Second this, Assistant is a game-changer for me. Its the usefulness of AI with footnotes that give me confidence that I can know where that came from and if I trust it.

Chat isn't needed to provide reliable answers. Google used to do this over a decade ago. What Star Trek didn't foresee was vested interests in the SEO space, governments, political special interest groups, and the owners of the search engines themselves had far too much incentive to bork and bias results in their favor. Google is an utter shit show. More than half the time it won't find the most basic search query for me. Anything older than a couple years, good luck. I'm sure it's just decision after decision that piled up, each seemingly minor in isolation but over the years has made these engines nearly worthless except for a particular window of cases.
This seems like an attempt to stir up a flame war. Hazel is written in ReasonML and uses OCaml-style syntax, and the Elm influence is in the design of an interactive programming environment based on running the program as you edit it. I think they could have said SLIME/ML and conveyed a similar idea. I strongly doubt the authors have anything against Haskell.

[Company]: We don't care. Your offer is for $X. Are you interested or not?
Small discussion a month ago (15 points, 10 comments) https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=41630461
This, I've never worked for a company where negotiation was an option. The current company has a team that's part of HR that does salary stuff and they pretty much have final say on the offer that's a take it or leave it deal. You can maybe push back once through your recruiter asking them to reconsider based on years of experience or something, but only really if they somehow didn't have that information initially.
Not sure how I missed this those other times, but I have read the book and implemented the computer before. It's a super fun exercise.
Tariffs are useless if you don't have investments to replace that product with local alternatives. Tariffs by themselves will not make the replacements appear (and here is the important part) with the same quality of the taxed product. Most countries that apply tariffs end up with inferior products and a monopolized internal market.

When I changed my political party affiliation in my state, I noticed the option to withhold my address and phone number from the public voter rolls. After choosing this, I don't get door knocks or calls. (I think it was a separate form I filled out and mailed or faxed into the registrar’s office.) This may require you to get a new phone number to be completely effective, and not use that phone number for donations or political activity. This obviously only addresses political calls/texts.

Additionally, I installed an iOS app called SMS Spam Stopper that will filter using on-device heuristics based on a large local library of spammy keywords or phrases, or alternatively you can provide your own keywords or phrases to block. The app has an odd UI, but works. Offending texts are moved into the Junk folder outside of your normal view in Messages that won't trigger notifications or badges. False positives are rare, but occasionally I find missing SMS two-factor codes directed there. Obviously, this is on an iPhone, but I'm sure similar exists on Android.

Further still, I liberally report spam texts and originating phone number to my phone company –– I don't know if all providers do this, but mine has a SMS short code you can forward spam texts to, followed by the offending phone number, and if they get enough reports, they'll block them on their side. This is less effective, because they have an endless supply of phone numbers. I'd like to think an especially analytical spammer may one day group me among phone numbers that never respond and may also be reporting them, getting their numbers shut down prematurely. Apple also provides a link directly in Messages to report and delete spam texts from numbers not in your contacts. So I do that, too.

I do similar to phone calls, and it's all really helped keep my phone from causing frustration. The maintenance decreases dramatically with time.

Good luck! I still wonder if you can't you sidestep the free-form and manual intervention stuff by giving those threads some shape via a monthly posting feature on ycombinator.com/jobs?

At the end of the day the challenges likely stem from "Who's hiring?" being just a thread with comments on a very spartan message board. I would have said you can solve these issues with an app or website, but you already have one, so it would be easier to just leverage that and then the sky is the limit–add any features you want!
I know; I’m saying it bites these companies in the ass when their hiring is broken.

ah the ol “Everything is securities fraud”. I could see it. Company posts jobs for department that is being divested/going out of business/etc, this misleads investors, ergo: securities fraud.
In my experience, Deepseek is my favourite model to use for coding tasks. it is not as smart of an assistant as 4o or Sonnet, but it has outstanding task adhesion, code quality is consistently top notch & it is never lazy. unlike GPT4o or the new Sonnet (yuck) it doesn't try to be too smart for its own good, which actually makes it easier to work with on projects. the main downside is that it has a problem with looping, where it gets some concept or context inside its context and refuses to move on from it. however if you remember the old GPT4 ( pre turbo ) days then this is really not a problem, just start a new chat.
> I also started using Gemini which already outperforms perplexity and this and will not switch.

Related, I haven't paid for Gemini since about a month after release, but the morally corrupt query of "Show me articles from left and right leaning news sites about <headline topic>" would result in Gemini censoring right leaning urls with a "url removed" placeholder and belittling statements about the concerns of showing me right leaning content. Perplexity had no issue with such a dastardly prompts.

I want a tool, not a curated experience, so Gemini is in my "will not use" list for the foreseeable future.

I admit I haven't tried this lately, but I also have no desire to help fund that sort of behavior.

If you have a bunch of objects in an array that you have a reference to such that you can pass it, then, by definition, those objects are not garbage, since they're still accessible to the program.

Like most filthy casuals, I don't think I'm a particularly "deep" user of the OS. It's basically background chrome for web browsers and terminal windows into WSL and SSH sessions.

To the extent that the OS does anything at all, I'm usually just mildly annoyed, like it signing be out of my work VPN or forgetting how my monitors are arranged. Or eating the battery when it should be sleeping (though I understand there's been some historical finger-pointing between Dell and Microsoft about whose actual fault those issues are).
I have a 34" from LG, but I absolutely CANNOT recommend the brand. It's been unreliable, and is currently being repaired after the panel died on me.
However, when it worked, it was an absolute game changer.

