There's a break-even point. But, that assumes you WANT to transfer electricity over the distance. Given that the desert is more than 600km from most habitation I agree that per-unit-travel it's not more expensive, but the thing is there are viable sites for generation closer to the location of use, which means both transmission cost and losses, and cost-of-construction are below the break even point: If you want to use deserted regions, you have to be prepared to front load the construction cost with higher total costs.

The Sun Cable system being planned for the N.T. will be using HVDC to transmit power into Indonesia and Singapore, if it gets off the ground. The Trans-tasman electricity feeder cable is HVDC (for instance) but people continue to argue it is not economically viable, despite Tasmania have huge hydro power resources and arguably being able to do what the Snowy 2.0 Pumped Hydro is meant to do.

W.A. is 2000km from the eastern Seaboard. an HVDC would work fine. There is no strong economic drive to make the eastern seaboard transmission network which spans South Australia, Tasmania, Victoria, N.S.W. and Queensland a national grid.

I still own multiple nanos with the watch bands and the kids love playing with them as a ”more kid-safe Apple Watch”. Even after all these years they’re still immaculate and work great. More than can be said by lots of other more recent technology.
Stay away from Clickup, it's just as slow if not worse. Also same AI notices.
The red and blue agents are effectively unlimited sources of true and false examples so you can get far more efficient scale than you can by pre training with labelled inputs. It’s also far more targeted on correct/incorrect rather than a notion of answer quality which doesn’t directly get at hallucination vs reality.
This is the way. All my cameras are "offline", serving RTSP streams and snapshots on my local network.

FWIW, I've often given interviewees one of 3 options:

1. Do an in-interview programming test. We try to make this as "real world" as possible with limited time, i.e. we give the candidate some existing code (which is similar but "slimmed down" compared to our actual code) and tell them to enhance it by adding some feature, then in some cases we had another piece of code with some bugs and asked them to fix them and write test cases.

2. Do a take home programming problem. I like to give people the option because some folks just do really poorly under the pressure of an in-interview test. When it's finished and they come back, we review it together and talk about their choices, etc.

3. If the programmer has lots of publicly reviewable code, I ask them to just share it with me so then I can review it and discuss it when they come in.

I basically just need to understand "Can this person write code?", and, related, "Can this person take a request in English and translate it to code quickly and efficiently?" And despite giving these choices, when I've posted a description of this on HN in the past I was still flooded by responses about how I shouldn't expect any of this: "I have a real life, I don't have time to do your take-home problems", or "I've been working in industry for years and coding for a job, all that code is proprietary and I can't show it."

All that may be well and good, but then my interview process is working - I don't want to hire you, and I can find people I do want to hire that are willing to do one of those 3 things, and it's not my job to make you understand that. Honestly, for all of the bitching about technical interviews, I feel a huge part of it is that:

1. People just can't accept that there are other people that are better than them that do do well on technical interviews and excel on the job.

2. Yes, there are outliers, and you might be one of them, but it's hard to craft an interview process around outliers. I also agree with Joel Spolsky's mindset of "It's better to pass on someone who might be OK, but you're not sure, than take the risk of a bad hire." I feel like every time I've made a bad hire there were definitely yellow flags during the interview that I tried to explain away, but I always ended up regretting the hire later and I've become more hardline on "if you can't prove your skills in the interview, I'm going to pass".
> By the power of drawing two lines, we see correlation is causation and you can’t argue otherwise:

the only think drawing this lines show is correlation, by the power of the lines _no correlation can be proven at all_

and while there surely is some (high) causation it's also more complicated, e.g. the cause of why governments which close to zero interest rates and why they moved away from it have further effect onto the job marked beyond "no longer zero interest"

