> a drone that is capable of detecting targets reliably on its own

Yes, I guess in the future a lot pf people will be killed by autonomous swarms of drones that just don't like the way they look, sometimes malfunction, give plausible deniability for war crimes, etc... ("who knows what the drones did, there was no communication. Also, the drones cannot possibly kill anyone who isn't a terrorist. Also, surely it was the drones of the other side.)

That's actually a great example for something I'd like to be banned. It would require international cooperation and arms control agreements, which unfortunately currently doesn't seem likely to happen.

Proof of that this is wrong, is that our brains require <20W of power. Non-brute force AI will be very efficient. Simple operations (int add/cmp) and no float matrix multiplications and keep moving around the same data all the time from memory to the ALU. GPUs will be overthrown by simple PIM.
Could you elaborate on why? The companies I have worked for have pretty much all used domain.com for marketing and app.domain.com for the actual application. What's wrong with this approach?
How to Send a Swift Wire for Developers
Hey HackerNews,

I published iso20022js.com a few weeks ago, and I was incredibly surprised by the overwhelming traction it received. I wanted to share more about some payments fundamentals that engineers might need in order to run this package - specifically, how sending these types of bank payments actually works.

Some jobs fall under this "public sector" transparency but work much more like a private employer when it comes to salary negotiation. For example a state university recruits staff and negotiates compensation much like a private employer (no equity options of course) but your salary will be public if you are hired.
> Why are you focused on YC/startups?

I've worked at a couple of large, well-known companies too but I like startups because there's usually more of a focus on building a product, and usually everyone on the team is interested in the space. In some cases there are early customers with requests/feedback/needs that the iterations are centered around and it's interesting to be close to that, especially when I genuinely care about the problem space.

In most startups I'm also working in an ideal or nearly ideal tech stack - either something I don't mind learning or something I'm already using in my personal stuff. Where at a big corporation it's often a painful tech stack unique to their predicament with devops processes that are outdated and complex. It's also hard to change anything, or introduce new tech which can be much easier at a startup with only a few developers. We can be like "this looks sick let's try it" vs "this looks sick I'm gonna go to Google Docs and create a Request-For-Comment, submit it to my engineering manager for approval, which after some debate he will send to the DofE for approval, which will be mulled over (?) for 6 weeks before being mentioned to the CTO who asks his friend/developer his thoughts who suggests an alternative which sparks a debate in the Google Docs comment section about the time complexity of a click handler".

Why YC: The startups in their directory tend to be more aligned with the problems I care about in tech, and are often quite cutting-edge in terms of mission and tech stack. I used a lot of AngelList in their heyday as well for similar reasons. It felt like a curated list of the startups who were: In SF, have a budget/runway, use modern tech, founders are (ideally) technical themselves or at least passionate about a space and have serious drive.

> Are you curious why the founders of a company spend 24/7 working it

If you read the post I said they were not there 24/7 working, they're often doing other things. Maybe this is the image put forth by YC and maybe it was once the truth, but I'm seeing the opposite now where founders expect 24/7 workers but they themselves are not so passionate and engaged.

Most microwaves are absorbed by your skin and bones, because it's too weak and large (wavelength) to penetrate through your body. If these waves could, we would use it for medical imaging! Instead, we use x-rays which are ionizing waves.

Microwave ovens work differently than cell phones (magnetron), so even though the frequency is the same they operate differently. Microwaves reflect off thick metal, so a quick test would be to put a copper pot or aluminum pan over that spot on your head (not touching it because it would cool your head, negating a non-biased test) and see if the microwave still bothers it.

Another test for your head-spot would be to see if microwaves are actually heating it up, so a spot thermometer might be able to detect it (but I'm doubtful).

FYI, cell phones have much less EM power than microwave ovens, and can't heat anything up. [1]

> Get an itinerant frequency -- $300

FCC fees are actually only $205. I do these all the time for work.

Also, you can get multiple frequencies on the same license, and you should if you are getting itinerants because there are so few and they are heavily shared.

The application takes around 15 mins if you're familiar with it and can be done completely online. If you've never done it before, it might take you an hour or more to figure out.

All that being said, the itinerants I am familiar with are in part 90 and that is only for commercial use. Its not clear to me that an individual would be eligible for this type of license for personal communications.

> Despite the post's claim Open Source existed long before 1998.

I've illustrated two things: it is not true that the term "open source" existed before 1998, and, the Fine Article's claim is, to quote it again:

> Most of you kids probably don’t remember a time where there weren’t millions of open source projects around, but the phrase was only coined in 1998.

That is, it is explicitly a claim about the phrase, meaning no possible interpretation of your expressed contradiction of the article can be correct.

All of your points could have been made without incorrectly stating that the author was wrong. In that case I would have upvoted and moved on.
I was surprised I could hit the Back button and not get hassled.

Which is reasoning that's difficult to prove. To the contrary women and underprivileged minorities also feel like they can't be assertive without being labeled as shrill.

The wage gap, at firms without a history of discrimination, is almost entirely determined by women having their first child and the support structures around it (subsidized childcare, paternity leave, flexible hours).[1][2] This suggests the assertiveness is probably not the issue.

You think joining a union makes you a cog?

Have the mass layoffs every single year taught people nothing? Newsflash, every company treats every single one of their employees as another replaceable cog in the machine. Even if you're the supreme grand wizard of space time and SQL at your FAANG job, you are still fully replaceable and will be if the business sees it as profitable to do so.

For now SWEs have it good, but this is quickly changing and techies are letting them do it because many of them have superiority complexes and naively think of themselves as indispensable to the business, as if there isn't an ocean of Eastern Europeans who'd happily take their place in the rat race to the botto.

