I can only speak to the Homegrown location in Redmond, but I'm not surprised it's closing down. The location just doesn't make sense to me there at all - if they were half a mile south there's Amazon and Microsoft offices there that would be close enough for workers to grab lunch. If they went east by a mile there's a business park right there. Yes they are close enough to both that they could still get that foot traffic, but people would also pass by 10 other places on the way they'd stop in instead. They also open at 10 so no way to grab breakfast (or lunch) on the way to work, and close at 6 which is too early for folks coming back from work wanting a small dinner.

There's a park right there, and lots of people hanging out after work are grabbing ice cream from a place that's in the same building - that's the kind of establishment that makes sense in the location they are in (the ice cream place is not a sweat shop either that is only able to survive by underpaying workers: as far as I can tell their starting wages are 21/hr, they have 100% employer paid health insurance premiums, paid vacation and sick time, and a ton of other benefits - Homegrown's benefits were worse despite the union). There's 2 other cafes that have sandwiches nearby, and for one they are open starting at 7am so you can actually have breakfast there before work, two, Homegrown charges 15 for a sandwich which gets you a full meal at both those other places. From a quality standpoint the other 2 also feel more like a proper meal than fast food.

If this is the way that they ran all of their locations, then really there is no surprise here, union or not.

All answers appreciated, but how do you send so much of context when communicating with GPT via an API and not directly through chat. Wondering this for a B2B saas use-case.
What's confusing for me is that the German government seems to change its mind radically around the question every few years. If I counted properly, there was already two orthographic changes since I was schooled (German as a second language).
I agree. I still hesitate to ship code that requires even AVX1, even though it was first introduced in 2011(!).

AVX512 really improves the instruction set. Not just from masking but from some really big holes filled in terms of instructions available that AVX2 doesn't have a good solution for.

At the same time I also DO have plenty of code that could definitely use the compute throughput improvement of 512 bit vectors. But it's definitely a more niche usage. You have to at least nominally satisfy that you: 1) Benefit from 2x the ALU throughput 2) Live mostly in the cache 3) Are not worth running on the GPU instead.

Is Amazon Music, the app, the same thing as Amazon Music, the team? Probs not.
There was at least one FRP fan on the team, but it was not a meaningful source of inspiration.

IIRC the motivating goals were:

* Client-server architecture (not p2p)
* gracefully degrade under constrained bandwidth
* replay support

The in-game replay was a by-product we simply thought was cool and novel. I’ve yet to see anything else like it!

The system also served as the basis for save/load. I think if you had a full replay you could resume from any point. Pretty sure we shipped that feature, although it’s been so long I forget what shipped and what was merely an idea!
Ask HN: How to send context when you use LLMs via API for a B2B use-case?
In B2B use-case, we pass on the data to LLMs via API and get the answers and display to the users. It's like a wrapper on top of LLM API. But since API calls are one-off, there dont have much context about a whole chat. How do you send so much of context when communicating with GPT via an API and not directly through chat. Wondering this for a B2B saas use-case.
The shittiness of a place is defined by a lot more, and more important, attributes than alert hygiene. Culture, pay, location, industry, leadership. If one leaves companies for (relatively) minor things like that, there are basically no companies left to work for.
Blockchain sure as shit isn't transforming anything in the automotive industry. So this guy's opinions can be safely ignored.
The idea sounds interesting. I have few questions :

As you said, the courses are generated dynamically. Does a human review those slides before being shown to learners?

Do you think the material generated in authentic and reliable for a new learner?
Dang congrats!

I had a very similar idea for going on a decade now , but never got around to working on it until a few weeks ago.
Now I'm demotivated.
I previously saw https://github.com/buildinspace/peru in use. Seems somewhat similar.
Neither is free. Both ideally pack back their cost in the long run.
Personally, the "Rule of Three of Software Engineering" has been a good enough practice for most cases, as usual with any rule of thumb there are exceptions but most of the time I can apply it.

I've been using it for many, many years and it has saved me a countless hours by postponing abstractions, modularisation, etc. to the point where it actually emerges as a pattern in the software I'm working with. Let the code repeat itself, copy and paste, and only after some pattern repeat itself for the 3rd time I start to think on how to abstract, or modularise it.

It's always so much easier to rework repeated code/patterns into abstractions than fixing misguided abstractions done too early.
AIUI “vegetarian” in India usually excludes eggs. This likely means that a _majority_ of the world’s vegetarians do not eat eggs.

> This is basic stuff; has someone been trying to redefine "vegetarianism" recently?