>resumes generated mostly by ChatGPT

I've been wondering how I could go about making my resume not look 'ai generated', but I'm not sure how someone would go about approaching such a problem. Best I could come up with was keeping it down to one page, and only fitting in relevant skills, keeping it 'humble' in comparison to pages among pages that something like chatGPT might generate. Unfortunately it does not seem like such a strategy works when it comes to standing out from the piles of applications using AI, a good amount of which I assume don't even have the skills listed.
I looked at some tutorials and videos, but I can't seem to be able to create a smooth stream no matter what I try: different frame rates, different resolutions, etc. RTSP streaming works reliably for me, but the stream is always choppy. Have you had a better experience?
"Ungart’red, and down-gyved to his ankle" -- seems pretty clear that it means something to the effect that his unfastened stockings have fallen down to his ankles, no? And the context seems clear, that Hamlet's clothes are in disarray, as is his emotional-state.
I've never heard of a civil engineer being asked to design a blueprint in Autodesk with a more senior engineer watching them, or an accountant asked to calculate a department's P&L given 90 minutes and a folder full of Excel files. It might happen, but I suspect it's uncommon.

You're right about exams, but that's a one time thing. New lawyers, doctors, and CPAs have to demonstrate textbook mastery to pass a handful of exams once in their career. Engineers are expected to demonstrate textbook mastery for every job they apply to _for their entire career_ (and often multiple times per application!)

It's also worth noting that engineers have standardized exams and certifications, like CompTIA or AWS Certs, but for whatever reason those credentials do not seem to carry much weight. I've never heard of those replacing technical evaluations, just used to enhance a resume.
Finally they realized too many people were copying information from chatgpt and claude and didn't like seeing #####

Sorry to hear that. Thanks for sharing.
This sounds kinda plausible.

IIRC, some string implementations have separate implementations for very short strings vs. longer ones. Similar thing for vectors.

I also see some size-related logic in the (current?) String implementation [0] [1].

String is a class with no virtual methods, and its first data member is a pointer to the underlying buffer [2]. So if Stream.printf unintentionally type-puns String to char*, it might work out okay?

The other big reason to self-host GitHub is avoiding their constant outages.

This is non-intuitive to me.

I'd expect that the natural SIMD-extension to a binary search tree would be a 4-BTree (assuming 4-elements compared per SIMD unit).

For AVX512, I'd expect a 16-BTree to be used.

EDIT:

> The paper mentionned at the beginning, propose to have a binary tree layed out like the following:

> And if you take time to understand how this maps back to the binary tree, you will notice that we are storing parent-children triangles. With this, we can now apply SIMD operations on both the parent and the children in order to either dtermine if the data we are looking for is in the triangle, or if we should continue our search.

Hmmmmmmm. So maybe they are making a B-Tree here except not calling it one?

Wayland is even worse mess than it normally is. Used to flicker real bad before 555.58.02, less so with the latest driver - but still has some glitches with games. A bunch of older Electron apps still fail to render anything and require hardware acceleration disabled. I gave up trying to make it all work - can't get rid of all the flicker and drawing issues, plus Wayland seems to be a real pain in the ass with HiDPI displays.

X11 sort of works, but I had to entirely disable DPMS or one of my monitors never comes back online after going to sleep. I thought it was my KVM messing up, but that happened even with a direct connection... no idea what's going on there.

CUDA works fine, save for the regular version compatibility hiccups.
> caloric burn rate is constant regardless of lifestyle

This is obviously false as stated, extreme athletes consume vastly more calories than sedentary people of their same weight. Phelps was rather famous for a 10,000+ calorie per day diet but even just manual labors need significantly more calories.

Not as shitty as some of the stuff the article finds of course, but still a completely unnecessary callout that detracts from the message on said stuff a bit.

I picked that camera out because I was looking at ZoneMinder's web page and thought Amcrest had a pretty good product line in terms of value. At my Uni they've installed a lot of Axis IP cameras which are quite a bit more expensive and are definitely tougher and higher performance.

Ask HN: When did archive.is start to work with Cloudflare?
For years, archive.is has famously [0] not loaded when using Cloudflare DNS servers, due to refusal by Cloudflare to send the last /24 of the client’s subnet to the upstream resolver, which insisted on it for eDNS.