There are actually some scenes with a proper CGI Max (at least in the British/Channel 4 feature) where Bryce is working on an early demo, which show how this would have looked!
I mean you see a combination of cgi and practical (puppet/rubber applicae and masks) in some of the newer disney+ star wars stuff (and some stuff that is both, grogu is primarily a puppet but they do some cgi work on top to 'sweeten' him). I think generally a toss-up as to what looks worse from a reality comparison perspective, however I think the practical work in starwars taps into a lot of the nostalgia and legacy from the first three movies and ends up being more 'accepted' by that audience.

Other blockbusters have followed suit on this re-adoption of practical effects as well, the new Dungeons and Dragons movie used quite a bit of practical effects in their creature work as well.

How to Spot NASA's Solar Sail Demonstration Streaking Through the Night Sky
David Chang is a salesman and a businessman first. I get the point being made, but keep in mind that he is a brand, and part of that is the stories he tells.

He has slapped his name on so many subpar food goods that were a total disappointment that I actually have started avoiding things marketed under his brand name.

He might do things the hard way in his restaurants, but they certainly aren't ensuring tasty or high quality goods under his brand. I would rather he do things in a way that makes sense and provides the best tasting food.

More broadly, the point is that you should take advice only from people whose successes you want to emulate. The actual advice I get out of this article is:

I am an investor in equifax. Let me clear up a misconception on where the data comes from. Half the data comes from large enterprise customers, who “sell” the data in exchange for Equifax doing I-9 verification for free. The other half comes from 39 payroll companies. Every single payroll company except for Rippling and Gusto sell paystub data to Euifax. (Rippling will start next year). Those are exclusive revenue share deals. You cannot be a competitive payroll provider without the revenue share from Equifax. So before you blame your employer, they might not be selling it directly and even if they opted out, your payroll company will sell it anyway.
Funny I've had to do this occasionally and I always do the following: for each edge E, attempt to construct a clockwise loop from that edge by traversing each vertex and picking the edge that is "most clockwise" compared to the incoming edge. Converse for counter clockwise. This gives you, for each edge, the two loops the edge is a part of (if they exist).

It sounds horribly slow, but isn't because the loop finding process for one edge can mark all edges it traverses as either being on the same loop, or not having a loop, for the orientation its checking. These edges can be skipped henceforth.

This does not find all loops, only the smallest disjoint loops (as every edge is at most part of two disjoint loops). But basically results in a similar planar "face" partition the author describes.

Its not clear to me whether my approach does not work (perhaps the angle compares fail on a torus? I've never had to deal with torii), or simply isn't suited because it misses some loops, but I thought I'd share it anyway :-)
If you have any more info on this, would love to hear more.

The Shift: From Meaning to Money
The NLRA doesn't protect "supervisors", which is mostly anyone who can hire/fire/discipline/etc. They technically are still able to unionize, but there is literally nothing stopping a company firing them for it.
In order to do so, one has to have a local butcher who is still in operation.

For many, any such local butchers were driven out of business years ago by the lower cost options in the supermarkets produced by the bulk producers, so the option to "just go to a butcher" is no longer available, at any cost.

Ask HN: Optimised scan which returns keys having common prefix in sorted order
Hi Everybody,

I found it hard to get keys in Redis with common prefix in sorted order.

So, I am working on implementing a modified data structure using which we can get sorted keys with a common prefix very fast. The command takes a start index and count as well.
Here's how fast it is - I have put 10 ^ 7 keys in Redis and the new tcp server built on top of the data structure which I have created.
Keys are of format "user:(number)" where number goes from 1 to 10 ^ 7.
On running the following command in Redis

scan 0 match user:66199* count 10000000
It takes 2.62s. I know we should use scan command with less count value and retry command until we get a 0 cursor back.. This is just for getting all data for a common prefix, I have used a bigger count value.
On running the following command in new server built on top of the data structure
scankeys 0 user:66199
It takes 738.083µs and returns all keys having this "user:66199" as prefix.
Both the commands outputs same number of keys which are 111.
My question to this community is that - Do you people think its a valid use case to solve? Do you guys want this kind of data structure which has support of GET, SET, MGET, SCAN .. where SCAN takes a prefix and returns keys having common prefix in sorted order. Have you guys encountered this use case/problem for production systems?

Nope, none of it was knowingly done, and plenty of teams are almost trivially convertible to the normal workflow, even without inventing a buzzword like TFA did!

Though plenty aren't. I get it. (But one of the magic phrases that really works well is "this is what git, itself, does, and there's a man page installed on your system at this very moment explaining it")
Why would that impact speculative loads/branch prediction? The pointers are untagged before they are accessed so it should not impact the loads.
I don’t remember where I got it, but I have a simple implementation of a command-line spinner that I use keyboard shortcuts to add to most scripts. Has been a huge quality of life improvement but I wish I could just as seamlessly drop in a progress bar (of course, knowing how far along you are is more complex than knowing you’re still chugging along).
In my experience, long hours and death marches are a sign of inept management, or unrealistic goals, both being very bad for long term company health.

I've had all-nighters, 7-day weeks, and death marches, but those were the exception, the result of unplanned, temporary circumstances. The norm was 5 days, engineering shouldn't be a sweat shop.
I agree in general, but running git bisect on individual PR commits is just doing it wrong. There will always be commits that break stuff temporarily. Run git bisect only on the merge commits instead, which are typically already tested by CI.
User education, personal AI, responsible vendors will be part of the solution. Seamless and safe transactions are very much desirable, there is a whole world to build on once they're in place, so there is a lot of motivation to solve them, but the solution shouldn't come from a few vendors that have no real regard for the collective outside their customers.
Why the black flag, though? That's a symbol of anarchy, which kinda suggests some kind of endorsement to me. But that also doesn't make sense because the Jia Tan affair was an attack on the commons, which is absolutely opposed to anarchist values.