Oddly enough, when the word was introduced to popular use in English (though note that similar _concepts_ predated it), it usually meant something closer to what ‘vegan’ does today. The current use of the word is a 20th century thing. Words get redefined, all the time; that’s how languages work. Deal with it. In this case, the word has generally tended to be defined in _more_ permissive terms, not less.
Iiuc, it’ll call the vector<int> constructor with 2<<20 and make you a huge vector.
When I began my career as a DSP optimization engineer, I worked on ZSP processors. I had a particular passion for branch predictions. By analyzing data, we would code and recode branch instructions to minimize mispredictions. I loved that super- scalar architecture of ZSP and its Branch prediction feature was amazing, apart from its multi Instruciton execution in a cycle.

Foam rot is still a slow but sure process for speaker cones
I noticed this at work and in some other contexts last week. We weren't affected by this, but most of the people that brought this up, even technical people (other fields, not security or OS or anything like that), think that this was a Microsoft and Windows issue. they all seem surprised to hear that Microsoft wasn't the root cause of this, and they all seem surprised, because no one knows or understands what Crowdstrike is or does.
What do you mean? Without a special visa you are only allowed 90 days in a 180 day period within Schengen. No visa hopping around it.
I'm not a German speaker but this is definitely not exclusive to German nor is it caused by 'excessive' capitalization. The use of capital letters to denote nouns only helps to disambiguate it in German. While in English, this distinction is never clear just from the spelling of the isolated word alone. E.g. 'contract' can either mean 'an agreement' as a noun or 'to decrease in size' as a verb. There are plenty of other examples.

I agree though that this makes the round-trip inherently destructive.
This secret knowledge is common to older competitive games like Counter Strike.
The game does not explicitly tell you about recoil control, or economy, or any of the other aspects that are crucial to surviving even entry-level ranked play.

I've mixed feelings about it - deploying secret knowledge almost feels like cheating (a staggering amount of casual players don't do basic recoil control like 'pull mouse down', so when you play against them you have a clear edge) but I also don't like having to Google the right way to play a game.

Minecraft breaks all my usual expectations of this, because it's fun no matter what you do.
Founder of All Quiet here: https://allquiet.app.

We're building a tool in the same space but opted out of using LLMs. We've received a lot of positive feedback from our users who explicitly didn't want critical alerts to be dependent on a possibly opaque LLM. While I understand that some teams might choose to go this route, I agree with some commentators here that AI can help with symptoms but doesn't address the root cause, which is often poor observability and processes.
Ask HN: What's out there that isn't B2B SaaS?
I've been looking for new roles recently and it seems everything in tech is a B2B SaaS product. How should I be widening my search or what sectors can I look at that still balances tech but with something that doesn't feel like one of seven clones of the same thing?
Hello Arun. Does it use cosine similarity for the matching?
> Land is a form of property in every single definition used in literally every form of jurisprudence.

Not everywhere. At least not in the form of private property that an individual can own

> All urban land in China is owned by the Chinese government and is commonly referred to as “state-owned land.” All rural and suburban land is owned by rural collectives (i.e., local groups of farmers) and is commonly referred to as “collective land.”

Allowing private ownership of land is a mistake, but thankfully this mistake is not universal
In Florida it is actually extremely easy to get someone locked up in a mental hospital for 72 hours. You go to a courthouse and fill out a two-sided paper. It is called an ex Parte order. Then a judge rubber stamps it. Then the police go to the person's house and have the authority from the judge to do whatever it takes to put the person into custody and bring them to a mental hospital. I have been a victim of this paper terrorism style attack. Someone filled out the form with complete fabricated stories and I was locked in a mental hospital for 3 days. I had no ability to see a judge to defend myself. I requested a writ of habeas corpus from the court while in the mental hospital and was never brought to a judge. Now it is on my record in the databases police use for the rest of my life and I will likely never be able to get a security clearance.
From the article it looks like it does not. Indeed it is hard to imagine a mechanism that could safely accommodate such a feature. maybe an external control knob?
Yes, so much I think that the article link should be changed -- dang?
The code uses unaligned load and store instructions, so it should be possible to trigger memory access to unmapped addresses.
From the latter:

> However, nothing in that undertaking would have prevented Microsoft from creating an out-of-kernel API for it and other security vendors to use. Instead, CrowdStrike and its ilk run at a low enough level in the kernel to maximize visibility for anti-malware purposes. The flip side is this can cause mayhem should something go wrong.