But yeah, we're talking $1k+, if you want both high-resolution (5K) and ultrawide. If you're ok with good old 16:10 aspect ratio, then a 5K monitor is much more affordable.

How could I be "overestimating" the emergent capabilities when I never even quantified those capabilities other than to call them "emergent" and impressive?

> “small” models show that your last sentence isn't true either.

I never said that even a perfect architecture would make small models "intelligent". However to the extent that even smaller LLMs can exhibit surprising capabilities, that's more evidence IN FAVOR OF everything I've said, not evidence against.

EDIT: But in that last sentence (of prior reply) by "small" what I meant was genuinely small, meaning non-LLM, and you seem to have interpreted it as "a smaller LLM"
> but legally they have to post the job and interview a certain number of candidates to prove there is no US citizen that can do it

I've got my first job after moving countries in Europe, despite this (very similar but it was 6 weeks IIRC) limitation being in place by law, within a week. Consulting body shop through which I was billing per day, and the umbrella company took 20% cut.

It seems its trivial to circumvent this kind of rule across the globe, and TBH what kind of state employee team would go over every single foreign first hire in given region, all the evidence and check its validity, gather all the details. Heck police ignore smaller crimes below certain threshold, states have no real processing power to handle this well.
Many people seem quite certain that it was. Despite that it wasn't.

I just wrote my name and asked questions about who it is, what he does, what he writes about etc. I have a personal blog, and I wrote a master's thesis recently. I also have a pretty detailed partially public LinkedIn profile and GitHub so if it can dig around it will find out more than enough for me to assess its ability to provide information. I also have a relatively rare name, there's only five or so of us with my full name globally so it cannot get too confused.
The biggest question is, can this bring back the behaviour of search engines from long ago? It's significantly difficult to find old posts, blogs or forums with relevant information compared to 10-15 years ago.
I’m not defending companies here, but what I’ve seen happen sometimes is a well-meaning engineering manager will post openings on this or other forums, and then the resumes end up in black holes like Greenhouse where the HR/non-technical types filter out applications without even looking at or responding to many of them.

I wouldn’t always blame the poster, and appreciate them letting us know.

Your points are good but I wonder if you’re wishing for an ideal that has never existed:

> actually surfacing the content people want to see, not what intermediaries want them to see

Requires two assumptions, 1) the content people want to see actually exists, 2) people know what it is they want to see. Most content is only created in the first place because somebody wants another person to see it, and people need to be exposed to a range of content before having an idea about what else they might want to see. Most of the time what people want to see is… what other people are seeing. Look at music for example.

I would imagine that's a carryover from the Win32/Client-Server days when that would have been a better choice.

Is that annoying? Yea. Is that annoying enough to force companies to collectively spend billions to look through their decades old codebases for double.ToString() and add culture arguments? Also keep in mind, this is a runtime issue, so the time to fix would be much more than if it were a compile issue. I would say no.
Post makes errors around what nonprofits are and can do. (IANAL, but I do set up and run nonprofits for a living.)

Error 1: "In the US, non-profits are heavily regulated in their operations..."

Correction: There are no more or less regulations than other sectors, but there is almost ZERO enforcement, so if anything, the nonprofit sector is more accurately described as very lightly regulated.

Error 2: ", and exempt from income tax."

Correction: Nonprofits are NOT exempt from income tax on revenue from earned activity that is not mission related, known as Unrelated Business Income.

Error 3: "Across the many different structures, though, non-profits have one thing in common: They don't have owners."

Correction: Oversimplification - nonprofits are run and functionally owned by a board of directors, people who hire and fire the CEO, decide how revenue is allocated, and approve any merger or dissolution. Nonprofits can also own for-profit subsidiaries (see OpenAI) so there are a lot of gray areas here.

In sum, nonprofit status is far more complex that OP thinks and there are a ton of opportunities for skulduggery - just because Ghost is a nonprofit does NOT mean it is free of conflicts or other bad things than companies do.

If Ghost really wants to demonstrate its transparency, it should publish its tax returns (IRS form 990) and also an itemized P&L -- then they can stake a claim to being holier than the typical business.

People often think that "non-profit" means that the company can't make a profit. It actually means that the company doesn't have any owners who can personally take the profits. Any revenue earned can only be reinvested.

Tangentially-related: I see postings for jobs specifically in states that require pay transparency (posting the pay range in job announcements), but they do not include a pay range in their announcements. While this is primarily an issue for companies that are illegally posting announcements without the required pay range, it might be helpful to include a statement in the rules at the top of the page. This statement could remind posters that if they are in a state with a pay transparency law, they need to include the pay range in their job postings.

How did it go through peer review without a comparison with ClickHouse?

> Our analysis shows that the Compact layout performs better when Null ratio is high and the Placeholder layout is better when the Null ratio is low or the data is serial-correlated.

ClickHouse uses a placeholder value with a separate stream with NULL-masks, and additionally, it has the Sparse column format, which is named Compact in the paper (but currently, the Sparse format applies to encode default values more efficiently rather than NULL values).
Although NativeAOT sounds cool and it's better than nothing: I don't like that it comes with a bunch of limitations[1].
