> I really gotta find a job where they pay you but people won't freak out if you can't make a simple business case for every detail of what you're doing in a given week.

Here's my tip: Get a regular mid-level web development job; spend 40% of the week to do the minimum of actual work you were allocated (just try not to dip below that), and spend the rest of your time doing whatever other work you want; tell your boss that while you're finding your allocated work difficult, this additional work that you're doing "out of hours" is really motivating you. The best case scenario is that they'll find that "extra" sufficiently useful to actually change your job title; worst case, you're let go, and can try again in a different company, having gained experience.
looks like it's mainly for research data, mainly life sciences, no?
LinkedIn was changed over the years to promote users who write on the platform.

Not just about viewership - if you are applying to positions, LinkedIn gives preference to candidates who are more engaged ON the network (posts, likes, comments, Pulse) over lurkers. [1]

So this is only getting worse. You'll have to see a lower quality feed just because the algorithm is forcing everyone to boost their own metrics anyway.

So many cycles of irrational exuberance followed by contraction, followed by...

If you're passionate about this work and having trouble getting paid for it, remember:

You don't need anyone's permission to start solving problems.

The last time I looked, we weren't running low on problems that need to be solved.

Every contraction I've seen hurts some really good folks, but mostly weeds out the poseurs and wannabe's, the parasites and bureaucrats, while those of us who make, just get back to the business of making.
Been passively wanting something like this for a while now. We have a good few dynamic imports so I'll have to work around that (as per another comment), but this is a much appreciated tool in the belt!

This is part of a war on tech worker compensation by shareholder activists and other investors, not AI. E.g. https://www.tcifund.com/files/corporateengageement/alphabet/...

If anything, AI investor FOMO is probably having a fairly positive effect on hiring, but nonetheless it's a good scapegoat if you want to wage a war on tech worker compensation and keep it on the down low.

>cutting carbs: also depression

Did anybody give you tips on this? the depression generally lifts after 2 months. For most people it's around 2 weeks, but for stubborn cases it may take upto 2 month especially for women.

Anyway, I'm sure you are fed up hearing advise/tips, I'll leave it at that. If you think I may have something to offer (and I think I do) email me.

Ps: I'm fully cognizant that every person has their favorite diet/remedy, and I'm just another delusional individual who thinks I've (partially) figured it out).
Wrong. At this level there is no compliance requirement to specifically identify "terrorists". And the sanctions against Iran, while partly based on state sponsorship of terrorism, aren't limited to just designated terrorist entities.

Most services aren't required to blanket block all traffic from Iran. Only certain specific transactions are prohibited. But a lot of companies choose to block everything identified as coming from Iran (and other sanctioned countries) just to play it safe.
Most of the licenses discussed in the article are demonstrably NOT open source licences at all.
I suspect it's worse than that.

Since the UK's Investigatory Powers Act 2016, I've noted that every web browser is necessarily an end-to-end encrypted communication system.

This isn't compatible with what all the spy agencies want. The US can kinda get past that with the reporting obligation for anyone publishing on an app store controlled by a US company. (As a British citizen living in Berlin, the corresponding checkbox when publishing apps is mildly infuriating).

Now that Apple is obligated to allow competitors, that doesn't work. Or perhaps the agencies finally noticed that this problem applies to websites and not just apps (perhaps web apps are finally good enough?)

So the agencies find another way — and this time it comes with an obligation to not report what they're doing.

This smells like that other way.

Might not be correct, but intelligence agencies' long-standing history means it's not paranoia.
Ref point 3 about high speed metal, moving to a place where things are in walking distance / less car centric could perhaps be a way to better enable independence?

My question is - what's the alternative which would work better for your country? Looking at your profile, you're from Africa, where the typical alternative is either a military junta or a theocracy. Why do you think that those would lead to better outcomes in your country?

All the 'founder attitude' book recs are probably a good idea, but I would recommend supplementing with some VC and investing vehicle stuff, such as Secrets of Sand Hill Road and The Power Law, especially if that seems unimportant and tedious. Understanding your options and what the incentives are for investors will help you better understand where you are likely to be aligned and where you have to be careful.

