Nah interest rates and tax changes just make that not feasible anymore.

Honestly imo as someone who had a high TC we really need to lower the expectations that a lot of people have about salary.

I think we should scale back to 100k for juniors. Senior and above should be a meaningful title and pay double a junior salary. Just talking base.

Tired of seeing 5-6 engineer levels where most people fuck around while 10% of the org carries everyone else.
You can remap keys on any keyboard layout, no need to get a Japanese keyboard.

Many years ago, I was working in a German lab and their keyboard layout is really impractical for programming in C-like languages because all commonly used symbols are really awkward to type. I wasn't well-versed in XFree86 then (or today for that matter) but I remember I could solve the problem by simply changing they map that Emacs uses to map keyboard keys to input events. In other words, I was still using a German keyboard but when I typed "blindly", it behaved like a US keyboard. I even had some keys to behave context-sensitively, i.e., the same key stroke would produce different symbols depending on where the cursor was positioned in a buffer. That was actually tremendously useful.

So, if you wanted some other key to give you and underscore without having to hold down Shift (which I don't get why this is a problem in the first place, it's not like we don't have auto-complete in our IDEs), there's multiple ways you could achieve it.
AI companies have historically not given two figs about licenses or copyright. The law's murky enough right now that they can claim it's outside of the protections offered by copyright, so a publisher's only real recourse is to either poison the articles for AI consumers or block their crawler's access entirely.
Questioning why something is not enough isn’t the point of my question. The environment meeting requirements could be part of the certification process.

Just like if you mine crypto currencies, it works on any computer, and the result can be checked but not forged.

> please clarify how the government is compelling lenders to make loans that don’t pass the lender’s underwriting criteria

It didn't. Instead it required the lenders, by law, to change their underwriting criteria so that loans which the lenders would previously have chosen not to make, because they were not within their underwriting criteria, were now within their underwriting criteria. It also passed laws forbidding lenders from refusing loans to people who met their underwriting criteria. This was all done on the theory that encouraging home ownership was a good thing and that lenders had been arbitrarily refusing loans to people and needed to be stopped from doing that.

I get that we're skeptical of every little company doing "AI" projects, and we should be, but local AI for browsers already has several obvious applications - translating text without sending it off to a third party like Google, automatically generating subtitles / transcripts for arbitrary audio / video, etc.

Firefox like most independent browsers is also reliant on search engine revenues. If AI threatens search, then it also threatens Mozilla.

Plus Chrome, Brave, Safari, and Edge are already doing the same kinds of research, for the same reasons.
Not all TLDs will let you do that.
There's a fundamental misunderstanding here.

Tolerance is a specification/contractual value - it's the "maximum allowable error". It's not the error of a specific part, it's the "good enough" value. If you need 100 +/- 5%, any value between 95 and 105 is good enough.

Using two components to maybe cancel out the error as you describe. On average, most of the widgets you make by using 2 resistors instead of one may be closer to nominal, but any total value between 95 and 105 would still be acceptable, since the tolerance is specified at 5%.

To change the tolerance you need to have the engineer(s) change the spec.
Sure, that’s essentially what a person would do. Describing that process says nothing about what an LLM does, which we know by definition of the system is applying a set of weights to a text string input.

If you want to reduce all reasoning to just math, then LLMs reason. But then saying something like the OP of “we’ve made computers that reason” is not very novel or useful. Under that framework, computers always reasoned.

Does ChatGPT even “solve” this problem? How do you know it’s not in the training data? Example of a tutorial for making a watermelon in css from 2017: https://dev.to/munamohamed94/easy-css-watermelon-slice-anima...

I did find one small bug while playing: if you drag a letter off the grid, it doesn't properly update the squares on the grid for that group. The space where you removed the letter stays blank, and the remaining places don't show the recently removed letter as a possibility. I noticed that it works as expected when right-clicking to remove the letter, however.

Like someone else mentioned, at some level you need to rely on your ISP and it is also a good idea to have a router in between anyway.

