Model that won the 2024 Physics Nobel Prize – Hopfield Networks [video]
This is the wrong take. Yes the general economy is strong. Also there’s a massive thing happening in tech.

There have been hundreds of thousands of tech workers laid off this year from a dozen different companies. Theres a recession in tech. It’s happening because of a massive market pivot and nobody knows who will own it yet.

If you want to understand the pivot look at who is firing and who is hiring.
I posted elsewhere an excerpt from their paper. Their game looks like a demo you'd create following a tutorial because it basically is.

The crux of their tech is just a game where you juggle two tasks and get distractions thrown at you, and the better you do, the more it tries to distract you. They probably barely modified a few stock assets and added a single chunk of code to implement that dynamic difficulty.

It really makes me want to re-implement this exact project. It's literally a weekend thing.

Of note, their test they supposedly improved on was TOVA, "Test of variable attention", and anecdotally more so tests your ability to stay focused on a response time test.

That is not confidence inspiring. Being able to do better on a response time test after playing a game that challenges your response time at higher difficulties is not new science. This also does nothing for those like me with utterly broken executive functioning.
> That Slack will actively mutates entered text is doubly infuriating.

Slack is not good with that but man what are the people smoking that designed MS Teams? What the actual fuck happens when you try to type, copy, paste or send a message?!

Slack is an oasis of sanity, compared.
The amount of fundamental breakthroughs at places like IBM, Bell, Xerox, all beg to differ with you.

In some fields of CS, places like MS research garner nearly 50% of all top conference publications.
I just turn off notifications completely. Horribly implemented notification systems have completely turned me away.

DnD on? Nope still get notified. Government sends Amber alert? Yea let’s full send it across the entire state for a crack head vs police incident that occurred 500 miles away at 4AM.

Severe weather alerts have now been moved to voice calls and that number whitelisted in my contacts
Great idea. Do you also want to address some more root problems of job postings:

* done for optics, to look like growth or doing well, or just to have their name out there.

* to fill the pipeline for future needs

* to assess the hiring market, for planning

* (for reasons mentioned in article) to light fire under current employees, or see how replaceable they are

* only for a serendipitous unicorn hire, not commodity developer

* for training in their hiring process

I know all these are things that happen in general with startup job posts, though not necessarily on HN.

None of those reasons preclude "responding", but responding doesn't solve the real problem, it's only a PR sugar coating on it.

An example of disclosure on the unicorn hire one would be to simply state the truth about it. That's fine, so long as you're not pretending to grow. It could even be good optics, about hiring standards.

Disclosure of some of the other intent would preclude it (e.g., probably nobody is going to state the goal of threatening or replacing current employees). Maybe those posts shouldn't be done at all, or maybe they can at least say that this is a speculative post, not for a currently open position.

I'd say job posts have to be truthful, and it's by default implied that they actually good faith intend to fill the position as described, in a timely manner, and that interviews will only be conducted in good faith. If the default isn't true, they should disclose that.
>ChatGPT launched search

Probably about the best use for it IMO.

>Opinions about Google Search have been turning negative... Not to mention the deep sh*thole that we call SEO

This is not at all new.
I'd say for the case of Tauri it's doubly so. You can have natively compiled Rust code for especially compute-intensive functions, rather than having it running via WASM.
Yeah, I have four kids, and I'll be the first to tell you that it's not a logical, rational decision; it's an emotional, probably hormonal, one. For people like us (the HN crowd, in general) who are drawn to computers, math, logic, etc. and pride ourselves on it, I think that can be tough to understand and accept. It took me a while.

With no intent to disparage women, I think the "baby crazies" are very real. My wife and I got married in our early twenties, enjoyed a few child-free years, but then they hit hard. In her mid-twenties, it became very clear that there was no way my wife would be happy if we didn't have kids, and ROI had nothing to do with it.

