As a current Amazonian (and one that, as mentioned in my other comment, enjoys working at AWS largely because of interactions with brilliant tech minds and projects), I agree with most of your comment.

However...

>choose your team and manager very carefully and care a bit less about the company you join

I love my team, and even my organization that I work with. Multiple people on my team have stated that ours is the best team they've ever been part of in their career. But I don't love my company. I'm still at Amazon because even though my company is actively pushing me away, the love and enjoyment working with my team has been enough to get me to stay. So your advice here really strikes a chord with me, and I wish I could echo it.

Unfortunately, this advice isn't actually tenable, because no matter how great your team is, it's only one company leadership decision away from being ripped apart. I've watched this happen multiple times now, and this announcement is going to make it happen again. Caring less about your company just doesn't work when your company has shown multiple times that they are willing to throw away your team like that.

> because yadda yadda Apple threw a fit

Publicly traded corporations generally engage in strategy. They don't "throw a fit".

You're suggesting some kind of emotional immaturity. That's not how these corporations generally operate.

I don't know why the iPhone mirroring isn't supported, but I can absolutely guarantee you it's not because anybody is "throwing a fit".
When the apps are shipped bundled with the OS by the same company, and use new system framework/API features that are part of the OS what is really the distinction?
If they had metrics they would not hesitate to show them, parading those in front of employees like a victory banner.

Amazon does stack ranking, they are not really concerned with sensitivity anything.

They have no metrics. Metrics are for the underclass. The Leadership decides based on what they want.
Agree looking at ensembles is super essential in this context and this is what the end of our blogpost is meant to highlight. At the same time, a good control run is also a prerequisite for good ensembles.

Re NeuralGCM, indeed, our post should have said "*most* of these models". Definitely proves that combining ML and physics models can work really well. Thanks for your comments!
What are you basing this on? Just the perception from the outside? that's my view too and while what you said makes a certain sort of sense but is also so overly complicated compared to just doing layoffs (which they have done, so not like they always avoid them)

> So it has to be as fair as possible, and you have to be able to accumulate indefinitely rather than die in the same place you were born with no more than your parents had. That's American myth, not medieval reality.

The medieval era actually had a pretty decent number of wandering mercenaries and adventurers, many of whom were displaced people from the neverending ongoing local wars across the centuries. (Of course, these groups were also basically interchangeable with bandits if they were broke.) Just look at the Varangian Guard, which recruited itinerant soldiers from all over Northern Europe from the 900s pretty much right up until Constantinople fell to the Ottomans.

This all kicked into even higher gear in the Renaissance and later. As central monarchical control grew, so did army sizes and the impacts of those armies, leading to entire villages being wiped out or displaced entirely as a side effect of being in the way of an army passing through. Conflicts like the Thirty Years' War led to immense numbers of deaths and famine (current estimates say 4-8 million deaths just from the Thirty Years' War, for example), and consequently to immense numbers of migrants looking for work anywhere they could.

The part that didn't exist was, of course, the dungeons. There was no nominally ethical-concern-free money sitting around underground; the source was other people, willing or not. But the whole point of D&D was to have a small-scale alternative to the "armies or mercenary companies fighting each other" gameplay that it originally sprang from, so I can give a pass on that, even if the writers never actually figured out any coherent setting explanations for it.
Ah, I was referring to physicality not the personality. They hold the Trickster archetype prior to Sinter Klaus and Tolkien for sure. At least in Asian cultures a fox (trickster) sometimes has wisdom.

Have you read Susanna Clarke? Her faeries are like djinn if djinn had hopes and plans of their own. Amoral, egotistical, slightly insane, and sometimes petty beings of immense power, born of ancient pacts with the elements of nature.

How do these drugs affect cardiovascular health compared to exercising?

Basically if you run/bike a lot you’ll burn more calories and lose weight if you eat at a deficit. But you’ll also improve your heart health, lower your resting heart rate, etc.

Do these drugs help in that way at all or just with losing the weight? It would be amazing if we had a drug that improved people’s heart health.
> where you saw bad culture or micromanaging

Mr. Beast is ultimately the star of the video, so he has to micromanage at some point or another. That's his brand. He can't let his employees plan a video that he won't like.

I did find the comments about all-nighters off-putting... And I personally don't like working on multiple things at the same time. But that's personal preference; I don't particularly like Mr. Beast's videos, so I don't see myself working for his company any time soon.

I'm more concerned about Mr. Beast overextending himself. With Mr. Beast (the person) being the brand and the star, I don't think he can scale himself much more.
Oracle executives are scheduling a meeting right now just to read this letter together and laugh at it.

All jokes aside though, they don’t care, and frankly speaking, despite how much sense it makes for them to release the trademark, they have no reason to care.

