I think MS is asking you to re-buy your library.
I’ve seen multiple teams hire mediocre people despite having a choice. Usually it is because either:

- they believe velocity is simply additive (A player + B player > A player)

- they look too much into credentials (big name school / employer) and do not adequately vet ability

- they start with the attitude “let’s give this person a chance and see if they work out” and become too reluctant to fire when they turn out mediocre.

Teams should be more comfortable staying small longer in my opinion.
This is a great post with really valuable resources for any practical attempt to use strong randomness, but aren't you missing the whole point of the article?

Surely if you can just use a strong RNG to generate the key for the cryptographic algorithm you could just use that for all your randomness and ignore the stream of input entirely? The whole point of the article is how to extract the entropy from an unknown/untrusted input stream.

It's like the author has presented a recipe for a chocolate cake and you've said "it's better if you already have a cake, then you can just take a slice of that". Well yes.

Or in the domain of the article, faced with von Neumann's algorithm for getting fair flips from a biased coin, your solution amounts to "Instead I just flip my own coin which I know is fair."
After discussing it on English stackexchange https://english.stackexchange.com/questions/625990/meaning-o... I have to conclude that my definition is probably too strict (based on other people's opinions as language is a shared construct) although I still think maybe I just noticed something about the usage that other people haven't - that is to say my natural feeling of usage in English is that parallel things start and end at the same time (on same time scale - not assuming millisecond accuracy here) otherwise if not we would say that the first reign of Napoleon and the Presidency of Thomas Jefferson were in parallel to each other which to me at least seems absurd - they overlapped each other or were contemporaneous - but not parallel.

This however just seems to be my own feeling that nobody else shares, which I find strange, I guess it's one of those how do I know the color orange is the same for you as it is for me things - only in this case it turns out the color orange totally isn't the same for the two of us.

If you look closer, you can see what "Founder mode" is really about, and it's right there plain as daylight in the original post:

In the end, Paul Graham only cares about how you run your company insofar as it's VC funded, and aimed towards making him and his tech-bro buddies as much money as possible (any other externalities be damned).

The price of The Economist has increased rather dramatically in the past few years. In 2012, a print subscription was 137 CAD/yr (183 CAD/yr in 2024 dollars). In 2024 a print subscription is now 429 CAD/yr.
I zoomed into a handful of random spots, and quite a few (maybe 30%) do not appear to show basketball courts at all. Many seem to be just rooftops or construction sites.
That's a bit tautological: in any popular forum, there are going to be "a lot of people pretending they are making 'highly rational' value assessments" — or really, doing anything at all.

HN also has a lot of the "other" type (those who are rational but honest and objective), and the main distinction should be which of those dominate.
And I'd argue instead that on HN, that group dominates with their comments and upvotes/downvotes.

Eg. I consider myself the "engineer" or "hacker" type of person: someone who critically looks at most things, and is quick to come up with ideas for improvement ("what could be better?", which is really, to criticize), and need to remember to acknowledge the positives and praise the good. I drew more motivation from being involved with free and open source software or academia than from ever wanting to be "the next Steve Jobs". I totally don't see HN as the echo chamber, but quite the opposite.
not really a classic anecdote

> "My response was to a comment that it's still available on chrome store. I no longer see that comment.

> Assuming it was deleted, does HN change parent comments if parent was deleted? - that's misleading."

That's not possible as far as i know; What is possible, is that the original commenter EDITED their comment to a different text, soon after they posted it.
Proper insulation and blasting the AC during solar excess could also be a way to shift the evening demand.
If energy production--including its externalities--is too cheap to meter, all this is moot. However, if you're worried about time-shifting renewables, please note that it tends to get hot when the sun is shining. You can observe this in Florida (I kept my house at 73 cheaply with my solar panels), and California, where the duck curve has gone negative.

It's interesting to me that you did this with YouTube, as I did the same when I was 16 (almost 20 years ago now) but with AdSense. I earned about $70 (mostly off my buddies anime site) which I never collected. Seven years later Google sends the money to my state's unclaimed fund. Even more years later I finally collect that $70 check.