But recently I’ve been able to use the site even while browsing via Cloudflare WARP.

Either my DNS is misconfigured (leaking) or the issue is resolved. Does anyone know the details? Did archive.is back down on their eDNS requirements, or did Cloudflare start sending the client subnet?

I blame the tax changes that went into affect at the time of the peak tlfrom the Trump tax cuts. It made engineers more expensive. While interest rates make bank money more expensive, they make government bonds more attractive and the government last year gave bond holders 1.2 trillion. That money is free money. I don't think layoffs happened because of the rise in interest rates since most of these big tech companies are cash rich and have low levels of debt.
> Anecdotally I'm hearing that this is the story they're telling inside as a reason they're doing less hiring.

Well, you dont tell shareholders something different than what you say internally. That would be _material_.
I think for junior engineers the other thing that's made it much harder is that there is much more near-shoring/off-shoring than there used to be given how much better Zoom etc. are now compared to a decade+ ago, and how everyone is used to remote work.

I've worked with great engineers in Latin American and Eastern Europe, and these days the experience is almost exactly like working with a US-based engineer: they have great English skills, there is plenty of time overlap (especially for LatAm, and in direct contrast to the nightmare that was India offshoring in the mid 00s), and given I pretty much interact with everyone 99% of the time on Zoom/Meet anyway, it doesn't really make a difference to me where the person is.

So it becomes hard to pay a junior dev a US salary when you can get a great senior dev for that amount or less in LatAm or Eastern Europe.

My wife had to repeatedly call Amazon to get them to re-refund a returned item on multiple occasions. That issue coupled with generally terrible quality on almost everything is why we stopped buying anything on there. They would refund the item and then a month later claw it back.

I report the non-response directly after reporting how long I gave them to respond, it's not in any way misleading or underhanded.

You are free to think that I didn't give them enough time to respond, since "enough time" is subjective. But the amount of time I did give them was objectively reported.

It's now been the best part of 4 business days, and they still haven't responded, nor indicated an intent to respond. There's no way I was going to let them delay me indefinitely.

4-5 hours?

No assessment should be over 1 hour and 3-4 hours of interviews for most jobs is excessive. I’ve trudged through long assessments. I can’t think of a single one where a better thought out 30 minute one wouldn’t better.

No.

I’ll tell you EXACTLY what is going on. The long interview and assessments are because jobs don’t train anymore and these unpaid or underpaid hours are the initial training. 3 hours of assessment means 3 hours getting used to their systems and workflows. You’re just reinforcing wage theft and gaslighting, that’s all.
I went to math high school which was the most prestigious one in Russia at the time. Most of math class graduates would go to study math at the uni, and for the first year would be far ahead of their coursemates — but then would be hit by the sudden need to actually study the material and prepare for the exams like a wall of bricks.
I absolutely do. I don't find wireless cameras to be a compelling product in any personal or professional use case, but I see their appeal. I only used the thing because it was a gift.

Beyond storage some of the other "best things" were the easy to navigate UI with the click wheel, instead of the finicky buttons or multiple repeated swipes that other devices required. Also the iTunes integration. Having a solid music app on the desktop, that made it easy to create playlists, which could that automatically sync with the iPod so everything was there without a bunch of work, was a game changer when it launched. I bought my first Mac to get iTunes, because the software on Windows at the time sucked so bad.

There was some "technician" calling my wife just today about cleaning the house's vents and she handed me the phone without much context. He claimed to have personally cleaned them for the former owner, and I told him to send me a mail or letter, and gave him my email address.

Afterwards I realized it might have been some sort of scam attempt. He seemed to be in such a rush to get it done tomorrow and book a time now now now. And he sent no mail.

I guess the scam would have been to prepay some sort of fee or the whole cleaning. But I've got this feeling he was fishing for something more. Dunno if they have the know-how to actually use my voice to scam e.g. my mother.