I used to have an intellij plugin that would make a sound when there was a regix match in the terminal. It was extremely useful, I had it set to make a sound when a build was complete, or there was a compilation error.
I've installed Asahi on my mac. Altough I had to recreate some utilities, it's so much worth it. With macOS you have to accept the good and the bad, and the bad are really annoying. It work great for task focused usage, but for personal computing, it's a pain.

Meta is not similar to Amazon at all in broad company culture. It's not even close. The RSU vesting schedule differences are one hint.

There doesn't need to be. It's applied in specific contexts where the distinction is clear for that context.

You said "A monolith is just one microservice." But it's not, because they're literally defined as opposites. You might as well say "the color white is just one shade of black." It's not adding anything helpful -- it's quibbling over words.

Do you work on software that gets sold to customers? Often, uptime guarantees are included in contracts. If your software breaks, somebody has to fix it.

> Why would you waste eng time on something as trivial as support?

Because eng is the only people who know how the software works if it breaks, who else can fix it?

I would also say that good support is not trivial (this is not eng specific, it's a company wide initiative) and can be a competitive differentiator
Yeah it's almost like there's an inherent conflict in one company being the leading browser provider and advertising broker!

Operationally speaking, it yields solutions aligned with your organization and thus are easier to support.

Plus, I see microservices as a premature optimization. Let it be shown the additional complexity is warranted and provides value.
By the second time, you actually have a reasonable chance of knowing what the requirements should have been the first time. They might even be valid for the rewrite, if things aren't moving too fast.

I use a pomodoro app that pings when time is up and ticks for the duration if sound is on.

One constraint on frequent sound use is you can only really use them in either a solo environment or with headphones without being antisocial; which is probably a contributory reason to it not being a significant presence in modern development.

I suspect it was a more common thing in the beginnings of home computer use (80s onwards) when creating and controlling sound was immediately available from the command line before programming got abstracted away to a secondary level.

I know people who are slim and have roughly similar sentiment about the drug.

Then again I also know people who'd happily deny stimulant medication to people with ADHD, because "it's not fair".

Crabs in a bucket, I'd say. It doesn't help that in general, our culture still operates on the assumption that being fat is one's own fault and entirely under control of an average person, except for "legitimate medical excuses" like type 1 diabetes, despite plenty of evidence to the contrary. We've made progress on getting rid of such notions in case of depression, autism and ADHD, so maybe we'll do that with obesity too, in some distant future. Until then, people on Ozempic will hear plenty of "that's not fair", and "if you were a better person, you wouldn't need this".

EDIT: Maybe we'll get obesity to be seen more like smoking: something that's easy to walk into, but beyond average person's ability to walk out of without help.
Demanding that folks work in the office 5 days a week does not make sense.

There is a disproportionate amount of LEO satellites in polar orbits. Particularly morning time sun-synchronous polar orbits.

If everything in that orbit (the most crowded one) starts kessler syndroming it up, I think all the junk would mostly stay in polar orbits?

Can any orbital dynamics experts confirm? I was kind of just adjacent to that area in a job previously.

For the first time Apple responded to my bug report through the Feedback Assistant and requested more information, so kind of feel involved in this :)

So the bug was about the screen recording permission needed for some apps, Shottr specifically. Despite me allowing screen recording previously macOS Sequoia kept asking me to go into the settings and give the permission. According to Apple, that should have had happened once a week, so I gave a follow up feedback about definitely me not wanting to repeat this more than once. Fingers crossed I won't have to fiddle with permission when taking a screenshot.

But unfortunately it appears that they only changed the policy to do it once a month: https://a.dropoverapp.com/cloud/download/50dcbf08-a812-4ef4-...

Still better than once a week and the final UI is fine, but IMHO it should have an option to disable this behavior.
They haven't given a detailed reason, but pundits who have paid more attention to the DMA suggest that it's because the feature does not allow 3rd parties to offer the same integration.

While the DMA's changes to the app store received the most publicity, the DMA mandates for modularity for any feature where a home-advantage could be granted by the gate keeper. Since features like AI and screen mirroring are already established markets with competitors, Apple offering these as built in functions could be interpreted as actions against the DMA unless they offer a way for others to tap into it via APIs.

However this is just a guess. There is a cynical rhetoric that it's to punish the EU but this is a pretty flimsy idea since it's clear that Apple is relying on these new features to propel upgrades to M series macs and new iPhones. Currently there exists no tentpole feature for people in the EU to upgrade. The other reason is that it's pretty tenuous to think that the EU masses will rise up against the EC because they don't have screen mirroring or image playground.
That's a really difficult comparison to nail down and is heavily dependent on assumptions you make of the alternate reality you compare against.

Does Amazon shutdown all of their office buildings completely? Do employees still leave home and work out of shared office spaces that they prefer to home or the Amazon campus? How do you factor in things like HVAC costs for individual home offices versus a main campus building? For electric cars as the unit of measure, are they new? How do you account for production costs? What power source is charging the cars?