He started right about the time COVID started, so... about four years now, I think. I'm not sure if those were contiguous though.

I'm not sure what your idea about PRs and features has to do with the above... he's not there to work on the internal infra framework. He's there for ML stuff. Unfortunately, the road to the later goes through the former, but he's not really a kind of programmer who'd deal with Facebook's infrastructure and plumbing.

The point is, it's inconvenient. Is it inconvenient because Facebook works on a five-year plan basis or whatever other reason they have for it doesn't really matter. It's just not good.

I also have no problems admitting that all big companies (two in total, one being Google) I worked for so far had bad internal tools. I don't imagine Facebook is anything special in this respect. I just don't feel like it's necessary to justify it in any way. It's just a fact of life: large companies have a tendency to produce bad internal tools (but small often have none whatsoever!) It's a water is wet kind of thing...
What Happened To: "In Search of Excellence"?
I am old, I know.

When I was at the beginning of my career "In Search of Excellence" was the book to read. And I did. And I was totally fascinated by it, and sold.

At that time I had a crappy little job, I was a cog in the machine, but I was eager to improve and build a career.

3 degrees and 3 decades later I have built a decent career; and I have worked with some interesting companies, but I can count on one hand the leaders that I have worked for that I respect on a professional level. Most are at best psychopaths, and at worst clueless.

Why is so?

I am conducting a job search, and all the job openings are just so blend and run-of-the-mill, not much has changed in job descriptions, roles, duties ever since 1982 (the year "In Search of Excellence" came out).

So, we all experience the dichotomy that leaders want to hire creative and progressive individuals, but then, when push comes to shove, they just want the same old, boring, pre-internet era type of people.

And they want with the exact experience and system version's as they use, so that they can say "we do things differently here".

I don't see much excellence around. Do you?

How do we change this?

It's not fair to cite a rulebook when only one side is expected to abide by it.
The most ridiculous aspects for me were the anthropomorphizing (Reminds me of that one Sam Altman interview a bit) and the use of "infinite", which both doesn't really work on vibes (as many have noted, while I'm sure chatGPT has been exposed to every word, its pattern of communication is very "regression to the mean" among them), but also is silly if taken literally, because unless we're counting like some quirky technically-grammatical combinatoric compounding that we in practice infer the meaning of from composition of what we identify as separate individual words (like just hyphenating a bunch of adjectives and a noun or something) there's not really an argument for there being "infinite vocabulary" in the same sense that there is for "infinite possible sentences" because being a valid word requires at least that someone can meaningfully comprehend what is meant by it, and coordination requirements of this nature tend to truncate infinities

The case for ChatGPT doing significant coinage that sticks isn't particularly strong either, partially from theory and partially because I'd think I'd've heard a lot of complaints about it by now, and the ones on hackernews would be repetitive to the point of seeming unavoidable (we agree on that for sure)

Anyway, re: the silliest hype I've heard all week, I'm mostly just trying to find humor in what has been a pretty bad hype wave for someone who's pathologically bad at sounding like the kind of nontechnical hype guys that pervade any tech hype wave but is nonetheless mostly seeking out jobs in this field because it's what my expertise is in. Incredibly awful job market for a lot of people I realize, but it feels like a special hell I get for getting into ML research before it was (quite so) cool. I'm trying to fight the negativity but I've gotten screwed over a lot lately, but I don't have anything against you personally for being silly on hn

To break into mid-market and enterprise sectors, focusing on building trust and demonstrating your team's technical expertise is key. KindGeek here https://kindgeek.com/, a Ukrainian software development company, could be a great model to follow. They emphasize trust, transparency, and social responsibility in all their operations. KindGeek offers comprehensive services including UI/UX design, software development, and business consulting. Their approach integrates tech expertise with a consultant mentality, just like yours. You might find their methods useful, especially their focus on delivering end-to-end solutions like Android, iOS, and custom software, which are essential in higher-tier markets. They also emphasize the importance of clear communication and trust-building with clients, crucial for your growth in more profitable markets. You can learn more about their services on their site, and perhaps even consider a collaboration for insights into enterprise contracts.
That is a cruel way of discovering that one's skills are low value or obsolete. But an economy is quite cruel.
I disagree.

