And levels.fyi not very accurate because 2nd year bonus is much larger than 1st year bonus in offer letter.

Quants/traders can hit $1M with 5 YOE not too difficult. Portfolio managers (similar to EM in tech) definitely $1M, sometimes $10M.

This would be so great. It also just mirrors the DNS trust model nicely, which is what’s used for X.509 trust anyway by most CAs.
The point of certificate transparency is to have a public audit log of every certificate issued. Even if you had your own CA, you would be obliged to report every certificate you issue to the CT. This is a feature, not a bug.

"Death threats" are so overplayed I don't take anyone claiming to get them seriously anymore.

I can only talk from personal experience I did not trust most online payments around the turn of the millennium, but I did order quite a few things online. I usually payed either by collect on delivery or by invoice like regular good old fashioned mail-order, or by the early 00s VISA had something called e-card or similar, where you could generate a temporary one time use CC via a Java applet, this card was only valid for a day and could only be charged by a pre-determined amount, making the risk very low.

> Only in America can this petulant, narcissistic man-child make it this far.

What makes you think so? I don't think the US is that special.

Japan has lots of 'office heroics'. And eg Hong Kong is very business friendly in terms of hiring and firing.
Yeah, but people need to eat, get to work, etc. At some point businesses have to borrow replace aging equipment, etc. You need some base level investment in productive capacity to simply maintain that capacity. At some point it seems higher interest rates will make this investment more expensive.
A wildcard cert is an unnecessary risk, though.

Just because I trust a server to hold the cert for preview.example.com doesn’t mean I’d want it to be able to pose as prod.example.com, for example.
Used to be this way for .NET Core, I guess with modern .NET they changed it?

I've experienced this so profound changes in my cognitive ability in my own life, but interestingly they don't seem to show up in IQ tests I've taken. My IQ today in my mid 30s is about the same as what it was when I was 16.

However there's not doubt in my mind that I'm far less creative, far slower to reason and far slower to grasp concepts today than in my early 20s.

In some ways I notice I'm smarter in the sense that these days I have more knowledge to fall back on so I wonder if this biases my IQ score a bit. For example, when I take IQ tests I often recognise patterns like the fibonacci sequence which I wouldn't have been familiar with in my teens.

In many ways I'm a more capable human, but specifically for tasks requiring creativity and adaptability, I'm far less able than I was in the past.

I'm an amateur musician and throughout my teens and early 20s I enjoyed writing music. I still do enjoy writing music but I've noticed in recent years I seem to lack the creativity to write anything I care for. I think this is partly that I have too much experience which biases my creativity and I fail to do anything interesting because I fall into familiar patterns. But even in areas where I have less experience I seem to struggle to be as creative as I once was. I guess the only way I can describe it is that it's like that intellectual rebelliousness I once had is not there anymore.

Startups are also harder today because I find I'm slower to adapt to modern approaches and lack creativity in similar ways I do in music.

It's depressing as hell. I wish I could extract my knowledge and have my stupid old creative brain back. At least then I could do interesting stuff.

Sharing because I don't know if anyone here relates. I'm only in my 30s too so if this is the trend I'd hate to think how uncreative and boring I'll be as I get older.

I imagine most of those use the tools built by their developers, and do a lot of paper shuffling and analytical work supported by the software.
I use the regular iCloud sync method.

The Crytomator vault is personal, so i'm the only user, which means that conflicts are rather rare.

I've yet to experience synchronization conflicts with iCloud in my day to day usage, and i've been using iCloud since it was called MobileMe. I even ran with a local cache for a few years, and that never caused a problem either.
Most people prefer habits/conventions over logic.

I've had people get angry when I tried to use Mm (mega metre) or ask why using some currencies symbols before the number when all symbols for all other units are used after.
iGPUs have climbed high enough that they are overpowered for "normal" tasks like video watching and playing browser games. They can even do 1080p 60 FPS gaming to a decently high standard. And we've already proven via ARM that RISC architectures are more than ready for everything from embedded to high-power compute. What happens when iGPUs get good enough for 1440p 120 FPS high-end gaming? Game visuals have plateaued on the rasterization front. Once iGPUs are good enough, nobody will have much reason to get anything other than a tiny mini PC. The last frontier for GPUs will be raw supercomputing. Basically all PCs from there on out will just be mini machines.

The next few years will be very interesting.
I don’t know – Microsoft has been pretty efficient at poisoning the name “Bing” for me, and I was initially neutral on it.
On the contrary. I provide a ton of value, for free, in the form of:

Identifying the actual roots of the problems people post passionately about, and clearly explaining the underlying mechanisms that lead not just to this problem but many others they might not realize are related

Researching for years the best ways to fix it, going out of my way to have substantive discussions with some of the top problem solvers across multiple fields, and publish the videos up publicly

Spending over a decade on actually writing the open source software, hiring people, creating jobs, without asking anything from any of you

And making it freely available as open source, with documentation, all without taking on VC funding or any of the actual profit-taking and extracting rents that goes on here with “software a service”

In literally every way I can, I try to contribute value without taking in return.