Ask HN: Edge Computing and Physical Security?
When using Cloudflare's developer products like Workers, KV, and R2 there doesn't seem to be a way to control where your Worker functions are executed and where your KV/R2 data is stored. Cloudflare has Edges in many shady countries. I remember a documentary from the 2000s where journalists paid some Indian tech workers to get them data on Western customers. They simply physically entered the server room and got the data. Now because of Edge computing there are many more physical security weaknesses like this.
> Instead, they used disassembled Apple chips.

I'd take that with a grain of salt: Desoldering eUICCs from iPhones and somehow fitting them into the Nano SIM form factor sounds prohibitively expensive!

Any chance it's actually old Apple SIMs (i.e. the physical things Apple used to ship in the SIM tray of iPads before they had widespread eSIM support)?
I'm a Japanese speaker with maybe above Japanese average but way below professional English and effectively nothing else except I've taken _a_ Chinese class, and it's currently obvious to me that UG theory is largely BS and most of the rest tautological, except I have no ability to succinctly point it out in a logical, academia accepted language.

There's been too many anecdotal cases I've had that aren't going to fit with the basic premise of UG theory that there's a hard-wired common human language engine with output stage that is language. Like they seem to have logical constructions that feels sound but aren't going to be linguistically valid in languages I know in Chinese, and there are of course phenomena of people's attitudes switching along with their languages, etc.

One counter example to UG theory I've come across recently is an easily understood phrase "verbalizing one's feelings": if UG theory holds some water, feeling == thoughts == language, or at least they should be close to each others, and we should be able to just `^C dump-sumerian<CR>` at any moment at zero cost, and we can't. Not that it takes unreasonable bandwidth or storage to do so but we can't. Doesn't that perhaps suggest that languages are both external yet natural to yourself as much as a keyboard is to a man?

Maybe it actually needs exposure to the third language so your subconscious can eliminate the possibility that you're just not good at the second one, I don't know, though I do believe multi(>=3) lingualism is sufficient condition.
Link is to a very funny video (and catchy song) about Twitter. Something caught my eye from the accompanying press release:

> "While Facebook, for example has around 3 billion monthly active users, and YouTube has around 2.5 billion, Twitter has just 350 million. This may still sound like a lot of people. However, another quirk of Twitter, again rarely commented on, is that just 10% of its users produce 80% per cent of its content. That means that Twitter - rather than being a representative chunk of the population or the “public square” some claim it to be - is really something closer to a niche activity."

Is this a fair analysis, or are there further nuances here based on the nature of the different platforms? Does Twitter have a disproportionate heft? That is, leaving aside the whole Musk thing... but just on that, watch the video for a good laugh :-)
> I don't get the diverse conclusion. I don't resonate with it at all. We were all relatively poor, of the same race and had very similar upbringings and possible futures. We were similar in more ways than different, and that was great.

You’re not wrong that you likely didn’t have much diversity where you grew up. My parents are Ukrainian and Belarusian and I grew up in Brighton Beach, so I get it.

But: the diversity I got from living in NYC was insane. By the time I got to junior high I had met every race and ethnicity, eaten nearly every possible cuisine, learned a bunch about every religion, and so on.

Contrast that with my wife who grew up in Columbus, GA, where they had one “ethnic” restaurant and it was the “Chinese” spot, and you can imagine there were a massive amount of differences growing up. I didn’t have to learn about other cultures when I got older; I had grown up immersed in them, and it made it so much easier to find common ground with literally anyone.
Truly the most pressing issue of our day
Almost all of his examples are/were failures, by all metrics.

Cause and effect requires observation, which means there will be a time delay between when a company does something shady and when the customers realize the rug was pulled out from under them. You can't know a pinto is going to blow up before it blows up. Once people realized, it almost destroyed the company [1]. The time delay between a correction in a company is even longer, because it requires another layer of observation.

None of these are proof that the error correction mechanism is broken, or that the quote is somehow untrue/fragile. Most of the egregious examples of broken feedback are those companies that make the red and blue politicians multi millionaires by the time they retire, usually with no-consequences government contracts.

edit: and, this fails miserably if you don't pay any attention to the end goal, which I've seen several times.

I'll bet it wasn't. You're hearing this from the person who ran the company. Most companies have terrible code, and I'll bet the people running those companies would also say they were "engineering focused" and had "rock solid" code. They're just wrong.
It can make sense when done right. If the team grows organically in response to the work, rather than work increasing to grow the team, it can make sense to reorg the team and often internal promotions can make that transition more smooth.
Well it didn’t
I used to bike 30 miles a day and never lost weight. Cardio is good for pretty much one thing: building cardio.

To lose weight, you have to eat less. GLP-1 receptor agonists make your brain think that enough food is actually enough food, rather than "panic, I'm going to die if I don't eat more".
