> Only add salt when cooking —- if at all. And then less than you think you need. Herbs add flavours that can replace salt, and you can learn that by not buying salt for a while.

Unless you have salt-dependent hypertension (and most people, even those with hypertension, do not), there is very little to be gained from leaving salt out. Things should not taste salty, necessarily, but salt improves the flavor of just about everything. Buy a tube of frozen creamed corn and it tastes like paste. Add salt and it's sweet. The caloric content has not changed; your taste perception has.

When recipes state "season to taste", they're telling you to put salt in. No amount of herbs can replace salt. Small amounts of salt will take the burned flavor away from bad coffee (it mitigates your perception of bitter flavors to make them more pleasant-bitter rather than bitter-bitter). Your natural thirst mechanisms will deal with the rest.
Apple Debuts VisionOS 2
Cool, but it's still not the norm, that's my point. It was the most popular show at the time so regardless of what the intricacies of the backstory were, people got the impression that was normal. "This must be what it's like for the avg 20 something in New York." Almost every show does this. No one wants to watch a show about someone struggling to get by in a shithole. It's just how TV works. You see only the nice stuff with people thriving. The fat dumb husband with a hot wife is another unrealistic trope.

> As a product, Screen was wildly successful (granted, it helps to not be charging anything).

As early as 2015, I just screenshotted the questions from TripleByte and gave them to people to take.

> The one where companies came to us (particularly post-pivot) to hire the candidates (senior engineers in the US, especially ones from top schools or with FAANG-like experience) that are hardest to acquire? Well, it turns out that companies also don't feel much need to pre-screen such candidates and want to avoid putting barriers (like, say, an online quiz) in their way.

I used my ad-hoc TripleByte screen on a lot of top schools, Harvard & MIT students.

Using the quizzes revealed to me that the average MIT or Harvard CS student was like 4 years ahead of knowledge in same-class Berkeley student. Way, way bigger than I ever expected.

This is the real reason the Screen product failed and recruiting is hard: programming skills are not normally distributed, they are exponentially distributed. If you didn't believe in the 10x engineer, you better start believing now.

If you had worked as a recruiter, you'd know the most successful ones do not "just" source better candidates, which you have been belaboring is impossible for a while. They either have tremendous volume, or they are worm-tongued with hiring managers: while skills are exponentially distributed, an average CTO can be persuaded by a very basic, LA Central Casting-level of charisma and good looks.
>Minimum wage hasn’t kept up with inflation in decades

1. I doubt the employees in question were being paid anywhere near minimum wage, so I don't see how this is relevant

2. That just moves the question around. If the minimum wage was adjusted for inflation, does it make it magically not exploitative? What makes the original minimum wage not exploitative?

>and continue to lobby Congress (at a state and federal level) for favorable laws to protect them. If that’s not collusion in spirit, I don’t know what is.

You're going to have to be more specific here. Not all lobbying is "collusion in spirit" (whatever that means). For instance arguing to weakening environmental regulations might not be great, but it's not exactly "collusion" either.

every package in the monorepo did indeed need to use the same exact version of python. the python interpreter itself is part of the monorepo, and all other python code builds and runs that binary.

the python team did not personally upgrade every line of code to work with a new python version, we made sure that the code could be upgraded and got the people maintaining each package to do the upgrade. (a missing piece of the puzzle is that every package, even mirrored third party code, has an official owner responsible for keeping it working within google).

what the python team needed to do was upgrade all the tooling (build system, linter, type checker, etc) to work with the new version, run large scale tests to see what would break in an upgrade, analyse the dependency graph to figure out what order packages needed to be fixed in (e.g. if numpy needed to be upgraded that would be super high priority because thousands of other packages depend on it, and we might even pitch in and help the team maintaining it with that if needed), and track the progress of the upgrades, communicating with teams whose code hadn't been upgraded so that they could prioritise the work.

sometimes we also needed to write automated refactorings to fix some basic code pattern that changed, e.g. if some very widely used library decided it was going to stop accepting numbers where it needed strings, and that the caller should do the conversion first, we would try to mechanically fix that across the codebase rather than make everyone do it themselves.

anyway, this is all to say that it was indeed a large and time consuming problem, and we were certainly not doing it because we had nothing better to do with our time.
This has nothing to do with Apple's app store guidelines.
We did, at least in most cases.

At the time, I was working directly with the "live" batches of candidates. We generally considered it a failing on our part if we couldn't get them at least one connection with a company; the typical average (if I'm remembering right) was around 4-5, of which 2-3 would result in an interview. Something like that.

You're not required to use it for federal filing either though, so that's missing the point.

The scary part is that sci hub is in danger!

It's been under massive legal attack in a few jurisdictions, and as far as I know, has stopped scraping.

Many, many papers from after 2021 that are not available. It has become a major issue, cutting me off at times from new results important to my work or study.

It's kind of a scary time now, and I feel the strong need to regroup and find a way to get sci-hub back to scraping.

We have to imagine there are millions of people being cut off from millions of people-years of research for every year this embargo continues. It's crucial that we bring it back up!

Anyhow, thanks for being a sci-hub user and endorser! I love it when my peers in academia use it!

Wait are you also against paying for tickets for NJ Transit trains to NYC? In theory an NJ Transit ticket is "paying to be allowed to go somewhere". It's exactly analogous - it costs money to keep the trains going, just like it costs money to keep the tunnels going (and to pay for their original construction with bonds, though maybe that's not relevant today).

You're not paying for permission to go somewhere; you're paying for all the stuff that needs to happen to make your journey possible in the first place.

> I don't think it has any benefit for them to explain why.

It clearly has. There are lots of hackers and security researchers who will make very different decisions depending on if they expect Apple will honor their bounties. Traditionally, people who report security bugs have been treated poorly, and arbitrary rejections certainly helps move the incentives towards the exploit market instead.