So you could not be more wrong, and if you’d click the links you’d see that. But you’d rather not even look, because in your capitalist mind, sharing the result of decades of work and over $1 million spent on free open source platforms for the world is “self-promotion”. You’d rather see another startup extract rents for a simple product built around tiny feature, funded by venture capitalists who want to have an exit by selling shares to the public, who will demand more rent extraction and wait for even further enshittification of platforms and society. It’s pretty amusing to me.

I currently enjoy staying relatively almost completely unknown, and seeing the reaction people have to the most straightforward application of the above solutions to their own problems. Because I think that even on HN, many people are acting very irrationally and groupthink dominates, and while millions of people actually use my software, 99.99% have no idea who I am, and I get to see how human groups react to form instead of substance. This is btw why we often can’t have nice things, at least not unless the solutions, like bitter medicines, are presented wrapped in candy for organizations. We are a generation of children living on an ecological credit card, one of the most spoiled in history, but think we know better than everyone else. So I kind of enjoy seeing the irrationality as a form of entertainment although on a global ecological scale, it’s sadly quite scary.

The only solution I can think of is smarter algorithms that hide negativity and other unwanted comments. Yes you could limit replies, but that doesn't solve the problem for big accounts, their followers have all kinds of unhinged people who like to ask trivial questions and waste your time.

Some think that by changing a service they can get better replies, but there will be no single service that has "sane commenters". This shouldn't be surprising, I saw in Threads complaints that replies had "Facebook vibe", or a common complaint about Mastodon that there were too many geeky reply-guys.

Services should have good filtering in place. A lot of big accounts don't have time to read replies, and they probably shouldn't for their own sanity, but they probably want to see replies from people they follow, i.e. their peers.
Does this mean that the next gpt model could be online, like Gemini?

But only after telling everyone a couple of times that doing so might be incredibly dangerous to humanity.
Certificate Transparency needed to serve website owners and not some greater good. Knowing that someone issued wildcard is enough.
I agree it's not the same, but that's sort of my point. Tesla's gone for global usage, with automatic deactivation, whereas Waymo has done a very specific area of roads built in a similar style. It's broad vs deep, is what I mean.
Maybe 3 or 4 years ago I’d tell everyone to learn web development and get a cushy frontend engineer job.

Now I don’t. It’s too hard to enter tech right now. Juniors not coming from colleges are basically ignored in the job hunt.

I generally think trade skills are better for most people than a college degree (I don’t even have one.)

Even with interrupts there is almost always a single execution unit, and thus single-threaded. An interrupt is just a jump instruction to a predefined handler. The code that was running is entirely stopped until the system decides to resume from that point.
Unfortunately this is one of the places where Linux really doesn't have any good options. While there are definitely raw capture options for Linux, there isn't anything as nice as Screen Studio or Screen Flow or Camtasia for quick, short videos with basic editing.
RIP Google. Yet another story of a company killed by "effective" management. The McKinsey school isn't so effective after all, is it.
> I wonder if there's some nuance missed here. The natural follow-up question in my head is: can the scientific method ever support a supernatural explanation? What could such an explanation look like? How could it have predictive power whilst maintaining its supernaturalness?

In principle religious prophecy could fit the bill. You could imagine a surprising and unambiguous religious prophecy about a future event, such as that the Yellowstone Caldera will erupt in February of 2025. If a series of such prophecies were successfully made about various events spanning a variety of disciplines or topics, each attributing the knowledge to the same deity, it would be difficult for me to not attribute the predictions to the supernatural.

In practice though, religious prophecy tends to either fail in being surprising or in being unambiguous. And when it is not unambiguous, it is not falsifiable.

edit: I would also add that it is important that the prophecy be about something that is independently verifiable as well.
I used to be like this but I think it's more like...why build something if you don't reap some of the benefits?

I've build several products for several companies / individual, some of them were hugely, hugely successful, and then I'd leave and build the next thing. I just got tired of it after a while. Now I hang around for a bit more maintenance and more often than not something cool comes along.

"Billion" meant 10^12 in England until... some time in the 1950s, I think? But 10^9 in the USA.

So there was confusion, even in the English-speaking world. Was. If I understand correctly, England has adopted 10^9, and so now there is no ambiguity.

ah but you repeat yourself, we already use LLMs to replace this antiquated notion of loading webpage snippets and pointing me in 5 different directions.

