> What generates more value - a good thought that can steer a product or a company in a better direction, or a pile of clean dishes?

The dish, obviously. A company (or a product) is an abstract concept that is largely meaningless without workers to actually provide value people want to pay for.

> Value is disconnected to the difficulty involved in producing it.

Human labor is the source of all value. If you're handing over money, it's because you're paying someone for the work they've done in some way.

> In fact, this is a key part of the free market. Precisely because it's easy for people who can do your job to produce a ton of value and hard for dishwashers to do the same, the market tries to push as many people as possible away from dishwashing and towards whatever it is that you do.

Yes, it's a lovely fantasy—but the real world doesn't work like that. The reason why I'm paid a lot isn't because I produce "value", it's because I'm really good at convincing rich people to pay me. The "free market" is just sucking off rich people with bad taste.

Would a “a for loop in node js” or “serving an webpage in Python” get so much attention?
Donated by the human whose cells those were, by someone else?

That Nature article seems to discuss both approaches, using both induced pluripotent stem cells and embryonic stem cells — which of course are not donated by the human being which they once were part of.
Encapsulating unsafe code behind a safe interface is not so easy (especially when cycles like these are involved) and there's always the danger of getting it wrong, so you generally want to avoid doing that.

In this case using `Rc` for the children and `Weak` for references to the parent does exactly this and is included in the stdlib, so I guess I'm missing your previous point of using "bare pointer". Did you mean that the safe interface should be built around the whole tree rather than just the parent reference?
I have mostly had the opposite experience (quit jobs too early) because at the time I didn’t understand how many firms are mismanaged, disorganized, or just plain hostile to common sense.

And so if you have a solid job with people you enjoy working with, and management that doesn’t drive you insane, I’d be pretty hesitant to job hop unless you’re absolutely certain that the new firm will be better. There are many many ways to grow and educate yourself while still holding the same job - have you exhausted those yet?
If you're asking this type of question, you should be looking around. Everyone needs some amount of comfort, but stagnation/continued disengagement with the work indicates that you might not mesh well with what the org is now (vs when you were hired), who you've become, or that you are [no longer?] a great fit for the role.

Also, it's totally healthy to outgrow your employer and/or role. Nobody talks about this, but its true. (Why do you think the corporate ladder exists?)

Personally, I tend to have a shelf life of about 7 years at most companies. Which is a long time in this industry; they typically change a lot versus when I join. Usually I decide I want to work in a different domain after that time. The first 9 years out of school I was pure backend work, then I pivoted to compilers/low-level dev because I hated Rails so much, and now I'm eyeing full stack/indie dev.

Keep in mind it's a bad market for employees right now, so be patient in the search process. Good luck.

Didn’t some Republicans literally say equivalent of “voter participation hurts us” recently? I can’t find the quote right now but I remember seeing it float by in my news feed.
I still use Picasa on Windows, but its cloud features (uploading and mapping) don’t work anymore.
I've also been at my current employer for a little more than a decade. I've been promoted to the 2nd highest level possible for an engineer without ever asking or doing specific actions to get those promotions. The last promotion would take actual direct effort, but I'm honestly not that interested. My salary is 2x-2.5x where it started as, and from a few brief stints interviewing at interesting places that reached out other people aren't willing to pay much more, and often less. We get a great work/life balance (wfh, 5 weeks vacation, 2 month paid sabbatical every 4 years).

I'm also very risk averse. I prefer being reasonably well known and trusted by the wider engineering staff here. I'm happy with where I am and have no intent of leaving. I mostly bring this up as a counterpoint to the people that say you can't have a good job by staying at the same place. Different places are different. Some of them are quite good. If you have a good thing, be willing to hold onto it.

With respect to not growing as an engineer, have you considered asking to switch teams or departments? I've shifted twice and each time led to a new set of challenges, but building upon my understanding of our systems.
I find regret to be useless to me. It just keeps me up at night if I look back and ignore what’s with me in the moment. Learning from experiences is one thing, but feeling bad about choices I made in the past is useless because I cannot change the path I am on right at this moment. But I can step off it, or course correct.

If I find myself thinking “man I could have made a unicorn startup”, I pivot that internal monologue into “how might I start to build a unicorn startup”. In my opinion, the hard thing is listening to that internal monologue and really listening to what it is saying.