> The Register asked Microsoft if the position reported by the Wall Street Journal was still the IT titan's stance on why a CrowdStrike update for Windows could cause the chaos it did. Redmond has yet to respond.
Job market isnt that rosy as government stats show. Just go to any foodbanks and see for yourself the queue. Remember no one audit government numbers. All the numbers are essentially "trust me bros".
Even more spooky that if they died from, for example, a gunshot wound then their heart would continue to beat. apparently this is a serious issue for coroners when declaring death.m

Graphics are always secondary, no matter what. Graphics are a tool in videogames. You have impressive light management like in DayZ with graphics from 10 years ago, and you have one of the most expected games and one of the best games in the last decade which is elden ring (or zelda for the same purpose) that have normal graphics (or even cartoonish in zelda's case) and does not matter a lot.
If you like history, have you read "From the Founding of the City"?

It's slow to start as the Romans fight the same Veientes a hundred times over, but when it's good, it's really good.

The stories are historic so there are realistic lessons in them. It's interesting as a working class person to read how the plebs were able to take some power from the owning class, for example.

The battles are tactical. The heroes are epic. The highs are very high and the lows very low.

Anyways it was preserved on paper 2000 years for a reason. It's unbelievably good.

The AMULET Project was an asynchronous version of ARM microprocessors. Maybe one could design away the clock like with these?

I wouldn’t say it’s particularly clever. It’s a fairly obvious idea to anyone who has worked with alerting through IMs. What it is, is /difficult/, because you really really need to avoid false positives. Probably lots of hard work involved. So kudos for making this work (if it works)!
I never understood why they haven't added the awesome from Workflowy^WDynalist to (the presumably much more financially lucrative) Obsidian.

I liked Workflowy^WDynalist, but (just like Notion and the lesser Notionesques) I didn't like my data being in some weird ass place I couldn't control. For some data it's OK, but...

The open-standards awesome of Obsidian is a huge benefit. But sync, while it works great once set up, costs like 5-10 minutes per machine. Which, compared to just being "on the web" is a huge cost. Potentially hours.

They obviously have the tech to make "on the web" an optional property of your Obsidian vaults... the only thing I can think is that they just don't have the manpower to do it with their lean team.

Which I can respect, but at the same time, as a (paying) user I am unsatisfied, and it seems like a glaring weakness to leave out there. A competitor with half the features, but with that one, seems like the biggest threat to Obsidian to me (even though I don't know of one yet).

EDIT: Oops, yes, I meant Dynalist (updated). I used Workflowy, too, and found them both good but both had that same flaw I couldn't accept for my important data.
As the production line trundles along a new batch of developers get their preserving coating of cynicism applied.
A better use case would be to list the processes on systems without procps installed. Nice.
I loved the quote in section 3:

> There are better ways to design than putting a big effort into making something look special. Special is generally less useful than normal, and less rewarding in the long term. Special things demand attention for the wrong reasons, interrupting potentially good atmosphere with their awkward presence.

> — Jasper Morrison, Super Normal Manifesto

This is exactly what I want in a coding font. I spent close to twenty years using Courier New because it was the default font of many coding editors. When other fonts appeared (Jetbrains Mono, Fire Code, etc) I tried them, but the shapes and kerning were unfamiliar and they made the code too hard to read. I didn't switch to anything until Consolas appeared, because it's a very Courier-New-style font.

This one, Commit Mono, looks beautiful. I loved the in-character spacing adjustments for 'kerning' while keeping it monospace. The letters are extremely readable and distinguishable. It's Courier-New-style, so it feels familiar. It is, in the spirit of the above quote, completely normal but extremely well done; it feels like real attention to detail and quality have been put in to making this the most exemplary normal it can be.
As usual, behind all the technology there is a team of Indians living on small cubicles doing all the hard work.

Those zebra fish workers deserve a bigger tank for its great job. Should be keep on a school as they enjoy the company of other zebra fishes and alone or in pairs aren't really happy.

They also like to swim against some currents so you can accelerate the system and put it on warp drive mode real quick. Connecting a big red button to a food deliver will do the same hyperspace effect.
Good and useful tool
Back in 2011, I interviewed at a large-ish tech company from the US for an "SRE" role (and never had I hear that term before) that, amongst other things, created an online, browser-based alternative to MS Office. Some rounds in, after the usual phone screening, the task was some sort of supervised programming in a $thatcompany Docs document while talking to the interviewer on speaker phone. Since I had rated "shell scripting" and "Linux" fairly highly in my mandatory self-assessment sheet that I had turned in weeks prior, I was tasked with conjuring a `netstat` replacement in bash.

I quickly realized I couldn't do it (because I did not, at the time, know where and how exactly socket information was held in /proc/), but I offered to write trimmed-down replacements of `ps` and `fuser` instead. The interviewer deemed that - and my solutions eventually produced in that wretched, browser-based word processor - acceptable, and a few weeks later, I shipped out to the on-site interview series.

