I've been paying for yt for years. And it was fine for years. Then one day I have a blank home screen with no suggestions on all my tvs and rokus etc, because I have history turned off, and have no subscriptions.

Note, it didn't go blank when I turned off history. History has always been turned off. Only a year or so ago it went blank and nags me to enable history on every device every time.

I partially caved and subscribed to 20 or 30 channels, and still have a blank home. On some interfaces it does show new videos strictly from the subscription list, but nothing else related, and it includes 50% fucking shorts mixed right in, and no way to filter those out.

And of course yt phrases the nag like an error that needs to be fixed, and pre-loading the focus on that button on launch, every time, every device. Now every single time I turn on the tv it's a several click sequence on the roku or tv or google remote to navigate off of that to the subscriptions item half way down the left menu. It's such a slick futuristic life I'm paying for. I wish I could make my money work as shitty for them as this service does for me.

Here is the "value" of paying for youtube:

Try it for macOS specific things and it chokes. It’ll hallucinate commands, send you shit for Linux, or give you stuff that worked 20 years ago. Find is an old, nearly universal command (good luck on any of the other GNU-utils commands that are 15 years newer than the binaries shipped in macOS).

I have not found an LLM that knows any of that.

When I need a find command, I open `man find` and read and learn.
> Europe is a big region

I'm aware, particularly given that I live there.

Post-tax, post-essentials income comparisons are absurdly complicated and always depend on the individual. For example, dual-income families in Germany can tick slightly ahead of similar families in the USA because of how much more expensive it is to raise children in the US and how many (cash and societal) benefits you get from the social support system in Germany. But even this is a can and not will; that will also depend on your specific tax situation, and a whole host of other things. And whether the discrepancies in income levels are balanced out by different standards of living is also something you can really only evaluate on a case-by-case basis, because it's different for every job. For example, the income differential in software engineering is way higher between NA and Europe than it is for, for example, healthcare workers. In my specific case, when I moved from the US to DE, my gross decreased by 2/3 and my post-tax, post-essentials decreased by 1/2 -- and by post-essentials, I'm including things like massively higher rents in the US.

> a lot of European countries welcome skilled migration like Germany

I'm an immigrant to Germany and I would absolutely *not* consider it welcoming to immigration, skilled or otherwise. And given the results of the past few elections here (and elsewhere in Europe), which have been dominated by extremely negative discussions of immigration (with the notable exception of most/all of the Scandinavian countries), I don't really think your comment is painting an accurate picture.

I've never lived in Canada and have no experience with immigration there, so I can't speak to Canadian immigration policy beyond what I've already said -- that the current government is very pro-immigration and has policies in place specifically meant to compete with the US on skilled workers. What I can say though, is that much of what you're saying is very contrary to both my lived experience as an immigrant to Europe, as well as much of my experience with several very close friends who've been through the H1B -> green card lottery in the USA. Also, from an economic perspective, I would neither describe US immigration policy as "smarter", nor "better" than Canada's. And I would absolutely *not* describe it as a "strong procedure".
Extremely small wavelengths can be achieved using beams of electrons in place of beams of photons, as in Scanning Tunneling Microscopes and electron diffraction.

Do you know if there is any thought of developing “electron beam lithography”, where an electron beam would etch the pattern on silicon and not merely be used as a source of secondary photons?

We have 15 people on our team but 90% of people might only log in once a month to have a look at the pipeline - don’t want to either have a shared account or to pay $150/month so we stick to a spreadsheet.

Lots of people on this thread saying you need a full programming language integrated - I’m not so sure HN is fully representative of real end users.
All of what you said is true, but I just want to add a note that I mentioned a support contract with open source developers, not necessarily the authors of the open source software in question.

It's like when a company buys a contract with an enterprise Linux distribution: the entity offering the contract didn't author the full stack (though I'd guess they have at least some kernel contributors on staff) but they can still support it in a way that keeps the compliance department of the buying company happy.

Also, your kitchen knife set example is very relevant because, from personal experience, I know this happens but I also know problems (including accidents) resulting from using a personal knife set aren't attributed to the manufacturer of the knives but instead are treated exactly as if they happened using ones provided by the business that owns the kitchen.
Ask HN: Should foreign remote workers have to get sponsored for H1B visas?
IMO yes. Someone from abroad working in an office domestically would need sponsorship via the visa process as to not take away labor from domestic labor by residing here. Working remotely is still working on the projects that would otherwise be going to domestic laborers.