Yep, TOR is not a solution for hiding from western governments. That's why anything large enough out there gets wrecked as soon as someone makes an appropriate decision.
:D Well, I'm sure that half of reverse engineering community needs to thank you, and Zynamics for the important contribution for tools of static analysis. I just take the occasion to thank you for being an inspiration with such awesome tools like in BinNavi, BinDiff, and ultimately PDF dissector. When I was reading that it got discontinued, I just had that idea and started to reason about something focused on analysis, and applying some approaches we've already seen for the binary analysis tools.
Maybe we can convince IANA to host a simple API, on example.com as well.
Instead of closing dups, I think they should go into a pile and "a link" shows you the list. The reader can then sift through them. Literal duplicates could still be closed from there. I've run into many closed dups where the original answer, while still correct, didn't click for me where the closed question got responses that gave me the Aha! moment.

SEO the hell out of the "pile pages" so the top hits go to something useful, as opposed to a closed question with everyone commenting that it's the top Google result.
I haven’t had that experience because I have never been anywhere more than five years.
It ends up being about 3 years on average because company gets acquired or does layoffs, or became toxic and I left.
Networking is a black box for many developers.

Why would it be any different if you're developing a CRUD application with a bunch of SREs / datacenter engineers on the line? They are very good at abstracting networking away from software engineers.
Myself, yes I think the optimal number of years is 3. If your resume is filled with 1 and 2 year jobs, then you are no more value to the company than a contractor. But IMHO after 5 a company will think you have no options and runs cheap on you.
At different times I've regretted staying too long and leaving too soon. It's a multi-dimensional problem and it's worth thinking through what you lose as well as what you gain.

It sounds like you have a pretty good situation apart from your goals to grow as an engineer. You might consider adding something, e.g. taking or teaching a course, joining or starting a group focused on learning, helping with an open-source project, volunteering to build a system for a local non-profit, etc.
I think you're missing that the suggested path is not "let's seize the factories", but instead a return to "distributed charity" like we had before the Great Depression.
My impression is that you can rent actual live humans, for far less than $500/month, if you're not picky about their circumstances or locations.
Parody or bad marketing copy?

I would recommend updating your resume (or at least thinking about what you would put in it) and considering how attractive it is to other employers. The situation you want to avoid is being comfortable and respected in your current role for reasons that are not transferable (like knowing how to maintain some legacy stack), and then finding out you have poor options when your employer has layoffs.
Is it mostly for people to embed within their code?

I’m looking for something to manage my prompt collections and how well I find them to work with different models - but I mostly use existing software for inference (e.g. Ollama, Open-WebUI, BigAGI, Bolt).

This rules out most of the tooling I’ve found as it seems most are focused on “APM” for LLMs - rather than a prompt library + playground solution.
I've actually had the opposite experience.

I left a great job where I was well liked for a small raise. The new job sucked and everything went downhill.

Unless it's a giant leap in pay, stay where your at
Where are you sourcing this from? Personally, I’ve only heard of the opposite happening. (For example, polling places getting shut down in some majority black areas in Georgia.)
In context of the paper, "high-speed gravitationally accelerated dive following fuel starvation", it bears mentioning the L/D ratio of a 777 is around 20. Which means if you lose power at 35,000 feet, you can have at most 132 miles of glide to the surface if well piloted.

In my experience the data and statistics that you want to know here are typically proprietary and the knowledge is internal and in "human brains" as well - not out there on the internet. So for these cases, since its not a matter of crawling but having access to the data or human experts. I'd be interested to know how your incorporating all that and what benefits you get from LLMs.
nuttin to show but Show HN
No, I regret leaving a high paying job at a large corporation while working remotely in a LCOL area to join a startup that failed dramatically. Now the market is difficult and the good jobs are hard to get. They say you'll only regret the risks you didn't take more than the ones you did, but that's certainly not true in my case because I would almost be financially independent now if I hadn't taken that risk.

Despite that, I'll probably do it again at some point because I don't learn lol
If you had ever worked sub-minimum wage you would know that this is total bollocks. In practice, employers never, not ever, make up the difference.
I'm guessing there must have been significant deliberate breakage.
All I want to know is how one of these can be used to generate more ad revenue.
If I understand it right, it is generating a unique link for me that I'll be able to come back to for the next 24 hours.

