It largely doesn't depend on him, but the 174 fix itself has bipartisan support. But so far they've been unable to craft a whole tax bill that will pass the Senate, because of other disagreements, and now Sen. Crapo is holding the bill because he thinks they'll be able to get a bill they like better next year (though they're talking about making the 174 changes retroactive to 2021).

Interest rates will almost certainly get lower in the next term, regardless of who's in the White House.

This is poorly worded. Detecting "hallucinations" as the term is commonly used, as in a model making up answers not actually in its source text, or answers that are generally untrue, is fundamentally impossible. Verifying the truth of a statement requires empirical investigation. It isn't a feature of language itself. This is just the basic analytic/synthetic distinction identified by Kant centuries ago. It's why we have science in the first place and don't generate new knowledge by reading and learning to make convincing sounding arguments.

Your far more scaled-down claim, however, that you can detect answers that don't address a prompt at all, or make claims when summarizing known other text that isn't actually in the original text, is definitely doable, but raises a maybe naive or stupid question. If you can do this, why not sell an LLM that simply doesn't do these stupid things in the first place? Or why do the people currently selling LLMs not just automatically detect obvious errors and not make them? Doesn't your business as constituted depend upon LLM vendors never figuring out how to do this themselves?
No one does 4-5 hours in one go for me it would be impossible to interview 3-5 candidates that way.

It is more like 1 hour a week in 2-3 weeks and then 1-2 hours for take home.

After each step you can get a no - but you definitely get yes/no answer in those 3 weeks from me and I try to say no as soon as possible not to waste people time.
This seems like a rather large claim that would benefit from some kind of supporting argument.

Maybe the foundation of any real change to a better world is justice (climatic, energetic, economic, social..) at any scale we reason (local, state, continent, entire world), i this the world is run out of simply justice.
So why reasoning at the planetary level can be better, if at state and regional scale so much justice was missing? One big problem, maybe the biggest, imho, is: there are rules and laws, but simply these are breaked, not followed, ignored. we can build even a planetary governance, but why this will work, if all other are not?
Maybe the problem source is not about the form of the state/nation/government but in the mind/culture/habits...

From my experience, they have zero _interest_ in mentoring or training.
For C++, there are ways other than professionally to get experience. Despite the hate it gets here, there are examples of large, solid C++ codebases to peruse and learn from.
Taking the initiative to learn a language prior to a phone screen or interview goes a long way.

> Linux will most likely beat macOS in performance on the same hardware

Not exactly, because since M series was introduced we only have Asahi, developed by reversing engineering Apple Silicon processors instead of using drivers of macOS that were developed by Apple for the hardware that they know how works.

Apple Silicon processors have efficiency and performance cores, macOS scheduler was made to manage it. I don't know if Asahi handles them as different cores.

But I must say, Asahi team is doing a great job.

Eh, whether or not you understand the sympathetic nervous system, it still times out in 20 minutes-ish.

Ask HN: Will you help create a void-filler for the defunct hnbadges.netlify.app?
HN Badges was a website which displayed interesting stats and achievements for each subscribed HN account.

It's been defunct for a few months now. This makes me sad.

Here is an example of what it looked like for the patio11 account:

https://web.archive.org/web/20230729084624/https://hnbadges.netlify.app/?user=pg

Is there an existing effort to develop an alternative? It could probably be a simple python app + SQLite or Postgres DB + slow scraper backend. If there isn't one, maybe I'll start something.

It would be great if the thing is open-source so it can't be killed randomly like what's happened with hnbadges.netlify.

Uh, maybe. Less likely to than just reading comments for sure.

But for example this thread is on such a tangent (and it could be a hell of a lot less) that TFA is completely irrelevant to what I would comment or how it would be received, so yes I might; almost certainly have on several occasions (over years and wouldn't-like-to-think-many comments).
It's hard to over-emphasize how important having a quiet, dedicated, private working space is to making WFH enjoyable. I am fortunate enough to have a separate out-building on my property for my WFH office. The building contains the actual (10'x8') air-conditioned, heated office, plus a bathroom, and a partial kitchen (coffee maker and refrigerator). This setup is far superior to any traditional office I've ever worked in. There's just no comparison.

I think a lot of people who "hated WFH" had to do it out of necessity during a global pandemic, in the middle of their living room or bedroom that they shared with family or roommates. Big difference.

That's what they're charging to collect it at the end, not necessarily what the actual value is, although the value is low enough that they just collect all their scraps once or twice a year and sell them in a lot instead of messing with each individual piece per client otherwise.

Your risk tolerance changes. If you are living on $4000/month and have $500 to invest, you may as well bet those $500 on black. If you have a sizable investment that you hope will pay for your retirement you might want to go for the solid 10% yoy. Similarly if you manage other people's money they might be unhappy with you making 50/50 bets with that money.

It's the same logic that causes people to buy lottery tickets. Winning big in the lottery is unlikely, but getting rich by saving two lottery tickets worth of money each month is impossible. The risky strategy with the worse expected outcome is the only one that leads to your goal.
Exactly, and you can also look at the interview as time for you to vibe check the company.

Even in a purely coding interview, I find there’s a noticeable difference in demeanour between interviewers who will probably be empathetic and good people to work with, and people who won’t. And if most of the interviewers fail that vibe check, the job probably wasn’t right for you.

I can see how lengthy interview processes are annoying if you’re applying for loads of jobs, but honestly 4-5 hours doesn’t seem unreasonable and I’d actually be a bit concerned about any company that was willing to hire me with substantially less time to see if I was a good fit.

> If you find out your kid is trans there is a much lower chance they pass on your genes, could it be natural for the relationship to be more likely to break down after that?