I would like to bypass the BGW320 because not only it is a large, power hungry box, but it also requires me to jump through hoops to get IPV6 working with VLANs. I need to either use multiple physical links (simulating multiple devices) or simulate that using a VRRP hack, otherwise AT&T will not give out multiple ranges at all (and will not care about what I request). Under Comcast I didn't have to do any of that, I'd just carve out smaller IPV6 ranges, as many as needed.
My theory for Tokyo is that its relatively low housing costs come from lax enforcement of zoning and building regulations, and lax enforcement comes from a culture of trust that doesn't exist in other comparably big cities.

We know that Sam is good at what he does and to not be wrong about this, but Cox can't rely on everyone being that good, nor on their very poorly paid front-desk worker to have the ability to tell if they are an idiot or a expert.

In retrospect, Sam should definitely have hit the responsible disclosure page (if such a thing even existed in 2021) but I don't fault anyone for the choices they made here.
Aside, but if you're drinking Diet Dr Pepper: give the Walmart clone a shot ("Diet Dr Thunder"). It has stronger caramel notes and may be a better drink overall.

Big claim for an "own brand" clone but in this rare case it may exceed the drink it is copying for less money. For context, I don't consider Pibb Xtra to be better than full sugar Dr Pepper.
Great to see this launch! I’m looking forward to trying this when our startup is a bit more mature.

If I want a voltage divider, it's a lot easier to just use some 1% resistors and forward-calculate the expected output (rather than doing a calibration) if you're happy with 1-2% error from the resistors and your ADC or the like. Adding software and testing hardware to do a full on calibration is a lot of work.

But yeah, for digital signals, oft times 1k or 100k make no difference.

Same experience here in the UK. My 2016 Model S P90D that I’ve had since new is now valued at ~$30k. 12 months ago it was ~$55k. It has lifetime free supercharging, free premium LTE connectivity (maps, spotify etc) and £0 annual taxes (due to tax laws here, a newer equivalent EV would now be due ~$500 a year). It’s done 50k miles and charges at 130-150kW, range is 180/220 miles in winter/summer.

Whoever buys it when I sell it later this year will get an amazing car.
The downsides aren't unique to Japanese keyboards. On Danish keyboard " requires the use of the shift key, same for = and the \ in on the 7 keys, along with /, requiring you to hit option + shift + 7 (on a mac keyboard, I believe it's Alt + shift + < on none Apple keyboards).

The Japanese keyboard in the article does have { printed on a key, it's Option + Shift + 8 and the Danish Mac keyboard, and the key isn't labels with {, } is on the 9.

I find the first party SDK is likely to work without a lot of trouble but boy do you find people have weird ideas like "I don't know anybody who develops web sites who doesn't use .NET" or "it's no problem that it takes developers two hours to get up and running with our SDK even if they can get up and running with our competitors in five minutes".

It's fair to put a timebox in for a first party SDK and it ought to be a short timebox like 15 minutes because a bad SDK written by people who don't really care if it works properly can steal 15 hours from you pretty quickly.

A basic coding interview doesn't really cover what companies are looking for. There's a lot of talk about devops and cloud development, which means they're looking for people who are already familiar with developing software that's cloud native rather than just general software development ability.

At my day job, we actually spend a significant amount of time working with juniors to get them up to speed on deploying to kubernetes (writing manifest/helm files, building cloud-ready configurations, handling autoscaling etc). The company I work at sees a lot of value in investing senior engineer time into teaching new grads the ropes but I feel like a lot of companies would rather just hire people who already know how to do this stuff.
> Companies charge as much as they can, not how much it costs to produce plus fixed overhead.

Companies will sometimes overtly pass a cost on to the consumer in the hopes of creating political pressure against that cost. For example take a look at your phone or cable bill and how they itemize every tax and fee they have to pay and pass along to you.

"Beaumont says admin access to the system isn’t required to read another user’s Recall database. Another user with an admin account can easily grab any other user’s Recall database and all the Recall screenshots by clicking through a simple UAC prompt."