I went into this with the motivation of giving you feedback, I didn't really have a demo in mind; I've had phases of my life where I practically lived in PowerPoint, I am not so sure what the difference is between a "demo" and a "slide deck"? It seems like one big thing is that this product is oriented towards embedding a CTA such as a link or an email capture form: I assume I make my Supademo and then I can point people to the URL to see it?

I had no patience for the guided walkthrough, particularly I didn't want to listen to any narration but maybe somebody else would.

I started messing with it and found the UI felt really refined sometimes, I like the dialog for creating hotspots. Then occasionally I'd find little annoying things. For instance I created a chapter and when I clicked on the text I wanted to edit it seems like the cursor would not move to where I clicked the mouse (on Firefox) Now I could type and navigate with the arrow keys when I was there but the improper cursor behavior left me unsure that this was going to work until I tried it.

I made a meaningless demo myself because I am just trying to get a sense of what this product is, I don't have a demo burning inside me to get out.
I wasn't talking about what I read, I was talking about what they said on TV. I'm going to find the original clips soon (at work at the moment), but I clearly remember Hugo de Jonge telling us all, on national television, that we would be protected by the vaccine, and would stop the spreading of it. I'm not the only one that heard it.

I'm SPECIFICALLY talking about the Dutch news coverage here - I have no experience with others.

So this:

> It was _never_ claimed that it would "prevent" the spread of the disease or that it would even prevent _you_ from catching it.

Is just not true; they told our entire country on television.
Dude, I am not. :)

I know what the article is about, but I was replying to a specific comment, which took a different turn.

I'm not going to restate the context in every comment I make. If you care to, you can go back and read it for yourself.
I've been working since my teens, sometimes many years at a job (~6 years at one, and would've stayed longer) or primary consulting engagement (10+ years). My only strong regrets about staying too long anywhere was a couple shorter situations, because they were in toxic organizations.

It sounds like you found a good situation, and hopefully you're also taking good care of your health, and pursuing a life partner and family if you think you might want that. For sustainability and/or personal development, can you find a way to grow as an engineer, and also (not the same thing) keep LinkedIn-marketable keyword skills, while remaining at your current place?

Or, by "grow as an engineer", do you mean you want to maximize your monetary wealth? If so, the most common way to do that has been to get a FAANG job. (Though that's being shaken up right now, with lots of layoffs. Also, the gatekeeping tends to be snooty and rooted in class, so being almost a decade at a much lower-paying job isn't going to help, unless it's in a niche they think is prestigious, like university research.)
Starting today, YouTube is almost unusable on Firefox
Think “cybernetic GIGO.”
This regret goes both ways.

You might also regret leaving a great work life balance company and a boss who treats you well.

Slightly OT: don't underestimate the importance of having a good boss. 99% of the time, you either love or hate a company purely based on the individual person you directly work for.
I can't imagine staying in a job for 10 years - the longest i've put up with one is 6, and i hated every minute. that was the first serious one i ever had though, and it did net me some qualifications which may have been worth having.

but if you like the job, you could stick with it, so long as you also learn new stuff you could a[[ly should the need come for change.
Might be wise to make it more apparent that you need to close the right sidebar before you can do anything on-screen -- I tried clicking on the "Get Started" buttons, found them to be unresponsive / non-interactive, tried clicking on stuff on the side, and closed the page at first, thinking it wasn't tested on Firefox.
Sounds like you need a side project where you can explore new skills.
Like many people in case of LLMs, you're just demonstrating unawareness of - or disbelief in - the fact that the model doesn't record training data vetbatim, but smears it out in high-dimensional space, from which it then samples. The model then doesn't recall past inputs (which are effectively under extreme lossy compression), but samples from that high-dimensional space to produce output. The high-dimensional representation by necessity captures semantic understanding of the training data.

Generating "infinite Doom" is exactly what this model is doing, as it does not capture the larger map layout well enough to stay consistent with it.

I'm not defending the tax rate. I don't like tax, would happy pay less, equally someone has to pay the bill.

My point is rather that I want the millionaires to pay the same tax, not some special different one. We already have a social contract saying what people are supposed to pay.
oh. i had a dozen articles about the new freenet to read... but this just highlighted it's something silly and ill thought out. thanks for exposing it's worthless cryptotoken scam and saving my time.

