> Increasing instructions-per-clock requires much bigger CPU cores, and the dies Apple use for their SoCs are famously enormous. While other chip manufacturers are very conscious of performance/$, Apple's vertical integration gives them wider margins and their customers are much less sensitive to value. So Apple can afford to spend a lot more on bigger chips that are on par in performance but have much greater efficiency.

This is the money shot. Margins on Android phones are often in the single digit percentages, they have even had periods where they’re negative. Qualcomm or Mediatek could easily make phat chips but there would be almost no market for them.

I am very curious what the actual performance of the Snapdragon X is going to be. Laptop margins are often just as thin, so it can’t be too expensive a chip either..

A leet-code test would be much more standardized if candidates could solve it at home. Just send me a link to the quiz and let me solve it within a specified time frame.

I've done tests like this for some companies. It felt a lot fairer and more closely resembling the actual work environment than live leet-code interviews, with biased interviewer(s) and a stress factor that's not a part of the actual job.

My suggestion would be to look into the United Nationals sustainable development goals 1 through to 17. These basically cover all the foundational issues facing society right now.

The next thing I would suggest you do is to look into social enterprises. Social enterprises are good at balancing commercial goals against positive social impact goals. They’re good for respecting the cultures of the societies they serve. They’re also provide people with decent wages (usually) and often provide vulnerable people with career opportunities they otherwise would not have.
Social enterprises are often quite successful, and end up providing a buffer in economic downturns within the communities they serve.

If you were to start a social enterprise, you would have already gone some way towards achieving SDG-8 (decent work and economic growth). However, social enterprises also achieve SDG-17 by working in partnership with local communities, governments, and other businesses.
They also often tackle things like poverty (SDG-1), zero hunger (SDG-2), etc (the list literally goes on).

If you’re serious about wanting to do social good, look at the SDG’s and pick a cause, then from there think about ways you can take the skills you have to build a business that tackles one or more of these issues. There’s no doubt in my mind that the technology that exists today can help solve many of these goals, and there is still so much more work to be done so plenty of opportunities here.

Something closer to building software. Leet code is too far away from it and the performance on it too poorly correlated with actual suitability.
Okay, do do quizzes, but let people google goddamn stuff because that's just how software engineers operate. Don't make it an exam. Don't mimic the worst thing about the education systems. Both in the school and in the university, these goddamn exams were the worst because they tested memory first and everyone else second, and I'm such a kind of person that I could never remember things on command. It was a real struggle. I can't be the only one.

I've never been through the "regular" IT hiring process myself, but I've interviewed several candidates for an Android developer position. I liked asking questions and looking at how the person thinks. I didn't expect exact correct answers for every question, I just wanted to see whether they have a fundamental understanding of Android. After that, they had to build a small app at home (not my initiative) to show their skills.
Ask HN: GitHub Enterprise PR page broken, anyone had same issue?
Hello, this is kind of a long shot and I apologize if this is not coherent with HN guidelines. Happy to remove the post if needed.

I'm working in an organization that uses GitHub Enterprise, and we are experiencing a very strange issue. We have opened a ticket with GitHub, but have not received a reply so far.

I was wondering if anyone here has experienced the same problem and can give us some pointers:

The PR pages are no longer reflecting the commit history of that PR. The only way to "see" the new commits in the UI is to change the base or close and reopen the PR.

Additionally, no actions are run on the PR when a new commit is pushed (we have a number of checks that are run against a new commit; this is no longer happening).

The Git history is preserved, so everything works from the command line, but the UI is just broken.

This behavior started without any action from our side (no config changes, etc.).

Thanks!

Show HN: LeadHunt AI, Unlock Your Need Email Leads for Marketing Lead Generation
Yo, I'm a coder through and through, but I always struggled with finding quality sales leads. That crap is such a time suck, and half the leads are duds anyway. But then I met Greg, this super seasoned sales manager dude.

Greg laid it all out - his industry had a major pain point of never having enough high-quality leads rolling in consistently. The old manual methods just weren't cutting it anymore. That's when the lightbulb went off for me - this is perfect for some AI magic! After months of grinding away, I finally launched the first version of Leadhunt AI.

This slick AI can automatically discover and keep feeding you solid job email leads across different industries. It'll scope out dope leads that fit your custom target audience profiles by intelligently sifting through boatloads of data. Whether you need potential customers, suppliers, or talent - Leadhunt works behind the scenes 24/7 to keep pumping fresh leads your way.

Right now, its key features are:

Multi-industry custom lead discovery
Self-learning to get smarter over time
Daily updates so leads never go stale
Massive data banks covering global markets

This is just the start though - more wicked features are coming down the pipeline. The first version is already live, so I'm hyped to get your feedback! As a dev, I want Leadhunt AI to truly solve your lead headaches and become your lead-getting sidekick.

How does this look outside coding? Do we know of any other professions where there are whiteboard / leetcode style interviews?
While I generally tend to agree with your basic criticism, I think you need to keep in mind our perspectives might be biased due to limited data.

Flyte went OSS what, 4 years ago? I'm not super familiar with it, but a) could have been that it was too unpolished at the time or b) requiring K8s to be a non-starter for some teams/ orgs. Same for Kubeflow.

