That's unfortunate.

I've been with my current employer for 18 months. I was a referral and the person who referred me got a $15,000 bonus. I've since referred 2 people. I've gotten one bonus so far and the other should be here in ~3 months. 3 of the 5 companies I've worked for in ~20 in this industry came through my network. Anecdotes but it's worked fine for me.
It is so cool that eggdrop is still in development. Basically how I first learned programming (plus mIRC scripting!)
Went searching for the "various reasons". Found this:

> Falcon Heavy rocket, having three launches under its belt, has proven more powerful than originally anticipated. Previously, it was thought that launching Europa Clipper on a Falcon Heavy would require a “kick” stage — essentially a small booster attached to the top of the rocket. The Falcon Heavy’s impressive performance has made that unnecessary. Moreover, mission designers at Jet Propulsion Laboratory have found a path to Jupiter called a MEGA trajectory: after launch on a Falcon Heavy, Europa Clipper would fly to Mars for a gravity assist, and then return to Earth for another, and then on to the Jovian system. (The mission previously believed that the rocket would necessitate a Venus gravity assist, which would require special thermal protection for the spacecraft.)

> The window for a MEGA launch opens in 2024 and would take only three years longer than an SLS flight. A Falcon Heavy expendable launch is about $150 million. A single SLS launch is now estimated to cost $2 billion.

It is a thing of beauty.

There’s nothing quite like seeing an aggressive blowhard bullshitter get a proper telling off.
Well, Nvidia seems to be claiming in the article that this is everything, not just graphics drivers: "NVIDIA GPUs share a common driver architecture and capability set. The same driver for your desktop or laptop runs the world’s most advanced AI workloads in the cloud. It’s been incredibly important to us that we get it just right."

And For cutting-edge platforms such as NVIDIA Grace Hopper or NVIDIA Blackwell, you must use the open-source GPU kernel modules. The proprietary drivers are unsupported on these platforms. (These are two most advanced NVIDIA architectures currently)
Panning isn’t done for the archeology. It’s done for the gold.
> So now everyone just expects short retentions

But again, this expectation was driven by the market forces - employees in very high demand. If it is actually harder to get a job / easier to get an experienced dev, then juniors won't be job hopping quickly because they won't have another job to hop to.
They need to filter out possible malicious actors so a downvote alone wouldn't cause the question to be disregarded... but still, whenever you see that, cast your vote!

Also, a comment is the most powerful tool you have. I've benefited multiple times from kind souls that added a comment in an incorrect answer, to the tone of "as of 2024 this is a bad solution and it's much better to do as told here [link...]". So try to add a comment too if you spot bad answers, please :-)
> To illustrate the point, it has also been shown that vitamin C increases tumor growth in rats and mice, but does not seem to have tumor growth effects in humans.

Worth noting that regular (non-GMO) mice can synthesize their own vitamin-C without needing it "pre-made" in their diet, unlike [clarification-edit: some but not all] primates (i.e. humans) and sporadic clusters of animals.

In other words, there are already some pretty important differences between how the two species process normal amounts of that nutrient.

One of the more insidious drawbacks of OOP: The tight coupling introduced by inheritance.
These cheap mini PC look nice on paper, but I have bad experience with them. They tend to break after a while. They got shut down due to overheat; their small form factor make ventilation difficult. BIOS was set to overclocking by default. BIOS settings got magically reverted back to default. Everything makes it look good on paper on benchmarks but bad for consumers.

OTOH, I got good experience with the Intel NUC boxes. Got good experience with HP and Dell's slim PCs, which have slightly bigger form factors and are good for heat dissipation.
There appears to be a coherent effort among the general populace , conscious or unconscious, to shape discourse going forward to look more ChatGPT style in general. Words like “delve”, “crucial” etc have become more common even among real people in face to face communication and in record time.

Much as I find it overly formal, I support it on the grounds that it frustrates attempts to “detect” if LLMs are used and that is very good.
Many reasons. The main ones me, it's because I can chose a client that fits my needs among the many mature clients. And it's very configurable, as well as scriptable (though I haven't needed scripts for a while).

Most clients store the history locally in plain text files, which makes them easy and fast to search in with grep.

> is it encrypted?

The short answer is no. Many clients support E2EE using an OTR (https://otr.cypherpunks.ca/) plugin but it's not very user-friendly and your recipient is unlikely to have such a plugin already installed

Reading through the writer's notes. I don't disagree that there is a chasm between large successful firms and small firms over the last 15 years. The 2000 to 2010 period had nearly the opposite behavior however where startups were the successful area to join, rather than established firms such as IBM/HP etc.

The notes on the job interview process are more suspect however, the examples of performance fixes that the author published are mostly focused on systems engineering. Having started my career in this space, I can say that I've seen a noticable move away from systems engineers as a distinct profession over the last ~10 years. Better cloud systems enable standard SDEs to carry the pager and not lose (as much) sleep. Better tooling and knowledge has likewise equipped standard SDEs to build out their cloud infra without an additional systems person in the middle. Bias against individuals being hired with these skills also tends to mean that systems focused engineers transitioning to SDE have a harder time.
I was going to ask why people don't like IRC. As someone else commented it gets the job done, but while I know there are better things on the market now I don't really know why e.g. Matrix is practically superior.
It’s also pretty reasonable to respect the GPL when you financially benefit from it, yet here we are.
I think that the issue with emojis is that they're a kind of slang. Because of that, what they mean, exactly, is very dependent on the social circle they exist in.