I stayed at one company for 11 years, also my first job. Worst choice ever. The company was bad, I was not growing, it was detrimental to both my and my employer.
They're too big and too important to go through Chapter 7 bankruptcy, but Chapter 11 bankruptcy can and should happen. Wipe out the shareholders and executives but keep the company intact.
I thought I was making a good decision staying at a job I liked and not taking an offer for more money. I was laid off a year later.
That sounds a lot like South Park: The Stick of Truth.
That article mostly talks about cryptocurrencies.

In this case "crypto" in the title is confusing, since it could be also/instead about the cryptography industry...
it's only bad if you don't like it

I only saw people regretting staying for too long when they whined about the job for years before actually leaving

Google has been degrading YouTube in Firefox for me for about six months. Where are the antitrust enforcers when you need them?
...while being simultaneously vilified for "taking our jobs" and being "dangerous" (whereas they are being very deliberately used to generate profits).

You are making a solid case to issue permanent residence permits to all undocumented workers (since our economy would, at this point, collapse without them), and - most importantly - punish employers with prison time for hiring people unauthorized to work going forward.

That's it, illegal immigration problem solved.

Employers like that are having their cake and eating it, too. The undocumented workers are the ones who get punished for their employer's crimes. Sorry, I'm not going to cite sources, as I've yet to hear about anyone going behind bars for hiring illegal immigrants.

EDIT: never mind, here's a source[1]. It wasn't hard to find.

>For example, the latest available data show that during the last twelve months (April 2018 - March 2019) only 11 individuals (and no companies) were prosecuted in just 7 cases. There were no prosecutions during either of the last two months.

Corporate employers aren't even being prosecuted. This tells you everything about the hypocrisy of the entire system (and anti-immigration rhetoric in particular, whether legal or illegal).

EDIT 2: "sporadically" hiring illegal workers isn't even a crime punished by prison [2]. Yay.

Both swe jobs I've had I stayed with for almost a decade each. I'm in a very similar position as you with similar stats. Though I am a bit older. I enjoy the predictability but both places had rounds of layoffs at various points in time and I have the concerns as you.

I wonder if staying for long stints looks bad to future employers and hiring managers. I do think the predictability hampers my drive to practice leetcode, build tech side projects, and practice interview questions.

On the positive side, I like being a subject matter expert and diving deep into a tech stack and code base and knowing it inside and out.

Do I regret it? I don't. The stability has given me time for non-tech hobbies and projects as well as the time needed to have a family.

It's a little tougher at my age and with a family to spend a lot of time on technical side projects but I make time for it. That would be my recommendation to you for concerns about personal growth.

By "this project" you mean OPs link?

Sure, many portknocking projects are non-replayable (including the other script in the one I linked to, using OpenBSD's Signify).

But what I'm saying is that OTP or not, it's sent in plain text. But "port knocking" is usually this silly modulation over SYN packets.

I mean that an OTP sent in plain text is still sent in plain text. Using a series of SYN packets is no more encrypted than just sending it as a UDP packet. SYN modulation is not encryption.

Of course non-replayable is better than replayable. I'm not objecting to that. I'm objecting to modulating over SYN packets.
I wonder why emulators aren't interesting for a hobbyist. However, there are FPGA implementations [1], and micro-controller-type systems on FPGA available commercially [2].

There are more tickets sold to Avengers than there are tickets sold to Persona. But one is a work of art that will likely be viewed 100 years from now, and the other is for mass market consumption that no one will watch 20 years from now. Aesthetics for a work of art are far more important than the numbers sold, or the quirks of the author.
But is it playing the actual game or just making a interactive video of it?

I am one of FinalSpark's co-founder. You are right, this can be a concern. People who rent have the option to pay for exclusive access.
Thank you. That's fair feedback. We'll look into that on Firefox.
Sure, you're right. Maybe I should've asked more questions, even though I was being vilified, unfriended, and hated for it. It's just so incredibly weird to me that even in the Tweede Kamer (I guess the Dutch House of Representatives?) they just wouldn't seriously answer questions some people had. I watched every debate, every new item, everything (in the Netherlands). They have NEVER done this as bad as this before.

Either we were being lied to, or they chose the path of "let's make them sound crazy so nobody will think like this" for actual good. I'm not sure, and leaning more to the first (for the first time in my life, mind you), and it has served me well this time. Will keep betting on my own body's ability.
I'd imagine its easy to set up independent platforms for different users. Organoids are pretty easy to develop. Large costs come from Multi Electrode Array recording devices that can be >30K.