Just wanted to share some fond memories.
I also do not understand what you’re trying to get at with “internalized probabilities” etc. I understand the importance of this sort of jargon to the ‘ratsphere’ and all that (https://www.reddit.com/r/sgiwhistleblowers/s/nLaIGJbWAI), but that doesn’t make it any more intelligible to me. I guess that isn’t the point.
Where to? Sadly I'm on Windows and there are no more options that I can see. So it will be dual boot again in the future I guess + Ladybird.
Use of AI in Improving Outcomes in Heart Disease: Scientific Statement from AHA
Doing some research on schools, parks, churches, etc. where courts commonly are implies the number of courts here may be way too low. I assume this was a model trained by manually curated examples, so I wonder if a class of examples was missing from the training data.
Probably the worst advice in the whole thread
here is an idea: take the power away from google and browsers and let's go back to a desktop/native solution of intercepting all network traffic. Browsers can't resist that, because corporate networks need to do TLS inspection (sometimes, they are legally required to do so).

Another idea is, for the filtering system to operate a shadow DOM or an entire browser (like a selenium driver) that renders everything unfiltered. But the browser the user is using only sees filtered content. That way, it would become significantly more difficult for advertisers to detect the AD is being blocked. This could be done in a local sandbox and optionally in a cloud sandbox. Outbound network requests from the user facing browser can be blocked or filtered.

Or, just use Firefox. but I doubt Mozilla can resist doing the same thing, given the anti-trust issues Google is facing.
It's good to get a mindset but it's not enough on its own. It doesn't offer practical guidance
I believe a decade from now we'll see the "unbundling" of the three types of value universities provide: /1/ employability signal, /2/ knowledge, /3/ social. I don't know what will replace /1/ and /3/, but I look forward the future where /2/ can be made more widely accessible (without the debt).

Imagine a future where everyone knows 101-level concepts in chemistry, biology, physics, etc. and able to function in society informed by all this knowledge, rather than defer to "experts."

I'd say the possibility of your own computer having a virus infection, or your login credentials leaking some other way, is far more likely than assuming "HN might be hacked."
I read it very long ago. However, my feeling was that it's for VC funded companies and only companies who are looking to become a billion dollars corporation whereas personally, I would have been happy with the multi-million business
How can you possibly believe that? The first weekend I had my model 3 I drove it across two states, since that's where I bought it. It's got every bit of utility my previous ICE car had.
Yes.

Unless it’s a burner or malicious account, I can hardly imagine someone being that courageous to sign death warrant to their career if woman decides to call them out and it goes viral.
The kind of design doc that gets presented to management typically isn't checked into the git repo, in my experience. It's a google doc or a wiki page full of planning details, and it gets covered in amendments about whether XYZ will be ready in time and so forth.

Having documentation in your repo describing high-level architecture choices and peculiar quirks for future maintainers is nice, sure, but I think that's a separate document with different goals and relatively little overlap. It shouldn't be organized by feature, for starters.

Also, if the remarks in that document are granular enough to exist as comments, why not just leave them as comments? Then they're more visible and more likely to remain up-to-date.
Yes and the book is like 800 pages
First off, sorry to hear about your mother’s diagnosis. My mom recently passed of Ovarian cancer. <3

Looks great. How does ChatGPT handle it and does she feel like it does a good job explaining the results?
I once had a functional bug where a MFA recovery email would receive the token, but the system would flag any further steps as ‘suspicious activity’. I also had an active gmail session via thunderbird, so I could easily have proven my claims legitimacy if required. Alas, there is no concept of support at google.

People do sometimes do this when the circumstances make it feasible. I think the most common version of this is to couple a heat pump to a swimming pool.
100% this. I've also been thinking about going part time SWE, but I just haven't seen any. You can try freelancing part time, but that's not for everyone. The best bet is to get creative and go work for a large co where you can slack off part time. Maybe try joining as a junior. You can get the job done fast as senior , take the lower salary and get back some freedom. Seems fair to me.
Depends, what date did you create that channel, they may have changed rules since.
>$555 for wearable glasses is less than half what I'm usually investing in. And with the strength of my prescriptions, I already look dorky enough.

