I wonder how many of those are actively looking for jobs.
Tesla was founded in 2003.

Obviously they didn’t start building charging stations straight away but this doesn’t really feel like we are all having an honest discussion :/

That said they’ve had a long time to plan those chargers.
The worth of the building is only one of the factors. The other side is the risk.

Actually, the worth side is relatively easy to calculate. But the risks are hidden. Likely there wasn't access to do a proper inspection. Likely tenant leases are not visible. In some cases outstanding bills (especially taxes) come with the building (and are unknown, and likely significant since the seller defaulted on this loan.)

So auction prices don't reflect "worth" they reflect "risk". Usually these unseen costs exceed the hammer price (sometimes by a lot).
This is very effective - it consistently yields great results.
Both I'd say. We consider it less than the thermal problem since there is less regulations about noise, and it's also part of how we build today since there is a tradeoff between price, sound isolation and even thermal isolation. But we do have good techniques.

I'm delighted that you've noticed and appreciate this. :-)
I also enjoyed the article's style. I utterly despise "academic paper speak". It is, imho, not the most effective style to communicate complex ideas. I find it so much easier to learn from a more casual "blog post" or in-person presentation over stiff, rigid academic speak.
It's not too bad, but they made some questionable choices for sure (Task vs. ValueTask, bad ConfigureAwait default for Windows forms).
That’s why it takes time to build the infrastructure, that’s my point.

It’s taken time to build all the other infrastructure, why do we think that a whole new transport infrastructure across all the states should just magically appear in 2 years.
I don't know why this was downvoted - i would agree that by and large people are falling in line and daring to speak up less than I've ever seen in 10+ years...

I think the dumbfoundedness didn't arise from the inherent quality of the music, but his shock at the fact that five people in England didn't know who the Beatles were.

That said, I do think this movie missed out on a lot of potential, by not exploring what the actual significance of the Beatles to the world would have been: it never really asks what the world would be like had the Beatles never existed, which I think is a really interesting question, and instead develop a typical Hollywood plot.
Since there are a lot of founders here, I'm curious about what your positions are whether you have any guides/references to creating a good environment.

My own experience has been that with junior talent, they don't gel with the team and don't have anything in common with the rest of the employees outside of the project they're working on.
It says it reduces “self-reported mindfulness”. Maybe you have to be at least a little mindful to realize how unmindful you are?

Similar to how people who have never studied cognitive bias assume they are unbiased.
Does it work? Looking at the code, the regex it uses to find the urls seems to be:

"Absolutely no reason" is wrong, "almost certainly no reason for most programs" is more accurate. You'll need arrays of you're writing buffers, various types of collections (B-trees, hashtables), etc.
1. On the Amazon website, you can download the invoice (Rechnung) from the order page. Search for it, I think it's in a menu triggered by a small button at the top right of the order information.

2. In Germany (I think it's even EU-wide), never use the warranty (Garantie) of the manufacturer during the first two years of ownership, but use the Gewährleistung which says that Amazon (the seller) has to make sure your product works. If it has a problem, they (the seller) have to either fix it, replace it, or give you the money back, which is what Amazon does if they were the seller. It's a bit more cumbersome if you bought it on Amazon Marketplace (which I avoid for this reason) because then you have to get in contact with them and not with Amazon directly. They can also ship the board to ASUS to see if they fix it for the seller under warranty, but if they don't, then the seller must find an appropriate solution for you (replace or money back). They have to prove that you broke it (Beweislastumkehr)

If you first tried it via warranty, you can show the seller the communication with the manufacturer to speed up things up for the seller, but you need to send the product to them.

That the board is now lost is a problem, but they should have sent it with a tracking code.

Then again, you say you bought it from Amazon US via Amazon Deutschland, which could be a Marketplace transaction and Amazon Deutschland could say it's not their problem, that you should talk with Amazon US. But even then Amazon US would need to adhere to the Gewährleistung, since it was sold in Germany.
It's an incredible share that we've accepted the "technical debt" metaphor so deeply into our vocabulary that we can't discuss the practical problem without devolving into interpreting the metaphor.

The practical definition is clear. It's a lack of maintenence of core abstraction. Leftovers from different designs, deeply embedded into our solution. Sometimes we plan for it to live in a corner somewhere, but more often we discover the failure of some abstraction all too late.

It doesn't work like debt at all. We didn't sign a termsheet, and we didn't calculate the impact. We need to move beyond this hopeless metaphor such that we can actually discuss what software needs, because right we're staring at a field emptied of nitrogen by years of farming and saying it has a "resource debt"
Genuine "top talent" is the people that care about the company; they aren't leaving.
A foreclosure auction is the process by which a borrower in default is relieved of the property. Proceeds will fufill the liens in order of priority, and anything left will go to the borrower.

