I find this curious since the Federal Gov. recently said a 4 year degree is no longer needed for IT.

Or they just pay a lot more.

If Boeing was paying $500K+ TC for engineers in their early/mid career, you'd see a lot more expertise enter the field. Instead you basically have to go into tech or PE/IB to see that type of compensation fresh out of school. Especially when students are taking on hundreds of thousands in debt, the payback period becomes really important when considering career paths.
Assuming they want to build a model that can do useful things with their own data (say any kind of content filtering, summarization, etc.) it is exactly what they should do.

I guess it's a gray area? It's more like a forum to me, of the pre-Facebook sort, more like Slashdot than reddit.

And there's extremely strong moderation here that does the opposite of Facebook: It optimizes against controversy and vitriol rather than encouraging it.

We end up with a bunch of nerds mostly talking shop and sometimes complaining about the job market, but that's still far less ragebaitey than most social media.

Do you want to track your kid, or give them access to maps? If the latter, offline maps on any number of phones should work great these days. You could lock down the phone heavily so they can’t get access to anything besides music and maps, as well.
I wouldn't worry. A few hundred billion dollars isn't going to solve immortality. We've also got to cure heart disease, cancer(s), Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, etc along the way.

Show HN: Fantasy Sports with Supabase, Vercel, and Next.js
Have enjoyed playing fantasy sports for years. This year I have a league going with friends for a $500 prize pool.

It's tough to do a full team with drafts, because it takes so long to monitor injuries, set lineups, etc. So we came up with a new game mode. Just pick one quarterback per week, and if he throws for more yards than his real life counterpart, you advance. Person who advances the farthest without getting eliminated wins the $500. The catch is that each quarterback can only be picked once by each contestant throughout the whole NFL season.

I used Supabase to do the authentication and login/signup process. Supabase is also used for the database. For example when my friends and I login to make our weekly picks, those picks are stored in Supabase. The rest of the project uses Vercel and Next.js. I have read stuff online about people who wake up to unexpectedly high Vercel bills, so I'm hoping that doesn't happen to me (tips on how to avoid this are appreciated).

Right now I'm still coding and getting the site ready for a bigger launch with more contestants than just my friends. Open to feedback, suggestions, collaborations, etc.
I Am So Glad You Made That Mistake
Interfaces are not free. Depending on the implementation, and how you use them, it can have significant runtime costs, some compile cost (though usually negligible) and most importantly, code complexity.

When you see a call to an interface, you don't know what the code does concretely, you only know what it is supposed to do. The actual implementation and how it ties to the interface may by in a completely different place. It is one of my biggest source of headaches when debugging code.

Interfaces are useful, the strategy pattern is useful, but overuse is harmful. My idea is to not use an abstraction unless I know I am going to need it. For example, let's say I need to decode video, and I have a hardware decoder and a software decoder. Here, an abstraction make sense, as I know the software decoder will be prohibitively slow one some platforms, and the hardware decoder won't always be supported. But if the optimized version is sufficiently better so that it makes the old version obsolete, just change the code.

And if I don't know if I will need to change strategies later, I just write the first strategy, and if it calls for an interface later, only then I will do the abstraction.
Thank you for stating this. Its annoying to hear free education = bad in all subtle forms.

Looking back over the decades in my career, only a handful of the really standout people that I've worked with had CS degrees. Most common were music degrees or being self-taught.

I understand how people recruiting are filtering for degrees, but I think outside of true entry-level positions it's completely silly to do so.
Just guessing, but OF's social interaction (or "interaction", if you will) with creators was more appealing whilst we were all starved for human connection.
I don't mean this as a rebuttal, but rather to add to the discussion. While I like the idea of getting rid of the Docker layer, every time I try to I run into things that remind me why I use Docker:

1. Not needing to run my own PPA server (not super hard, it's just a little more friction than using Docker hub or github or whatever)

2. Figuring out how to make a deb package is almost always harder in practice for real world code than building/pushing a Docker container image

3. I really hate reading/writing/maintaining systemd units. I know most of the time you can just copy/paste boilerplate from the Internet or look up the docs in the man pages. Not the end of the world, just another pain point that doesn't exist in Docker.

