughtful, tasteful, and kind people with a passion for making software development better for everyone.

Huh, what are they doing different than me? I used to burn cheap CD-Rs, they worked, and play them on my 3DO all the time. I'm not sure I ever actually bought any games for it (I got it in 2007). I never had any issue playing the games I burned. I don't have a 3DO anymore or I'd try it now.

I still think it's low-effort crap, and burned CDs and DVDs don't last forever. My dad used to burn lots of DVDs of home movies and there's been a lot of disc rot that's ruined some of them [1]. If I had paid $60 for Plumbers Don't Wear Ties and it turns to a coaster in six years, I'd be pretty pissed. At that point, I could pretty easily just torrent an ISO and burn it myself for like twenty cents.

[1] Fortunately my dad was sort of nuts about burning like five copies of every DVD he made, so we haven't lost much and most of the stuff has been backed up on more durable sources now.

Hello!

I received undergraduate degree in Mathematics with a minor in Biology. After that I went back and completed my pre-med requirements. After that I went back and completed a Computer Programming certificate.

I studied abroad in Japan and can speak some Japanese.

I have participated in three research projects, one involving cancer data analysis, one involving testing experimental drugs to treat potential bioterrorism related bacterial infections, and another involving testing and modeling circuits which act as logic gates that become more accurate with increased randomness. Guess which one lead to a published paper!

I have worked in a library. I have worked as a chemistry tutor, twice.

I have worked for two of the largest financial institutions in the world. I got my Series 7 but let it lapse because it was time to pursue my true passion... programming in Python.

I've worked for the last four years in Cybersecurity as an Automation Engineer, keeping one of the world's largest banks safe from attackers.

To make matters worse, I'm now extremely interested in building my own AI models.

If you have a role where my eclectic collection of skills, experiences and interests would come in handy, please don't hesitate to reach out.

I've recently relocated to the Bay Area, and I am looking for jobs close by. I have many years of experience working effectively remotely as well.

I've left a lot of my belongings in a storage unit in Atlanta, where I just relocated from, so if your company would be willing to pay for relocation expenses as a part of your job offer, that would be a huge bonus.

Thanks for reading!

I am defining reason exactly as Wikipedia puts it: "Reason is the capacity of applying logic consciously by drawing conclusions from new or existing information, with the aim of seeking the truth."

There are no tribes here. Republican vs. Democrat, I do not care. If your logic is unsound, I'm going to call you out even if I agree with the conclusion. State your definitions so we can have a formal logic-based debate. For the record, I use neural networks every day and believe that they are incredibly useful and can be purpose-built to beat humans on a large set of tasks. Can they reason? No. Can formal theorem provers reason? No they cannot. They can only verify.

Different protocols, file formats, programming languages, etc can be useful for different things. If you are only writing such text that is just a simple text rather than all of the fancy stuff like HTML, CSS, etc, then it will work very well OK.

Of course, many people (including myself) do have criticisms, e.g. some people dislike mandatory TLS. (That is (one reason) why I made up my own (which also has many other differences from Gemini (and from WWW)), but that doesn't mean that Gemini cannot be used.)

Note that simple explanations are possible, e.g: Use TLS with port 1965; send the full URL and then carriage return and line feed. (In this case, the URL is "gemini://geminiprotocol.net/")
Cartography. The mapping of uncharted territories.
Sometimes the best one can do is try. It's worse to give up.

And are you a good judge on if it's better? Better can be very complicated, it could be better in part and worse in another but it's not wrong to try... (Unless well it really becomes really corrupted) We as people tend to overcorrect and so life will always swing from one end of a spectrum to another.

I think people do want to do good in the world they just get overwhelmed, or think it's impossible, or discredit the small good things they do.

Sometimes people think if you don't do a major good thing all the small things don't add up - honestly though it's often better to do smaller good long term things then a major non lasting one.

Besides the world is getting greener, healthier and happier all the time if you look in the right places. You will always find what you ask for, so look for good and you will find it. I follow so many YouTube channels showing how much the environment is improving and how such small things really get better. I try to sponsor them when I can and I hope to do more in the future too.

I also personally grow local fruit trees and various plants in my backyard to help local native species and while minor I am doing something even if small.
Taxing land value isn't the reason housing is cheap in Japan. This doesn't mean it's a bad idea, but the main reason prices are currently low is because 1) there's no economic bubble going on like there was in the 1980s, and 2) zoning policy here allows new construction of housing units on a huge scale to meet market demand, unlike other countries where zoning policy makes it very difficult to build new housing.
At that point, why not just use a SQL database with a JSONB column and then add columns as you slowly finalize your schema? :)
Sure. NYC is certainly unique (in the USA) in the regard.
Json columns are really useful. When prototyping applications in sqlite or postgres you can just dump everything into a json column, and as things begin to cool down and stabilise, you can migrate them into their own column.

Postgres goes even further than sqlite in terms of json functionality like aggregates.

And if you wanna go /even/ further you can add schemas to the json itself [1]

Key Takeaways from VeloxCon 2024
Because people will find exploits that allow them to bypass it. Anti cheats in general rely on tons of factors but mainly a lack of knowledge on exactly how HWID bans are enacted, what injections by what processes are put under scrutiny, etc. With source available, all of that stuff is going to be a cake walk for cheaters to bypass. It’s not just a matter of “here’s the source but we are running as ring -n so it doesn’t matter”. full knowledge of AC behavior is a huge boon to bypassing, because there’s almost certainly problems with the implementation that a 15 year old will go on to discover and exploit.
Does this ever actually happen? In my experience, by the time you realize you need regular SQL there is so much code that changing the database is a major project. It will also halt all other feature development.