The buyer typically owns the property free and clear of encumberances; there's some details there.

In this case, and in the case of many foreclosure auctions, there were no bidders willing to get anywhere close to the outstanding loan ($83M[1]), so the lender won with probably an opening bid, or at least one above any other bidders.

Depending on the foreclosure process, the lender may be able to seek further recourse from the borrower in court, or may only be able to take over the property. Regardless, the lender now owns it, and can do a willing sale as bruce511 mentions. Likely this will involve a longer marketting period and an opportunity for due dilligence.

While you're right that median is more useful than mean in this case, it doesn't address the specific issue jltsiren raised, that this kind of statistics tends to exclude luxury goods.

This seems reasonable, as luxury is not related to the cost of 'living'. However doing so they include more-than-necessary-to-live earnings but excludes more-than-necessary-to-live costs.

In other words, if you include Bruce Wayne's income, you should include batmobiles, too!
Sorry I didn't see anything about Chinese taking of the tests on there and thought it was the other one. Honestly the AP exam is a completely alien concept to me (in Canada)
I'm from Australia and spent five weeks travelling in the US earlier this year. It felt more expensive than any previous trip, and also relative to Australia. We had grocery runs where I walked away wondering how a significant portion of the population there could afford to eat decent food. Tipping is always rising as well, so to eat out you're then paying a larger premium on an already higher number.

One example I can remember, comparing a pretty default Thai place in the US to one of the more premium Thai restaurants here in Adelaide:
AU: Pad Thai chicken AU$23, Kao Pad chicken AU$19.
US: Pad Thai chicken + tax and tip AU$32, house fried rice AU$32.

Yes, there's cheaper and more expensive, but that was a 'special occasion' restaurant versus a place we just stopped in adjacent a Walmart carpark.
Study did not find top talent joined when ordered to go back to the home
I’m kind of curious why people are under the impression that people don’t do this in the office too.

I’ve known people to do full time online masters degrees during office hours. I’ve played a heck of a lot of video games in office. Certainly read a lot of books at the office.

Offices are not some magical “go find work” hypnotic environments.

The core of my software rasterizer written for an Atari ST 3D game was trapezoids.* The polygons would be broken into trapezoids and then the fill was, what I thought at the time, fast dual DDA (for left and right edges) and then some fast memory fill for the parts that were word width between the two edges.

For your N64 experiment, you say there's no way to check if it's faster without an actual RSP implementation - was there something stopping you from doing so? I've seen other people write custom RSP code in present day.

Yeah, no. The only people who care about the company are the execs who own enough stock to care and green newbies who haven't been burned yet by companies who do not care about them at all.

That's just a fictional straw-man you've invented.

There is no evidence that remote workers are all just sitting around doing nothing.

And if they were then the problem is clearly with their managers who are unable to provide clear goals and monitor their status.

Well, yeah...

I am at my current job due to my previous one demanding RTO. As soon as they started taking attendance in the office, I walked out. I know a number of others who did the same, at a number of companies.

Then the layoffs started and this paused as people were scared. Now that hiring is picking up again and many feel that the worst is behind us, multiple people from former workplaces that are in full-on RTO mode have already reached out asking how things are at my current workplace and whether we are hiring for remote roles (we are).

To some degree all military ideas are bad, so there is very limited scope for "speaking up".

Militaries are not democracies. Orders flow downhill.

In this specific case the guy on top wanted to invade for reasons. Yes, What objections the generals would have had would have been partly suppressed by the natural military doctrine (but that exists in all militaries) but equally the nature of their leader's personality would have suppressed objection. He was not known for changing his mind.

Equally after the successes of 1940 it Likely wasn't as obvious a mistake then as we see it now.

Had the UK fallen in 1940, and there being no second front, (and hence no North Africa) Barbarossa would have like succeeded as well.

I'm not defending their software. It does honestly have a ton of issues.

George Hotz tried to get a consumer card to work. He also refused my public invitations to have free time on my enterprise cards, calling me an AMD shill.

AMD listened and responded to him and gave him even the difficult things that he was demanding. He has the tools to make it work now and if he needs more, AMD already seems willing to give it. That is progress.

To simply throw out George as the be-all and end-all of a $245B company... frankly absurd.

Social media and it's amplification of the desperation to show off. Apple products are cool/expensive and I am cool/above average/have buying power/<insert_your_wannabe_reason> to have them while I sip my pumpkin latte at Starbucks. They are also high quality machines but I don't think for everyone that buys them, the motivation is solely the software/hardware stack.
If you're interested in buildings at auction, you can follow court filings, default notices, and auction notices.

If a lender is suing its borrower, that's a sign that the borrower may not be following the terms of the loan and the property may be heading to foreclosure.

If a lender files a notice of default on a property, that's a pretty good sign that payments aren't being made timely, and the property may be heading to foreclosure.