The person quoted in the article says admin access isn't required and to bolster this gives an example of someone with admin access being able to access the recall database. I'm confused.

Ask HN: Do you use grayscale / color inversion filters in your screen?
I've always been easily distracted, either by changing my editor's theme or changing my OS colors.. a real customization purgatory. It's impossible to achieve true consistency.

It seems to me that using a grayscale filter (+color inversion in dark ambient) helps me immensely not only with that but I also feel much less stimulated.

I don't know of anyone who has a similar experience or even knew that Windows 10 and Chromebooks have these accessibility features built-in [1].

It's also important to note that in modern hardware the processor core proper is just one piece in a very large system.

The Open Web does not necessarily solve this problem. Someone has to pay for hosting and the time spent needing to moderate and ensure content is legal.

Believe it or not the standard is to report the CO2 level measured at the top of an active volcano (Mauna Loa). This is for historical reasons, because it's where the first measurements were taken, but also they claim it's more accurate because the measurement site is surrounded by miles of lava and thus there's no trees or vegetation which could absorb CO2 locally nor any human settlements that could emit CO2.

There is of course the small problem of it being a volcano. Other measurements come from a collection of sensors on TV or telecom towers. Some of them come from planes.

You can see a map of sites here:

https://gml.noaa.gov/dv/iadv/index.php?code=sgi

The trend is the same in every site, although absolute readings vary somewhat. There are cleaner sites than Mauna Loa, like in Antarctica, but those show about 10ppm lower. Others give the same reading as at Mauna Loa but with more seasonal variance. It's unclear whether these differences really matter and they tend to be ignored.

I took a peek since 53 was 8 years after WWII. What a weird time it must have been. Truman telling Eisenhower that Truman would run as VP is Eisenhower ran as president.

12 April 1945 Truman assumes presidency after Roosevelt's death
2 September 1945 WWII ends
2 November 1948 Truman elected president
2 November 1952 Eisenhower elected president

[In 1947] As a result of Truman's low standing in the polls, several Democratic party bosses began working to "dump" Truman and nominate a more popular candidate. . . . On July 10, Eisenhower officially refused to be a candidate.

For both Republicans and Democrats, there were movements of support for General Dwight D. Eisenhower . . . . Unlike the latter movement within the Democratic Party, however, the Republican draft movement came largely from the grassroots of the party. By January 23, 1948, the grassroots movement had successfully entered Eisenhower's name into every state . . . . Stating that soldiers should keep out of politics, Eisenhower declined to run . . . . [0]

In July 1947, President Harry S. Truman considered him an ideal candidate for the Democratic Party, and wanted to "groom the general to follow him". That month, Truman even secretly offered to be the vice-presidential candidate if the general would run for president as a Democrat.

Hoping that Eisenhower would run for the Democratic Party, Truman wrote to him in December 1951, saying: "I wish you would let me know what you intend to do." Eisenhower responded: "I do not feel that I have any duty to seek a political nomination."

Although Eisenhower believed he would win the presidency more easily and with a larger congressional majority as a Democrat, he felt the Truman administration had become corrupt and that the next president would have to reform the government without having to defend past policies. The internationalist wing of the Republican Party saw Eisenhower as an alternative to the more isolationist candidate—Senator Robert A. Taft, the son of former president and chief justice William Howard Taft. Before the primaries, Taft was widely referred to as "Mr. Republican" [1]

I love Dr Pepper, it is definitely my favorite pop. To control the damage to my waistline, I drink the Zero Sugar variant. It is surprisingly close to the regular stuff. Like, close enough that I once inadvertently picked up a pack of regular Dr Pepper when I meant to get Zero, and I did not notice until I was a few bottles into it that I was drinking regular Dr Pepper.

I still love the real sugar kind best, like Dublin Dr Pepper. Just slightly more complex flavor, a bit fruitier. I'm still miffed that Snapple cracked down on them selling it direct to consumers.

Years ago, I did a trial of vision recognition APIs from roughly 8 vendors, some of which were tech giants and some of which were little startups you probably haven't heard of.