You don't need organisations that assign hierarchical unique identifiers in the form of DOIs if you just identify papers based on their hash.

You don't need publishers to verify identity via centrally assigned ORCIDs if every scientist can just sign their papers with their self generated public key.

You don't need proof of publication at a specific time via a journal, if you have a bunch of publicly available nodes that can notarize your papers hash with a publication timestamp.

You don't need peer review, if you establish a culture of rebuttal and confirmation papers that use the previous infrastructure to form a web of trust, where every scientist can see an individualy computed trustworthyness score for every paper that they read, based on the transitive trust of the peers that they personally deem trustworthy.

You don't need long term archival at libraries and journals, when you have a decentralized distributed hash table, where public institutions and individuals can contribute storage space to store blobs of papers and scientific data, that can be retrieved by their hash.

We think too small compared to what's possible. And we completely ignore the attack vectors that the current non-cryptographic identifiers, systems and institutions have.

The issue is only a political one precisely because established players don't want to give up their power or even learn new ways.

Tech likes to follow the “ask for forgiveness, not for permission “ motto.

If OpenAI, Facebook, or whoever asked for permission to gobble up all publicly visible data to train a program to output statistically similar data, I don’t believe they would’ve got the permission.

In that sense, I don’t think these models should’ve been made.

I dont think any of those companies would be in the clear. That’s my point.

I don't know if this helps but there is a name Evgenii Viktorovich Sokolov listed under the offer page with a registered business id. Searching it didn't turn out nothing particular as there are many persons with the similar name. He is listed as self employed leading to ab assumption that this is a solo developer project.

The provided options are useful to a certain degree but there is nothing too fancy. I tried something that appears to be a diffusion model and it provides comparable results.

That isn't easy if you're getting devices from consumer market. Requires cooperation of vendor, which might be compromised as well.

That's it. You might not need to do the actual production, but you need transparency of the supply and full understanding of the device.

Either that, or trust in some third party that does the heavy lifting.

> the [Tesla] charging experience couldn't be simpler, park and plug in, unplug and go. No tap, no app. Crazy how no one else could figure this out.

Agreed. I don't know why the vehicle and charger manufacturers didn't settle on a system that would let a user store credit card credentials or some other token in the car itself. When you pull up to a charger, plug in, and the charger and car do the handshake, and the car requests that a PIN be entered to release the credentials to the charger.

The charger could still support their own cumbersome apps or CC entry system (if you're trying to charge someone else's vehicle, in a rental scenario for example), but the default experience should be: pull up, plug in, enter PIN/Passkey, walk away.

For me it's because when I was actively looking for a role without Premium, LI started to block me from viewing people's profiles half way through each month, saying I was looking at too many profiles a month for the free tier, so I had to get premium to keep reading.

I had no idea; I didn't think I was reading many and I wasn't doing it systematically, just being curious.

After getting Premium, I could see who viewed my profile and how many views over time, which I felt was useful. It tells me about personalised top jobs, and it sometimes comes up with things I wouldn't have searched for that do seem interesting. Nothing ever came of those as jobs, but I've learned about companies doing interesting things which overlap my skillset as a result.

There's also the ability to send more messages a month to people I'm not connected with, but I write so rarely that's never been an issue.

I'm still on Premium by choice, but I still get the fake message ads, spammer connection requests and promoted ad posts.

In the end, my last 3 jobs were obtained via LinkedIn, the current one was via a LinkedIn social post which caused me to write to the poster, and a field I work in now (zero-knowledge proofs) is because of a conference someone talked about on LinkedIn. Many plausibly good contracts are advertised only as LI social posts, not even as LI jobs. So it's undoubtedly valuable to me for work, and valuable to have parasocial connections on it (to see those posts), even if it is a strange mixture of fake platitudes and real but self-interested posts.

> I'm looking for resources, books, websites, etc

Have you tried looking for a blind community or support group in your area? By asking people physically near you who have experience with the matter you should be able to react and understand better than from a static resource and may develop a direct network you can rely on for support and questions.