Now I wonder if the hypothetical scenario presented as the motivation for this exercise is more grounded in reality than Izabera (thanks for all your help in #bash over years btw!) would care to admit... ;)
Bit alarmist headline.

No the number one A.I. house is not just gonna run out of money.
The Internet is able to transmit odors of rotting flesh????

Recently ordered an HP laptop
for some light work (not my startup),
and when placing the order said don't
include McAfee, that "I don't trust them",
all just from some odor!

CloudStrike runs in kernel mode? No wonder there are problems; kernel mode sounds like more of a threat than a protection.

Sooooo, for my Web server(s), McAfee and CloudStrike are issues I get to ignore. Problems avoided and time, money, energy saved!! Simple.
Which is true. Who votes for someone promising to raise taxes and give you less for it? People only vote for that to happen to other people, not to themselves.
I don't remember the exact details, but it was a breaking change that got people upset. It's not really about who was right or wrong, but how it was communicated.

That person has repeatedly been very curt with people as a matter of policy.
Microsoft backs down over rivals' Vista access (2006)
Actually there is very important 4th point about implementation (browser)

A few years ago a made a Monopoly-Deal-Clone game using mostly SVG + CSS + Svelte.

I was intrigued by the promise of SVG:

- Loss-Less Scaling

- Looks the same (or somewhat) the same on all browsers

- Text would also scale and be readable up and down.

Build playing cards on the fly with SVG elements dynamically (base-card-svg + text + icon/image/glyph)

All of these were never true-enough even for even a card-based game.

The SVG text never looked good-enough or readable at all sizes used.
Depending on scaling the text/icons and lines got blurred worse.

The "fix" for many of these were endless and browser version-dependent magic-css properties and values.

TL;DR
I wouldn't use SVG for more than 50% of your game or professional product that uses images/visual-elements. Its not worth the pain and effort !
How about running arm software?
> If it doesn't match common usage after some time, the spec should be revised

Well, the problem with any kind of language spec change is that it can take decades until it gets accepted widely.

Young people are the first adopters as they get it force-fed by schools, but getting the age bracket 40+ to adopt is a real challenge. Germany's 1996 project led to years-long battles and partial reversals in 2004/06, and really old people to this day haven't accepted it.
Prefix would be the traditional term.
Wouldn't a regular filesystem format of the card have the same effect - wipe the file? Wouldn't such SD cards be fatally flawed for most applications? My camera, drone, etc. all format the cards.
If you just want to play with this a bit, around 250$/month should give you enough metal when renting from cheap VDS/dedicated server providers.
Thank you for your response.

I did get my novice license (or whatever the lowest license is called) but never got an old borrowed radio to actually transmit. Then life kind of got in the way.

I keep meaning to get back into it, the sstv and various data networks are really cool. I really dig the analog tech.
The authors are using other historical events to help improve the theory. They aren't solely reliant even on time series.

This isn't an experimental study, and so they have to rely upon plausibility in context. This explains their multi-faceted approach a la distributional decompositions and state and IV.

To me, the contrarian position — that unions have no such effect — doesn't look as good. Prove it :)
Why would we need you to do that?
You need to check American gold stockpiles. That is currently holding down gold price. China is actively dwindling American gold by making it mandatory physical delivery to China. We will see how long America can play this. When the gold stockpiles truly emptied gold price will spike. Attrition includes ability to produce. If you run our stockpiles, how you peoduce?
I agree with:

> My opinion is that a large part of Kubernetes' value is derived from just two concepts

I agree with the first one, "control loops," but the second one is "API-based," not "Services."
I find that LLMs with web access are a good fit for this kind of search, at least to point me in the right direction. The URLs provided are mostly hallucinations, however.
Thanks! For me, it wasn't an option really, I'm completely reliant on this on my work now, I built it for that. And please, do work on yours, we need more tools building on the existing ideas with our own unique edge.
Are you talking about the var argument functions or the function which takes definite parameters?

Function with Var Args -

function sum(...numbers) {

return numbers.reduce((total, number) => total + number, 0);

}

console.log(sum(1, 2, 3, 4, 5)); // Output: 15

Function with 2 Parameters -

function calculateArea(length, width) {

return length * width;

}

console.log(calculateArea(5, 10)); // Output: 50
Shoot. Maybe GitKraken? It supports Bitbucket and it also supports PRs, but the documentation isn't super clear if it supports PRs on Bitbucket
Overpass Turbo is a great tool to search for bbq spaces, campsites, etc.