Since the current administration has rightfully ended non-competes, I think the next move should be to require that all non-citizen employees, contractors or contracted or full-time, to go through the h1b visa process if they are producing American technology outside of the US.

Any American enterprise that wants to continue to access American market profits will need to ensure that the vast majority of their workforce is American, with remote options going to Americans first. This need should be especially obvious for products that have sensitive user data in storage or access to sensitive IP. Otherwise it is a race to the bottom and currency manipulation will just siphon off American IP and the underlying foundation and fabric of STEM jobs in the USA.

This is also tit-for-tat. As an American citizen, it's not exactly as straightforward or possible to get access to remote opportunities from those other countries. This all seems like cleverly structured IP/data theft by using currency manipulation to siphon off access and visibility to the IP/data.

I've worked at a place where all of the critical database deployments and production monitoring of incidents goes through contracted teams from other countries first. They have visibility into the data and a lot of the systems. It's not kosher at all, and those countries in particular don't care about protecting American laws or American IP. Yet they are being given more access by people who do not understand the implications of this IP and data risk, because they only focus on spreadsheets and dollar signs. Enforcing h1b visas for such contractors, be they directly contracted by your company or by a third party that your company contracts, would limit how easy it is to outsource tech labor.

Make it much more expensive to hire cheap laborers abroad. Protect American labor in STEM roles, and in critical ones especially, and American IP and technology and data.
Microsoft possesses, to put it lightly, a number of government contracts. I think this puts them in a bit of a pickle.
> However, all things have bugs.

There are bugs and there are critical flaws you’ve been warned about. This is the latter.

The fact that this was known by Microsoft but not fixed is the story.

> iTerm 3.5.1 removes automatic OpenAI integration, requires opt-in

This is an editorialized title. It was opt-in from the very beginning. Here's all the steps that was originally required:

1. Open settings, go to the General tab, click on the AI button.

2. Enter a paid API key

3. Close the settings

4. Click "Toolbelt" on the menu bar, and click on "Codecierge"

5. Click "Toolbelt" on the menu bar again, and click "Show toolbelt"

6. In the toolbelt, there's a textbox that you can type questions into. The textbox won't be shown if you didn't enter an API key. Only after submitting the question will the OpenAI integration be activated, and as I understand it, only for the current session.

https://github.com/gnachman/iTerm2/blob/a3122c0100d8900a15cb...

The initial implementation already took many many clicks to run. I literally had to do nothing to not use the feature and not once was I reminded about the feature after I chose to ignore it.

Despite that, people were spreading rumors that entering an invalid API key would instantly cause iTerm to send all data to OpenAI. It's a straight up lie started by people who actually tested the feature and posted their findings on the GitLab thread about this feature.

Some of the things you see online... I have no words.
Nanocrystalline cellulose (NCC) could be a great constituent component of a composite material. Not only would it burn, but anything that doesn't burn and makes it to the surface is biodegradable; there's lots of stuff that eats cellulose. NCC can be formed into highly strong and rigid structural pieces, or combined with carbon fiber, fiberglass, hemp, or other fibers to create ultra strong and durable composite material.

high mechanical strength, with a tensile modulus of approximately 150 GPa and a modulus of elasticity ranging from 18 to 50 GPa. CNCs also exhibit excellent thermal stability, undergoing gradual thermal transitions and decomposition between 150 °C and 600 °C
Safety critical projects use a variety of techniques to ensure that things don’t go wrong, and if they do go wrong anyway, that the root cause can be traced so that it will not happen again.

Most safety critical projects today are written in C and C++, which have very little compile time checks for safety.

I very much preferred the state of things a decade ago when it was just Steam

Ok, but Steam is a third party store. The alternative isn't "just Steam", it's "just Microsoft". I'll gladly accept the occasional annoyance of multiple stores to avoid being locked into a monopoly.
How much could it possibly cost? As a young, healthy American, I currently pay over $10,000/year (about half of which is forcefully taken not even counting Medicaid/Medicare) for a plan with a $7,000 deductible. In other words, I get zero benefit other than an annual checkup unless I have something catastrophic happen. This was by far both the cheapest plan and best plan available for every situation for me.

Google says the average Canadian pays, including taxes, about half of what I do. Do you just not get any coverage at all?

Removing reliance on oil for the creation of those plastics already sounds like a huge leap forward.