> being used in ways that would seem idiosyncratic

The argument is not that these words are being misused or abused. They're comparing the frequency on the web in general versus the frequency in GPT output, which is not useful or illuminating. For all those words, including delve, the usage is completely cromulent and grammatically correct, but someone needed to spin it into some egregious exploitation.

> an overwhelming effect

Delve was on an upswing for years. Again, it takes just one popular paper to use the phrase "delve into the results" and an army of new papers are going to use the same phrase because we're all stochastic parrots to some degree. Just as Attention Is All You Need has massively influenced countless subsequent papers.

Again, there is zero evidence that ChatGPT even overuses "delve". The guy's evidence that GPTs overuse delve is that it used it a few times and he thinks that's overuse. Okay. Similarly, the evidence that Kenya and/or Nigeria use delve more is just...well it just works with the whole tepid argument okay?

> "delve" being used frequently in countries where the model was trained

The model was trained on TBs of internet data. A small amount of, essentially, "tone" training is done via RLHF, but that wouldn't suddenly make local dialect surface.
Oh awesome, thank you for suggesting this. Will swap out AutoFocus for AutoRaise.
> In GCC, inline assembly has insane syntax. Probably on purpose, to discourage writing it.

No, it's primarily for portability and flexibility. Other languages have "inline assembly" that is really a separate 8086 assembler built into the C compiler. And that's good for some things (accessing values in the surrounding C code via natural expressions) and bad for others.

In particular, a gcc asm() block can do anything the underlying assembler can, and the gcc "constraint" syntax is designed to express the idea of "what rules must the compiler follow to generate code around this asm block".

Want to expand your asm block as a big string using preprocessor macrobatics? It's just a string, you can do that.

Want to write a macro that expands into a runtime constant that you want to link into a special section? No problem.

Want to call a function in a special ABI that is going to clobber a specific set of registers and need to tell the compiler about it? The gcc syntax has a constraint for that.

Basically, "inline assembly" in DOS tools was... fine. It handled the case of "1980's Compilers Suck and I Want to Hand-Optimize This Code". And that's fine. But that's not why people write assembly in the modern world, and gcc has a much broader reach.

The post gets into _so much_ depth around what the company did that worked and didn't work and why it failed as a business. Your comment is about why you personally, one of >250k people who used the service as a candidate, didn't overwhelmingly approve of the product (and, it sounds like you may have still used it...). Do you really hold your own opinion in such high regard that you think it is more privileged than the opinion of TripleByte's head of product giving a painfully honest post-mortem? Your opinion is your opinion but it is just a piece of all-too-late product feedback - this post has so much more to offer than that, it's really strange to me that you'd lead this with "Triplebyte failed because:", implying that the author is wrong and you're right...

You are pointing to the risk that rogue engineers deluded themselves thinking that past technologies were not "that" devastating. That would be an error on more sides: not only you have not died by fall until the ground so past trend does not determine the future, but also, some past technologies /have/ been devastating.

Still, it is pretty uncommon in general to develop a «highly contagious bio-weapon»: when it happens - and it happens - the destructive context is clear. But there are also very many cases in which the productive or destructive adoption of an otherwise neutral technology is critical.

In my humble opinion, the best approach depends on your specific circumstances, the employee's willingness to learn, and your company's culture. It's a complex situation, but with open communication, a commitment to support, and a clear plan, you may be able to salvage the situation and help this employee develop into a valuable asset for your team.

It's your money, I think it's reasonable to see what it is being withheld for. These days with most payroll being direct deposited I don't think many people look at their pay stubs anymore anyway. At least I know I don't; maybe I would if I were paid by the hour, just to verify that all the hours were counted.

I'm just saying, if anyone wanted to keep taxes "painful" they would not have implemented withholding in the first place. It's more painful to have to pay "out of pocket" than to have the money taken before you ever see it.
I love to hear pitches on a company product and just blurt out "Where is the AI?" or "What's your AI strategy?" just so they can take it back to their teams and spend loads of $$$ developing some useless AI feature no one really wants.

No, the number is made up and the facts don’t matter so the statement can easily be reimagined as an ad lib.

Try these: social media, the Internet, the large hadron collider, Starlink, Neuralink, iPhones, iDrones, quantum computers, regular computers, the 2038 bug, the Y2K bug, electric cars, gasoline cars, the great firewall of China, the not so great firewalls of asbestos, mRNA technology, gain of function research, nuclear bombs, nuclear energy, paper clip manufacturers, scissors.

> He was mindbogglingly wrong

How do you know?

Studies already suggest that 9 out of 10 people prefer text communication with businesses. Of the remaining 10%, we have to establish that they:

1. Prefer the phone over other alternatives. Some may want face-to-face communication, for example.

2. Want to phone a utility in the first place. Preferring phone communication over other means does not imply that they want to communicate.

3. That the person of which you speak knows of them. Someone who really does want to phone a utility, but is not known by said person, would not meet the qualifications defined.

Unless you actually compiled a list of those he knows and surveyed them in a good faith standing, you can't know. The statistics are not in your favour, though. It is quite unlikely that he does know someone who wants to make a phone call to said utility. Perhaps your weird nerdiness has clouded seeing that?
Good luck, hoping the best for you.

ADHD is no joke, it can be extremely debilitating. I was force-fed medication throughout my childhood and couldn't stand the physical side effects, which opened the door for several abuse-related traumas.

Now that I'm approaching 30, I am considering getting back on medication. For the last 15 years, I've relied solely on caffeine and weed to medicate which is great for what it is, but just not enough, and sometimes counteractive to my goals.
My understanding was that Netflix liked FreeBSD for a few reasons, some of them more historical than others.