I'd say "just chatgpt it"? is closer to being in the lexicon and this url just doesn't roll off the tongue

There I was hoping sama-gpt5-chatbot had some creativity chops for naming new things but they must have decided not to use it this time.

Across the board urban and suburban populations have much higher (2-10x) more violent crime (depends on category). That said, many argue the robbery reporting rate is far lower rurally. Things like a broken mailbox is not at all reported.

A power-law distribution probably describes it better.
Certainly not for everyone. If you have a fixed mortgage, and are careful what you buy, you can live like its 2019.

I was at the grocery store a week ago and everything in my basket was reasonably priced for 2019: pork, bread, bananas, carrots and potatoes. Is it a coincidence I happened to buy only things that didn't experience inflation? Heck no. Avoid name brands.
I get a significant medical every two years for various reasons. Some things are always worth measuring (weight, blood pressure, blood work) but conservatism is the status quo with proactive scanning beyond the essentials for good reason.

Without the right preparation and counselling (or, at minimum, a systematic, logical approach to risk), people can get thrown by findings and struggle to weigh up the risks. Is that new cyst on your kidney a problem? Is that small brain aneurysm (with a very low risk of rupture) going to play on your mind? Might you opt for an operation with a higher mortality rate than simply ignoring it? Even worse: when that 'thing' they found isn't really a 'thing' at all but you got treatment for it anyway.

This tech is great to have available and for motivated individuals to have the option to use, but as something to benefit the mass market, I suspect it'll take a lot of time to shift the needle, and not for technological reasons. I think things like a-fib and blood pressure detection on wearables is more likely to have an impact in the medium term.
In my experience LLMs are terrible at naming things, usually some combination of cringe and silly

You can just buy a regular wildcard certificate for *.my-name.com

If your organisation is competent enough to handle an intermediate CA certificate safely, you're certainly competent to handle a wildcard cert safely which is a much easier task.

Sadly it's unlikely you'll ever see the Name Constraints extension adopted. All it takes is one model of 15 year old smart TV failing to respect it, and the CA/Browser Forum will consider it too dangerous to allow.
I'd agree for any other company or even public body, but I'd bet that JS prefer to keep it all in-house. They are extremely secretive.

Practice isn't the issue, everyone loves to do that. It's more the mundane things like writing bios for social media, contacting venues, finalising lyrics etc.
So does that mean my chat will be publicly searchable?
> this is true of anything that learns

Sure, but most things that learn have actual reality as a training set. LLMs have human curated data, which isn’t and can’t be perfectly representative of reality.
I'm happy to act as a reference for Alex as well. I found him on HN in Nov of 2022 and have worked frequently with him over the last year on a number of projects.

I'm not going to say you're wrong, but provide a differing perspective.

Imagine that for no reason you can fathom, you hear that Bob claims <bad thing> about you. You don't know why, so you seek to find out, and you feel you should let people know that Bob isn't right!

That's the sort of logic involved sometimes. Is it wrong? Well, likely in the world of "1 million strangers are reading and some are replying" it is. But it's perfectly sensible in a local community, to want to 'set the record straight'.

And this peer-pressure derived desire to not be seen as a 'bad guy', is moderately important in a cohesive society. This desire to be seen by others in our community in a positive light, is just part of how we as animals, form a society.

It's a "good thing", when locally derived. But yes, we need new ways to deal with this I guess.
That was the part of the book I found most interesting (although the whole book is a good and interesting read)
Hi there. Appreciate the response!

I didn't know that the HTML DOM is being used for Uno's web output but that's good to hear. I was under the impression that things were being drawn to canvas (like how Flutter's web output works) but functionality like Ctrl-F (text search) works on https://gallery.platform.uno/, showing that's not the case.

I'm not sure why I had the impression that the web output used HTML canvas, but maybe that was something that changed since I last looked a few years ago or there might be another reason I was mistaken.

I think one misleading thing that gives the wrong impression is that text isn't selectable on Uno's web output (like https://gallery.platform.uno/), similar to how text isn't selectable on HTML canvas.

I think it's worth having a discussion about that with other employees, because it's one divergence from user expectations about how the web usually works (but application developers may also prefer to make text not selectable so it may be the behaviour you want in some cases after all).
I don't know about that, I always hated the name Bing...and I worked there and thought the product was actually pretty good. IMO Microsoft should have bought search.com and competed with the verb Google.
Abstraction seems too generous of an interpretation.

A more parsimonious hypothesis is that random networks start out broken, structurally incapable of computation because the structure has parts where information stops flowing or signal gain is so low at certain choke points that it’s presence is like a random coin flip.

Training the network to compute ANYTHING fixes this flow problem, making subsequent training easier, without introducing any kind of abstraction.