Not as good as finding an alternative to plastics all together, but certainly cutting down on drilling and dependence on oil countries. Who knows, maybe once BigOil is out of the picture, policy and solutions to microplastics would be more feasible.
Yes. You need to have national unity, pride, and not be entirely selfish in order to have more engagement and participation in higher education and therefore in R&D. You need to be in a position in which you can inspire your citizens that there is a better life for them by engaging in that R&D and morale improving projects, but that attitude also needs to be seen on the streets, not just on TV.

India has some parts of the population in which that exists, but that's far from a large part of the population. Most people are very self interested, and you cannot blame them. People think of themselves. Why do you think there is a brain drain? People are educated at the government's expense at premier institutions and leave because they don't feel any sense of allegiance or civil responsibility to develop their country.

My math teach told me that during the Cold War, in the United States, the math that they learned was harder than it was now. It was your duty to become a scientist or engineer or something positive to push your country forward. That should be how it is for India, but aside from a smaller segment of the population (who are pretty loud and say some interesting things) people are more self interested. And you can't blame them. If your cousin moved to the United States and seems to be "living the life" why wouldn't you leave?

So a whole generation of scientists and engineers who were top notch educated at IIT at the government's expense under socialist India in the 80s basically left in the 90s and 00s because of more money, even though there were possibilities in India for them at the time (HP and IBM India, CDAC, CDOT, DRDO, ISRO, HAL, etc)

It's nowhere near bad enough for someone to lose their job.

The only impact was that outsiders panicked for a bit and corrections had to be issued. In exchange, people gained an awareness of the behind-the-scenes work being done to ensure the station crew's safety.

Instead, they'll probably work on updating their procedures, both to ensure that this kind of error doesn't happen again, but also the baseline safety procedures taking into account public panic.

I encourage people to read the court-filings in any case if they're interested in the case.

But I'd also caution people new to this that lawyers are extremely good at making their case seem obviously right even when it isn't. If you're not nodding along going "that seems right" when you read the argument in a complaint the lawyers either have a really bad case, or they screwed up (or in rare cases they're making technical arguments that they think will seem right to the judge even if they don't seem right to lay people). It's better to wait for a chance to read the response from the other side before agreeing that the side you are reading is right.

And you know what? Even some of the Indian companies at the time were super good.

Looking for a job with 20 years of experience is not like looking for a job with 2 years experience.

You want to be paid like you have 20 years. The experience should make you worth that. That is, you should be more productive than someone with 2 years of experience.

But not every company understands that. And even, of the companies that do understand, not every one of them needs that. Some just need a junior that they can plug in.

And, of the ones that are looking for someone of your level, most of them understand that this is a hire that is somewhat more important to get right.

The net result is that this is a slower process than it was for you 20 years ago. You need to adjust your expectations. But jobs are still there - they just take longer to find.

As per usual, executive platitudes around "security first" don't matter.

If you pay and promote people for features, and don't reward security culture, people are not dumb: they and the management layers will optimize for that.

If the policy was the opposite you could also argue that. Its basically a fundamental problem of government, whatever the outcome.

The cost of the structure of a modern wood house is a tiny fraction of the overall cost. Most of the construction cost is in the wiring, plumbing, bathroom & kitchen fixtures, windows, flooring, etc. 3D printing doesn't help with any of that. In fact, wiring and plumbing is harder than in a wood-framed building, where you can drill holes in a few seconds.

Also, aesthetic zoning rules are super-conservative. You can't build an unusual looking house in most cities.
> It's an essential service that the free market has largely stopped providing ...

I think you're misinterpreting the situation.

What we're actually seeing in this industry (and most others) is that the various levels of government in Canada have collectively imposed so much artificial overhead and interference on businesses that it has become nearly impossible for the free market to function.

Some of this is directly imposed, in the form of high taxation, unnecessary regulation, pointless bureaucracy, and so forth.

A lot of it, though, is indirect. For example, the high price of real estate (solely caused by the governments' flawed immigration and property development policies) imposes significant, but less-obvious, overhead on businesses. Buying or leasing office/retail/workshop/warehouse/etc. space has become prohibitive in many cases. Entrepreneurs and business owners are forced to direct more resources toward their own personal housing, instead of their businesses. Prospective employees can't move as easily. Entrepreneurs can't take as much risk as they otherwise could.

Even well-established businesses have been finding it more and more difficult to feasibly operate in Canada.

There are many private entrepreneurs and private businesses in Canada who are more than willing to providing local news coverage. Thanks solely to government, however, it's just not feasible for them to do so, so they don't.