If a lender files a notice of foreclosure auction, that's an even better sign that there will be a foreclosure auction, but they can usually be called off, up until the start of bidding; sometimes only if the borrower pays the outstanding balance, sometimes if the borrower makes the late payments, sometimes at the lender's discretion.

> If anything, their tech companies have been largely laggards on the world stage with most being simple derivatives of western brands capitalizing on their large population base and barrier to foreign entry.

That is because they started out without basically anything 25 years ago as one of the poorest countries in the world. It takes about 25 years to build up your infrastructure by using capitalism, they are there now, today they can start to innovate.

Before they caught up the most productive effort will always be to just build up all the standard infrastructure instead of trying to innovate, so of course they didn't innovate. But today there is no such thing, you will see them transition to an innovative economy just like Japan did 50 years ago.

Edit: Note that tech company includes computer hardware manufacturing, those companies are absolutely a core part to Chinas miracle, being able to produce high end computer parts at scale requires a very developed economy. If not for US bans China would be even more dominating there.
> You say this like it's something that anyone can do.

They can either do that now or lose their entire livelyhood later, with less time to transition. Its their choice I guess. If they want to be in an even more doomed situation, I guess they are free to do so. But I wouldn't recommend it.

There's no risk for senior engineers. Senior engineers have all the power in the current job market.

Either you're seeing mid-level or lower RTO or there's another reason.
You might even say that they were trying to lay off an overaccumulation of senior "talent" without having to pay them off. RTW is probably mostly covert layoffs; you won't see these people replaced, and in a year or two these companies will have significant numbers of employees working from home again.
What you're doing is criticizing decadence from an epicurean perspective.
HN guidelines urge us not to cross-examine and I wouldn't want to do that anyway, so let me just say this.

If you want to share the details of how you were bitten by these sorts of things, I'll welcome it as your "lived experience" as they say. My own experience was as a system integrator from 1997 to 1999 for a client-server CRM product called Onyx, which had a VB front-end and a MSSQL back-end with all the logic in sprocs. I didn't write it, so I don't know what that was like, but I customized it, and it worked. I was a Java developer from 2000 to 2002 building first dot-com boom internet applications this way in a small team for admittedly small clients, and it worked. I was a Java developer from 2002 to 2005 building "intranet" applications this way in a small team for a big client (Wells Fargo) with Oracle sprocs, and it worked, though already by then the industry was 5 years into the fashion of "N-tier architectures", "application servers", and "ORMs" so this way was definitely unorthodox. When I came back from grad school this way was history, with Ruby on Rails, Django, and Spring plus Hibernate being the standard. I was again a Java developer at an enterprise back-office software company from 2010 to 2016 and we definitely did not do it this way. We also had 200+ engineers and I'm quite sure it would've been chaos if we'd tried.

The way I see it is that there are few technical obstacles that aren't dwarfed by social obstacles. No software architecture or development practice will succeed whatever its merits if people don't want to use them. In my experience, what engineers have wanted is to program in anything but SQL. Building database-backed web services (for example) in the orthodox way is inefficient but it works, and more important it feels like work. It demands large teams, and then rewards large teams with forward progress and a code base that makes sense, but only in the context of a large team. My hunch is that building applications in the database with large teams would fail, but also that large teams are unnecessary when building applications in the database.

But hey. Maybe I'm wrong. You tell me. How did the projects you built in this way stuggle?

I recently took a picture of a lizard on a granite with large grains. When I zoomed in to identify the type of lizard I saw that all the grains and some leaves on a tree had been simplified with some type of swirl. I find it unlikely those swirls were artifacts of the sensor itself. My assumption is the effect is related to compression given how often it repeated but I'm not sure.

So I am a scientist and I've generally resisted using llms for my work. My general critique reading others' experience is this sounds like what is needed is better abstractions if all it helps people with is doing boilerplate that needs to be checked. Also no need for "better abstractions" to be some ethereal thing, this just means better standardised libraries and frameworks. May be if the word "abstractions" sounds too bespoke may be what is needed is better tools and tooling.

The standardised bit seems more difficult than it should be as it's essentially a social problem with development in general, but that also is a problen AI does not address, it's merely a bandaid over the problem.

One option would be to label data according to induced reactions in whales to whale language completions (i.e., let the LLM complete whale language and use the reactions to try to induce some understanding. But it feels unlikely we would get further than providing a chatgpt for whales that only they can understand.
A very large office building built in 1981 is going to be coming up on the need for some expensive plumbing repairs very soon, if there's no record of it being done recently. And probably contains lots of other unrefurbished space that couldn't be rented out at grade A office space $/sqft rates. Interestingly enough the building does seem to have a marketing website which shows several full-floor office spaces for rent with floor plans, but no photos of the space.