We also don't know for how long Koheesio existed within Nike.

In short, there's a lot we don't know and there's a good chance the internal reasoning for investing in this made sense under certain circumstances in the past.
Thanks for sharing your product journey. Making hardware products is very interesting, when a single guy does it.

His book From Eternity to Here on the subject of time is one of the very best science trade books I have ever read. It is chock full of end notes too which are a must read so bring two bookmarks to that party :)

I suspect though he would take issue with the description “illusion”. An illusion implies a trick, believing something that isn’t real. I think he would say emergent phenomena are real phenomena that we really experience and that time while it might not be fundamental it is very real.

What's Wrong with SQL?
Not much. In fact, SQL is a powerful language for gaining insights from your data. The concept of a view serves as an efficient, dynamic mechanism to define how insights are derived without the need for copying or moving data.
However, there are some issues with SQL. While it is based on Relational Algebra, its implementation is not always sound.
By adopting a different perspective on SQL, it seamlessly intertwines with Relational Algebra, allowing you to write classic SQL while simultaneously benefiting from the simplicity and insight of Relational Algebra.
This article provides a concise technical overview of how this is implemented in Colbert’s SQL, an integral component of this Relational Database Management System (RDBMS).
Yeah, I was trying to set appropriate expectations for the motion capabilities. The sensor is pretty sensitive, so if there's movement within the spec'd range (~5m) it can trigger. It works quite well indoors / in garages / outdoors where there isn't constant movement in the ~5m region.

> On the other side, the demo images on the Mac app page seem to be all outdoor pictures, so I wonder if excessive motion sensitivity is really an issue.

FWIW I captured those using the time-based triggering (every 30 seconds), so the motion sensor was disabled for those photos.
Now I'm getting a nice "Bag Gateway" error message, but 5min ago it was returning an ugly lb generated 503

That's really cool, did you already saw the dlt library? That one's done for very easy to use EL in python. It's similarly modular and built by senior data engineers for the data team, and the sources are generators which you could probably use too.

How is koheesio different to dlt? Where could they complement each other?
Jesus. The last time I could maybe have passed something like that was 20 years ago when I’d only worked in one language and had only recently stopped writing code in MS Notepad.

A request to a bank that doesn't use TLS would be near-criminal negligence (by the bank) in itself.

If the request does use TLS, then even a compromised router should be unable to decrypt it. TLS is end-to-end encryption.

If the request doesn't use TLS, then the compromised router can already see the request and response that it is relaying. So why does it have to replay the request from somewhere else? It can just exfiltrate the session back to the attacker silently, without replaying it first.

==

If I had to guess, the attacker isn't sure what they're looking for in the HTTP sessions, so they can't push a detection for interesting sessions down to the compromised routers, and they also don't have the bandwidth to simply receive all unencrypted traffic from their router botnet, so instead they're collecting the URLs and building up a list of detection patterns over time through scanning and using heuristics for which requests are worth investigating, something like that?

What are “crime proceeds”?

Are these seized assets by the Feds sold at a discount? Or stolen assets by criminals (also sold at a discount)?

Either way, sounds like classic money laundering as the follow up.

It's a good distinction to make. In the example given, while the code itself looks and does the same - comparing a date to the current date - they represent two different business logic processes, which can change over time.

I mean if there's more instances of this (the DRY "rule" usually says that you deduplicate if there's 3 or more instances) you could refactor it into a utility like "isBeforeNow", but that doesn't add that much value.

Yeah I know how to implement FizzBuzz since it's such a meme, but I've basically never used the mod operator in real code. Maybe it comes up in more math-y code I suppose, but for most backend/frontend/SQL code I've never reached for it.

Tesla has cut prices very aggressively here in Australia [1] such that the "driveaway" prices for the Model 3 and Y are now ~AU$60k (or $US40k). There aren't a lot of government subsidies to buy EVs in Australia so that's what most Telsa buyers will pay, but those prices are very competitive given that many popular ICE SUVs now cost AU$50k+.

Even if that's so, modulus (or at least the concept of remainders) are elementary school math and any competent programmer could bang together an (inefficient) modulus operator in a few minutes.

So even in a language w/o a mod operator, it's not a hard problem if you understand how to solve problems with code.
I realized OpenAI are technically incompetent when they banned my API access for lack of payment even though my pre-paid balance has enough dollars for many months of access. They refuse to deduct the 50cents from the prepay balance to unblock my API access and are holding my money hostage. OpenAI is the only company that I have paid for but can’t use due to lack of payment with a very positive prepay balance, also they are refusing my credit card put of the blue that they happily accepted for a year.

This ended up being a good thing in the end because it forced me to integrate other LLMs into my project when before I would have happily only used OpenAIs services. I discovered LLaMa3 70b and Claude follow instructions better than chatGPT and in the end I have not missed ChatGPT.

OpenAI is still holding my money hostage and refuses to unblock my API access. Even after many messages to their support they just don’t care.

From my experience don’t build anything around OpenAI’s api, even if you pay they can revoke your access for nonpayment which is a paradox I never thought I would encounter. Other LLMs are more interesting than the over hyped chatGPT and if you self host you have way more control.

Tl:dr OpenAI is either technically incompetent or borderline fraudulent .