While we know transexuality—people having gender identities or conforming to gender norms other than those corresponding to their assigned sex—is preserved across millennia and disparate cultures [1], it’s unclear if it generalises beyond humans [2].

We do, however, see homosexuality across both time and cultures in humans and in animals [3]. That preservation strongly implies evolutionary benefits, whether as a side effect or—more likely, given its strong presentation in social animals—group selection.

So no, I don’t think there is evolutionary pressure for parents to reject trans (or gay) kids. Especially when they’re in a resource rich state.

2. we are now working in a new line that will have larger sensors, better low-light capabilities, better audio (2-way). We will publish more in Q4.

3. we've been working with professional installers primarily focusing on SMB, so our current 4MP (2.8mm and 4.0mm) cameras can be in $100-200 range depending on volume. 2MP cameras are sold in $80-130 range. With SMB, price hasn't been an issue. I understand this is not particularly useful for DIY, we're just preparing to start selling direct - and aiming to release cameras in $30-80 range.

You can ping me (contact info in profile) if you need more info, or how to evaluate risk-free. Just bear with me as we figure out the DIY route. :)

C++ experience is like bash or Perl experience. You can write something, often not even that bad, but you will be much slower and there will be a lot of cliffs from which you will fall.

FANG 401k plans all support the Mega Backdoor Roth IRA. Which every single elgible employee should be maxing out.

The pre-tax 401k limit is ~$23,000. But you can put in another ~$46,000 post-tax. (Limits go up a little each year). High end 401k plans allow this post-tax contribution to be instantly auto-converted into a Roth IRA that grows tax free.

It's maybe a little hard to max out at L3. But every L4+ SWE should be maxing it out. Do this for 10 years and you'll actually have tucked away $700,000 plus growth. Assuming you're a couple of decades away from retirement this will compound and grow into millions of dollars for retirement.

Is there a point in the log where there is a time cutoff for a viewer of a page? By that I mean: in your sample user A goes B > C > D, then there is a view by a different user, and then we are back to user A. What if the time difference between user A going to page E is like 10 minutes...is that a new pattern?

I feel like this is a fun thought experiment, but instead of thinking about "gotchas" I would be more open to having a discussion about edge cases, etc... The connotation of gotchas just seems to be like a trap where if you hit one, you've failed the interview.
We're living in times where big companies create (unlawful) law systems (theoretically based on law _somewhere_) and force others to obey (you must agree to our terms), without giving possibility to appeal nor have their rights proven under the real court (because it would be for example too expensive, or because that "you have accepted our terms").

This was funny unless people jobs and lives started to rely on those big companies, and their _de facto_ monopoly (if your store vanishes from Google Maps your store will surely vanish in real life eventually)

Hm I'm not familiar with that library (or really any others in the landscape). Why pick that one?

Why be doubtful it's buggy -- is it used in a major app? I can't really tell from this page:

https://www.libtom.net/LibTomMath/

I'd be interested in a review / survey of different options, and the strategy for testing. Basically the tests should "argue" that the code is correct, and documentation / blog posts also count!

(I'm honestly not sure how hard it is to make a correct big num library. But I think the original article in this series said there were probably bugs, so I'm guessing it's not trivial)

To give a flavor, we publish test results and and coverage numbers like this [1], and any new library should be consistent with this:

https://www.oilshell.org/release/0.22.0/quality.html

Our GC runtime has less than 5000 lines of hand-written C++ now, so any solution should be in proportion to that. That is, we probably wouldn't take on 3000 lines of code just for big nums.

So we favor correctness over performance. Hopefully there would be little perf loss in the small int case, but it's OK if the big int case is slow. It's the rarer case for sure.

It's a shell, not a Fortran competitor!

As far as the grant, we pay in 2500 euro or 5000 euro increments, and I don't try to parse "effort spent" any more than that. I care about the result, not if it's easy for a particular person :)

For example earlier this year we had a contributor Justin who worked on the pretty printer, with Wadler's algorithm (which I was unfamiliar with).

https://www.oilshell.org/blog/2024/06/release-0.22.0.html

And he had co-authored a paper on pretty printing, so it was probably not too difficult overall. But that's a good thing as far as I'm concerned!

So if you or anyone else thinks it's easy, please feel free to contact me / play around with the code, etc.

[1] our unit test coverage is reported at 83% or so, but we favor "exterior" tests, so it's really close to 95% or 99%. Also of course line coverage isn't really a way to measure correctness per se.

True. 9/10 of the interviewers I have met only focus on exact experience by matching keywords, and they won't be able to identify superior candidates with slightly different experience. The reason is simply time and effort.

The upside of this is that being able to position yourself in a hot niche will get you tons of interviews without even applying. The downside is that careers become extremely path dependent, which is a bit scary.
I did not recognize the quote. I haven’t seen Blade Runner.

The quote is attributed to “Matt,” and it’s at the top of Matt’s resume. The speaker in Blade Runner was Roy Batty. If Matt was trying to include a famous quote on his resume, why did he attribute the quote to himself?

Regardless of the answer, I don’t think a technical resume is the right place for quirky call-outs to films. Particularly if you are substituting your own name as the speaker of the quote. Maybe I’m being too harsh, but in the context of this resume, IMO, it’s just another red flag.
a lot has probably to do with not really understanding their distributions package manager and lkms specifically, I also always suspected that most Linux users don't know if they are using Wayland or X11 and the issues they had were actually Wayland specific ones they wouldn't have with Nvidia/x11 and come to think of it, how would they even know if it's a GPU driver issue in the first place?