Yeah I make mine last several years, but I think the last pair I bought were $700-800 out of pocket after insurance paid for the exam and a couple of hundred towards it.
Awesome, I only recently started using Cursor after having used ChatGPT web interface for coding assistance for a while. It's great to see deep integration of AI assistance deep into the IDE. I stumbled upon this news while browsing for open source Cursor because I feel that it could be better in terms of DX. I like being in control of whatever tool I'm using. Some feature I will definitely find useful are:
1. Searching across the body of previous chats
2. Timestamps on chats
3. Easy copy of chat text wherever whenever cos I find it hard to copy certain texts at certain locations in Cursor
4. Currently I'm not able to navigate to panels from the editor using shortcuts keys bound to navigate up,down,right,left commands. I'm used to this in VSCode.
5. I mostly OpenAI models so it would be good to see some sync with whatever work I do in ChatGPT outside the IDE.

Are you available on github right now?
I think it's also worth noting that people can survive in a colder temperature range with warm clothes and insulation much more easily than hot temperature ranges

Hot environments start becoming potentially lethal at around 40 degrees Celsius

Cold environments are easily survived with decent clothes and coverings down to -40C, and can go much colder with specialized layers and personal warming

Heat is just plain more dangerous for humans
Three years would be an amazing amount of precious time with a loved one. I know this.
Note the plan was abandoned to satiate UK regulators, not a decision made unilaterally by Google
It is not a nitpick. VTOL aircraft are not cars. Period.

You might as well call helicopters "flying cars."
ACE of 8, IQ 170+, did absurdly well at High School. Am diagnosed ASD (at 50 years old) , have a psych friend say I'm ADHD but untestable.

I've had incredible highs (University Medal for example) in between various crises. My life is pretty shit, and I'll die alone. It took me a very very long time to learn to have nothing to do with family.

You're doing better than I am at this time.
I guess that depends on your management. I've not experienced that myself, but I'm sure there are places where it happens.
Or just vote them of the roads forever.
Very Neat! Appreciate your sharing this.

Just to be clear, your "EXAMPLE OUTPUT" is what is then fed to your prolog meta-interpreter to generate executable code in some other language (you mentioned Groovy) which is actually run i.e. answers the user query. Essentially then, a context is bounded by "pidgin Prolog" (i.e. Prolog+Natural Language) for the LLM and then user queries in Natural Language are submitted against it to generate valid Prolog code. This can be thought of as the logic/constraints of Prolog inference engine in the input modulating the interpretation/inference of the accompanying natural language by the LLM to keep it "on the straight and narrow" towards an accurate output.

I was actually thinking of using "Structured English" (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Structured_English) for this and maybe build a CASE Tool using LLMs for round-trip software engineering.
> What do you mean? "sin(0) = 0, cos(0) = 1, and for all x, sin'(x) = cos(x), cos'(x) = -sin(x)" is perfectly unambiguous.

It's pretty straightforward. "sin(0) = 0" is not a differential equation. Any phase shift applied to sine and cosine will produce exactly the same set of differential equations that apply to sine and cosine; you can rename the shifted functions "sine" and "cosine" and you'll be fine.
Usually because medicine, law, and finance comes with huge student debt. There's also a certain level of prestige expected with those profession that it seems par for the course to buy a $1M house, a car with a 6 figure price tag, etc. Those two things probably make FIRE hard to fathom for most of those people.

Really cool to remind people to do this but I also get a little sense of irony that to really do this, just walk away from the screen. Don't need an app to allow you to do nothing.

Not a put down at all, just that our strange little world has come to this.
I've never heard anyone say recursion is bad. What a weird view.

It's a problem if you're overflowing the stack, of course, but otherwise…
So what? Whether "flying cars" are good cars or good planes is beside the point.

The point is that VTOLs are not flying cars, any more than helicopters are.

Imagine that our bitter enemies invented a superior logistics tool, known as the wheel. Should we even consider adopting it, given its clearly ethically unacceptable origins?

If you think that this is an entirely artificial example, consider the fact that the same man designed the V-2 rockets which were hitting London during WWII, and the Saturn-5 rockets which brought astronauts to Moon: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wernher_von_Braun
I think there are many options between pink slime and Michelin three stars. I have never been in Michelin restaurant, and I don't eat in pink slime ones, but I never felt I am lacking options for food service. The middle road is extremely wide, you don't have to go to the sides.
This is all BS baloney theater crap.