4. The Docker tooling is sooooo much better than the systemd/debian ecosystem. `docker logs <container>` is so much better than `sudo journalctl --no-pager --reverse --unit <systemd-unit>.service`. It often feels like Linux tools pick silly defaults or otherwise go out of their way to have a counterintuitive UI (I have _plenty_ of criticism for Docker's UI as well, but it's still better than systemd IMHO). This is the biggest issue for me--Docker doesn't make me spend so much time reading man pages or managing bash aliases, and for me that's worth its weight in gold.
I completely understand graduates would choose higher TC from tech/finance vs TC from Boeing. What I do not understand is why tech/finance companies would want to hire chemical engineering graduates.....

> would you spend a round trip and block it

Yes. If I spend time reviewing some code and I don’t understand some part of it because of naming, it’s definitely an issue that must be addressed during the code review. You just need to learn not to take it personally, reviewing is literally a third party coming to review your code without your biases, so they benefit from the "fresh eye". You should listen, because in 3 months you’ll be the fresh eyes trying to understand the code you wrote 3 months ago, cursing yourself for not using more descriptive names.
There are already cheap hearing aids. Airpod Pros will grow the market since they’re good for people getting started and okay for occasional use, but they aren’t good for wearing all day: too distracting for people you’re talking with, not enough battery life.

But now that Apple entered the market, maybe they will come out with wireless headphones that are more suitable?
If it is high entropy, what's the significance of the source of information's age? It could as well be 2 years old and no one would care.

What you get from the self-supervised training of a base model is more like "language fluency plus a web of crystallized-knowledge relationships."

But also, ML model training is a bit like the stock market: the noise/stupidity in individual examples points in a bunch of random directions, and so ends up cancelling out; while the signal all points in the same direction, and so ends up captured in the distilled model. (You might call this the "Anna Karenina principle of Information Distillation": all right answers are the same, while each wrong answer is wrong in a different way.)

This somewhat misses the point of my comment, tough. The post was written in English, so one should stick to how English represents millions.

Based on that, I can say `1.000.000` is equal to MM because Brazil uses `.` to separate groups of 3 digits, and `,` to separate integer and decimal parts.

My point is to stick to using the units the language you're writing on uses.

Btw, thanks for explaining the origin of MM! I definitely didn't know that.

I'm still not convinced that it's not going through approximate reasoning chain retrieval and that's self-triggered to get more reasoning chains that will maximize it's goal. I'm seeing a lot of comments from other SWEs using it for non-trivial tasks in which it fails at but is just trying harder to look like it's problem solving. Even with more context and documentation, it fails to realize details an experienced SWE would pick up quickly.
Unlike Gino, Ariely doesn't seem to have had a downfall. He still has a lab at Duke, he keeps getting invited to give talks, his consultancy is still getting contracts. It doesn't make any sense to me. Maybe another behavioral scientist can fake an experiment to explain it.

> I personally know two artists who have sued major companies who ripped off their work for ads, and both won million-plus settlements.

Ultimately "AI did it" should never be allowed to be used as an excuse. If a company pays for a marketing guy who rips off someone's work and they can be sued for it, then a company that pays for an AI that rips off someone's work should still be able to be sued for it.

Well, that and hot grits you insensitive clod.
I've seen companies do some really stupid stuff recruiting-wise post-covid.

Like one company I'm familiar with that after a two-decade relationship with Waterloo, stopped sending recruiters there because the recruiters no longer wanted to travel so far. Literally their best hires came from there.

An equivalent book, which covers the same topic, and which I consider to be one of the most influential books I've ever read: The Once and Future World, by J.B. MacKinnon (https://www.jbmackinnon.ca/the-once-and-future-world)

Unfortunately, the ebook version is rather difficult to buy outside of the US, but if you contact the author, he may be able to provide a copy.

The part I found most haunting was what he termed 'the forgetting' - how, as we lose swaths of Nature, each new generation accepts it as normal, until we've forgotten what was lost.