When my friends use emojis, I know what they mean because I know them and the in-group slang we use. When a stranger or acquaintance uses emojis, the only way to know what they're trying to say is through context clues, like with any other unfamiliar slang.

So if someone I don't know well is using emojis, I just ignore the ones whose meaning aren't obvious given the context. If I think they're trying to say something important, I'll ask outright what they meant (and then get an understanding of how they use emojis and so are better able to understand them in the future.)
It depends on the CPU, the load, and the selected case option. The CPU will throttle when the load gets too high. They are using mobile/low-power CPUs. It’s generally fine if you don’t plan to have long-running heavy all-core loads. There is really no alternative to such cooling-fin cases in order to have a 100% silent PC.

For more processing power, a large case with quiet fans (e.g. Noctua) and a massive CPU cooler is the way to go, but isn’t completely silent (depending on load and environment noise level), and you’ll have to build it yourself.
This is not "the reality in Europe", it's a singular anecdote with one bad terminal/card/bank/network.

Do you have a credible source on that? According to the same book:

> The safety of aspartame (a commonly vilified sweetener) is asserted by the independent medical governing bodies of more than 90 countries. It has almost unanimous approval for safety by the top medical and drug safety councils in the world. The FDA has pronounced that aspartame is “one of the most thoroughly tested and studied food additives the agency has ever approved.” The story is much the same for all other major artificial sweeteners, including sucralose, acesulfame potassium, and saccharin. A large amount of calorie-free sweetener can be consumed before an even mild health risk.
Base64 encoded MP3s? That's just ridiculous. All you get by base64 encoding them is 33% more data used.
Yes. That would of course be included in the problem statement
So there's regulation. Until I read this I had assumed the bank branch was helpfully breaking the law by refusing to release customer funds. Do you know what's the law that forces (or allows) banks to do this?
I haven't decided how I feel about behavioral interviews. I always pass them, but it feels like I'm telling the interviewer what they want to hear. I don't lie, but I certainly cherry-pick examples that make me look good and present an analysis that makes me seem more emotionally intelligent than I probably was in the moment.

My assumption is that everyone does this, and the interview is largely a test to determine if you even know what a "good" answer would sound like. The assignment is to describe how you think an emotionally intelligent and mature person would act, and if you don't even know what that looks like then there's no way they're hiring you.

If you say "I repeatedly managed to singlehandedly save the day despite being surrounded by idiots" then you've done them a huge favor of letting them know you're a pain in the ass to work with. I would assume that most people know better than to admit to an interviewer that this is how they think, but I don't conduct these interviews so I'm not sure.
Sometimes I even notice when you go into comment sections trying to say that certain techniques are not best practices, people call you elitist, say you're making nothing more than appeals to authority, and say there's nothing wrong with (whatever equivalent of) NSCopyObject, so get off your high horse.

Show HN: Quikk AI – a faster alternative to great sales research
Hi HN community, I'm Ash, and I'm excited to share Quikk AI, a sales research tool designed to help salespeople conduct lightning-fast research when prospecting potential customers and using that research to craft a first email or meeting agenda.

The link takes you to a live demo page that simulates Hubspot selling to potential customers. Try it out yourself!

Here's some info about Quikk AI:

Problem:
In today's fast-paced sales environment, time is of the essence. Sales professionals often spend hours sifting through various sources like LinkedIn, ZoomInfo, company websites, and more to gather information about potential customers to qualify them. This process is not only time-consuming but also inefficient, often leading to lost opportunities and lesser commissions.

Solution:
We're aiming to simplify and accelerate the research process while maintaining quality. With a few inputs, we use a seller's company background and a prospect's company info to consolidate relevant sales information into a single, easy-to-digest format. Our tool automatically generates notes and formats them into popular sales templates and outputs.

Key Features:
One-Click Research: Get tailored, effective research outputs in a few seconds.
Automated Notes: Receive pre-formatted notes that can be copied to your CRM or emails.

Future Features:
Integrations to CRMs, email services, sales tools, etc. to reduce typing and copy/paste of outputs.

Our Journey:
Quikk AI was born out of the frustration with traditional sales research methods. There were plenty of tools to find prospects and automate emails, but few good ones to actually qualify prospects using research. After months of development and testing, we launched a private beta with a select group of users, receiving valuable feedback that shaped our product. Today, we’re excited to open Quikk AI to the HN community and invite you to try it in the link in the post.

We believe Quikk AI can revolutionize the way salespeople approach prospecting, making it faster, smarter, and more efficient. We’d love to hear your thoughts and feedback as we continue to improve and evolve our tool.

Thank you for checking out Quikk AI!