A real engineering manager, when the execs say "Its Wartime" says "Wonderful, is everyone on the c-suite taking on call rotations so the engineers can focus or just the CEO and CTO ?"
The manual mentions it includes EasyEUICC hash in an ARA-M slot, so it should work.
ARA-M does not apply to OpenEUICC; as a system app, it can work with any esim.

It's junk for other users. MrBeast videos are merely mildly interesting to me and then it fall flat.
You don't see a lot of honest-to-betsy aristocratic reactionaries, but Charles Haywood is definitely one. Makes Yarvin look like a dabbler.
As someone working for defense it's hilarious how civilians use this kind of wording without any real understanding of what it means. The constant use of the term in the Phoenix Project bugs the hell out of me too.

It's yet another attempt for software enginerds and managerial bullshitters to make themselves feel more important than they are, because god forbid they say it like it is and just call it "how to lead a team when the cushy years stop"
At this point? They have been for a very long time. We saw this first hand when they almost single-handedly crushed Windows phone by essentially keeping them out of their walled garden. That was back in about 2010.

That was when I swore off them as much as possible. Not because "poor Microsoft is hurt" but because they showed the kind of power they could flex on others. I only use them for the occasional youtube video, nothing else.

Does Norway allow Chinese car makers into the market? Skoda is popular but I wish the article also mentioned the median value of an EV in Norway.

At least in the US, the cost of acquiring an EV is the major deterrent from what I can see. If you live in a city and you want to just get a cheap EV for under $25k for your typical commute, there's just no option in the US!
Priorities. You should brake immediately to avoid an impending collision, of course.

OTOH, if you're driving and the light changes to yellow and you have room to stop, you should check your mirrors to see if there's a vehicle behind you that's unlikely to stop.

Additionally, in the impending collision decision, once you've taken initial action, you'll want to check on traffic to see if you have an option to evade the obstacle. And if you don't have an out, if there's a vehicle behind you and try to maintain space ahead and behind if possible.
This was back when Internet Explorer was at version 7. Some Mozilla folks told me they used to get questions like "when are you going to upgrade to Internet 7 like Microsoft?"

If I remember right, after Firefox 4 they skipped a few versions and started the train model, while also trying to de-emphasize the version number in marketing.
Why on earth would anyone downvote this? This has to be one of the most common viewpoints held on HN.
A possibility of loosing access to a 20 years old Google account is quite disturbing. I know it's possible to setup a sync of Google drive to a local NAS, I wonder if the same can be done with Gmail archives.
Then there's a problem of loosing access to all linked accounts on other services. What can be done about those, switching them to Proton mail.preemptively? Life without SSO is annoying.
I think this is a pretty important publication. It deserves wider coverage and discussion.

Strong ethical basis to AI/ML in health required, and there are many unknowns. So they take a cautious position: we should seek the positive applications but be wary of false claims, over claims, and risks.

The implicit language around "why" is cost: Clinicians are expensive to train. The goal is to reduce health cost (cost in all its forms. Time, Labour, delayed consequences, over-prescribing..) AND improve patient outcome, but the ordering of the motivations varies depending on who is doing the talking I guess.

They seem skeptical of most of the models. They seem to be saying the baseline is so variant, proving a model is "better" or "faster" is still increadibly subjective.

More work required.
> Design by committee is always doomed to failure.

If you need to communicate your design to a lot of people, that's probably because a lot of people are depending on the output of your work, and they want to make sure it suits their needs. That's not design by committee—that's just designing something that will be widely used.
It's only a problem if you're into virtue signalling your green cred by "swearing off air conditioning." There is a ton of low hanging fruit to make cooling more efficient, but people just don't consider it worth the cost (esp considering the opportunity cost vs thinking about almost anything else).

Apart from personal opinions, is there any evidence this is due to Google sabotaging uBlock rather than a legitimate technical concern (V2 vs V3 manifest)?

Could uBlock implement V3 without losing its functionality?