I also learned about the megafauna: giant animals that vanished in prehistory, coinciding with the arrival of humans to their habitats. Africans, Europeans, Native Americans, Australian Aborigines - it made no difference. Every tribe of humans wiped out the competition, in every continent.

Highly recommended!
What makes it ill-defined is that it computes infinitely -- that's why you need a totality checker (or a total language).
CCSF alum here (AA, completed over 20 CS courses). I attended a similar CCSF job fair in 2017 and there were only 2-3 companies involved even then. If I recall, it was Lawrence Livermore National Lab and Mission Bit, maybe a third that must not have been interesting enough to stay in my memory. There were ~10 students at the fair.

The LLNL internship seemed too IT-oriented to interest me. Mission Bit involved teaching high school kids to code after school, which I did for over a year and received course credit at CCSF for.

So it's not that surprising to me that they went from ~2 companies to 0, even disregarding the major drop in attendance at CCSF since 2017 [1]. I didn't attend any other fairs so maybe I missed something, but I never got the impression that they were especially "bumping".

Yeah, not caring about systemd is a big win for me. And I don't just mean the cryptic systemd unit syntax, but also the absolutely terrible ux of every CLI tool in the suite. I'm tired of having to pass half a dozen flags every time I want to view the logs of a systemd unit (or forgetting to type `sudo` before `systemctl`). I'm tired of having to remember the path to the systemd unit files on each system whenever I need to edit the files (is it `etc/systemd/system/...` or `etc/system/systemd/...`?). Docker is far from perfect, but at least it's intuitive enough that I don't have to constantly reference man pages or manage aliases.

I would love to do away with the Docker layer, but first the standard Linux tooling needs to improve a lot.
The monsters!
(1) the actual message doesn’t say the fair is canceled - it is still on; the message says no employers specifically looking for software engineers will be attending.

(2) it says that IT employers will be attending the carer fair.

(3) it also says that they plan to have more government employees for software engineers at the next career fair.

Ah so the implication is not that the prosecutor gave them inside info on the government's case's weaknesses but the prosecutor intentionally played the case suboptimally in hopes of being paid after the fact? If this was done with prior assurance that sounds already illegal no? If it was done simply on the hopes of securing "payment" afterwards with no prior deal then that seems like a large risk for the prosecutor to take.
It's even more annoying when hearing it about health care.

I don't know why that's funny, since that is the very essence of the ideal of democracy: the distillation or averaging of the sentiment of the masses yields truth. Some contributions are outliers in one way or another, and it's these outliers that live in many people's heads, but these extremes are ironed out by averaging against the masses.

CAIR shouldn't be able to give money to campaigns either, and also PACs shouldn't exist- at least not as a roundabout form of political bribery. All that aside, according to opensecrets CAIR raised 80k in political funding over the past 2 years when the AIPAC raised 45 mil, they're not in the same league in terms of influence. And that's not even getting into all the state-funded social media astroturfing campaigns that have been posted about here as well. I'm not sure how any US citizen could defend these practices while also having a (warranted) conniption over election meddling when the Russians do it

I'm also disapointed that the posts for this submission were immediately mired in politics (due to one off-hand remark in the article) instead of discussing the history of this siege or even the fascinating life of Josephus, but I guess I shouldn't complain if I'm part of the problem

>Also -- what's happening to science when more and more articles seem to have CGI artists renditions instead of pictures of the real thing

I'm sorry for joining the pile-on but why do you believe this is "new"? Artists interpretations and renderings have been the norm for space media since before NASA. It makes sense, since it's so hard to get the film crew out to Jupiter, and the craft all folded up on it's launch platform is usually less interesting to normal people than seeing the instrument as it will be in space

>but as a skeptic... It's getting harder to tell real programs... working warp drive

Skeptic? I promise you that everything put onto a rocket is real. Keep in mind that every single project anyone has ever had to get funding for will inevitably have a CGI rendering or artists interpretation because you need something to put on the first powerpoint slide when you pitch it to the funding board. This is not limited to NASA