I replied to you in a different thread, I don't think calling our companies "deceptive" will help you or me get anywhere. While I agree with you that detection will never be hermetic, I don't think this is the goal. By design you'll have hallucinations and the question should be how can you monitor the rate and look for changes and anomalies.
You can tell custom elements what they are using the „is“ attribute or by extending the appropriate HTMLElement class if you define the custom element via JS.
> for example just now I wanted to wrangle some bits so I asked it to make the masks for me.

Why do you think it will get that right? You have to do the work anyway to verify those are correct, that is exactly the kind of thing you shouldn't use an LLM for.
Yeah you can get a refurbished Dell Optiplex for about $100 w/ keyboard, mouse, and wifi adapter, and should have a passmark score of around 6k (for reference the i7 in thinkpad x1 carbons from 2018 has a passmark score of 8k). I got one of these setup for an event organizer that wanted to drive three displays w/ timing software on a budget.
But maximizing shareholder value isn't about "just getting by" it's about optimizing the mix of labor, management and assets to the point that paying to increase any of those variables is break-even. In that case, "AI makes engineers more productive" should lead to more hiring not layoffs.

My suspicion is that the reality is that interest rates are having the intended effect of curbing demand and rather than admit you need to layoff people to match weak demand (and expensive capital), you can tell shareholders a story about AI that doesn't cause them to panic.

This is taken to an extreme in Larry Niven's "known space" setting. There's a bunch of interesting stuff I won't mention because spoilers, but imagine a very-humanoid race where the adults are not intelligent, but later they lose the ability to reproduce and gain hyper-intelligence, strength, and a ruthless drive to protect and advance their descendants.
As much as I like IRC, it's usually missing some basic features everyone expects: history while offline, file uploads, inline images. Of course you can use a server like Ergo or self-host/rent a bouncer or client like The Lounge, but that's not an option for everyone. That's why so many people used Matrix as a free bouncer to join freenode/Libera.Chat back when that was an option
If it isn't tested for, implementing mitigations is a matter of argument instead of data motivated.
This is foolish. Anyone can have a bad day, including the clairvoyant HR. Don't build an interview panel around pleasing "that one gal"; that kind of situation happens enough by accident.

The imperative to defend Taiwan is a half-century old commitment; breaking it would mean repealing the Taiwan Relations Act

How so? The TRA does not compel the U.S. to "defend" Taiwan in the event of an invasion. In fact it was specifically worded to avoid providing security guarantees as such. Only to provide "arms of a defensive character" and the like. So what you're saying about repealing the TRA in such a scenario is plainly incorrect.

You're also clearly hyperbolizing in regard to Ukraine, but we'll leave that aside for now.
I imagine it tastes like the real thing the same way Impossible beef does.

It doesn't.

I'm skeptical until a wider audience tries it.
Have you asked any of them how much "easier" it is, or are you assuming? I'm guessing you're assuming.
it's dead simple early 90s text based protocol, and the servers have a remarkably lightweight footprint. simplicity also means you don't get the modern niceties like built-in media embeds or reactions (things that I really love from discord and matrix). but its simplicity also means it's easy to integrate (client, server, bot). I think it's perfect for 10-50 person channels, anything more it gets a bit too noisy to be useful or carry normal conversations.
I use Google Messages. I assumed that was what you were using too. Messages settings - RCS chats - Send read receipts and Show typing indicators.
Whatever pop_os uses has been quite stable for my 4070.
It’s some effort but I bet they added a classical serial CPU to run the existing code. In fact, [1] suggests that’s exactly what they did. I suspect they had other reasons to add the GSP so the amortized cost of moving the driver code to firmware was actually not that large all things considered and in the long term reduces their costs (eg they reduce the burden further of supporting multiple OSes, they can improve performance further theoretically, etc etc)

That was acceptable back then, but now people expect E2EE to work out of the box.
IRC is primarily used for "public forum"-type chats, so the lack of encryption isn't particularly troubling. You can use SSL to protect the immediate connection, though (much like posting on HN).
Imagine the utility of discord or slack, except not locked into someone's for-profit walled garden/data farm.

Two things to keep in mind: Pre-internet, it was quite easy to be skilled and knowledgeable and yet never have been exposed to something another community somewhere would consider basic, or for it to take many many years to percolate across. I remember getting into programming even in the 1990s and I can tell you a lot of the C world would still consider associative data structures like a hash table something to be a bit exotic and only to be pulled out if you had no other choice. It was very easy to not be very up to date on these things.

Second, while the programming world fancies itself a very fast mover, it really isn't, and it especially wasn't back then. 20 years isn't necessarily as long as you would think in 2024. We're still trying to convince people in 2024 that you really don't need a language that will happily index outside of arrays, and how long has that been a staple in existing languages? (You may think that's silly, but we've had that fight on HN, yes, yea verily, this very year. Granted, this is winding down, but it's still a live argument.)

There's a lot of things that showed up in some language in the 1960s or 1970s and wasn't widely adopted for another few decades.

(Though I suspect one problem with Lisp is that back in the day, its performance was pretty awful relative to the other things of the day. It was not always the best advertisement for its features. A bit too ahead of its time sometimes.)
the missing built-in media embeds and reactions are a feature, in my opinion.

The internet needs a light weight chat protocol.