Even when there might have been a positive ROI for having kids, I'm pretty sure that nobody looked at it primarily in that way.
What do you mean with "search about myself" here?
Humm, Ive never had a problem. I would think that the polymer layer would seal out the tumeric.

If you are using teflon pans, then metal spatulas are probably worse for you. But you should not be using teflon pans on the first place!

Also wood spatulas exist as a very good replacement for plastic spatulas for teflon pans anyway.

I guess that's preferable to black plastics (like in my fancy OXO) but I really don't want there to be any contact between hot water and plastic.
Not making any claims or value judgments about other economic structures. I wanted to point out that the value extraction aspect of capitalism is fundamentally cold blooded / soulless / impersonal.
> At the end of the day, Sam the VP is just going to slot his buddy into the job but now you made a whole bunch of people apply for a job that was never available to them.

Nowadays, in tech, it's all about who you know rather than what you know.
> It's against the rules to call out hiring companies in the thread, primarily because we don't want off-topic arguments

All due respect: if an employer posts here offering for people to apply, that the employer in question is bad in some way, I don't see why that's considered "off topic." If a company sucks, we owe it to our fellow engineers to get the word out until they improve. A perfect example being the sorts that don't have any intention of filling the jobs they post.

In my mind the only sort of company that would avoid posting here due to the potential of being criticized by the HN userbase are exactly the sorts you don't want posting, so that seems like a win/win.

Just my 0.02.
Well I opened the article, near the beginning I saw the text: "81% of recruiters admitted to posting ads for positions that were fake or already filled."

Instantly that felt completely insane to me, my bullshit detector went off the chart, so since they provided a source, I followed up on the source to see the evidence for myself.

What do you know, the source is from a "my perfect resume" website that apparently conducted a study on the issue, but they aren't providing the details of the study, aren't providing a paper , aren't providing the methodology or questions asked, aren't providing any details whatsoever, the only thing they provide is the "conclusions" of their study.

So, apparently because this random website supposedly conducted a study, and they say the result was "81% posted fake jobs", that makes it true.

Hey, I also conducted a study, and 14% posted fake jobs. There, my claim has just as much backing as theirs does.

Instantly lost interest in the "study" and the article based on it.
This doesn't apply to energy grid scale projects. Also that is why energy sector in most countries is privatized. Take Germany with total energy costs that would be like ~10% of the federal budget (about 40 billion euros). Making energy even more expensive would only lead to further deindustrialization and lower gdp making it politically non viable. Also, you can't just throw money and buy storage like with typical government contracts - it requires building entire new industries (like Germany's struggles with hydrogen infrastructure).
I'll also add that earlier this year, the US put a number of Chinese consumer technology companies, including DJI, on a public blacklist that designates them as "Chinese military companies". This is a clear use of the United States' diplomatic power to hurt and discredit Chinese tech businesses. Whether the US should be doing that is another issue. At the end of the day these sorts events are a common biproduct of large power politics, but the point is that China's actions are not unwarranted.

I recall reading many years ago when I was making some kombucha that one of the problems was using a ceramic container that could leach lead into the brew - presumably related to the acidity of it.

Nowadays, I like to make kefir as that seems like the easiest fermentation - milk and kefir grains in a covered glass jar (not airtight) and leave for a day. Temperature isn't critical and there's no sterilisation needed.
Distributing for linux sucks. There are dozen different ways to install applications and not a single format could be installed by say top 5 distro. I was hopeful for Snap, but it is awful in my experience. Unless the package is managed by the distribution itself, installing it sucks. e.g. Here is link for chromium binaries for linux[1].

This is Subset Sum and is famously NP-complete so, no, an LP doesn't work. However, the problem is only weakly NP-hard and there is a pseudo-polynomial time algorithm running in time O(M • n) where M is the sum and n is the number of accounts.

The problem is, perhaps, most of all, that it takes the same amount of space.

Ps, it's not a permutations problem, but a subsets problem. While permutations is n! subsets are "only" 2^n.
I searched for what are the top stories in HN today and one of the results was that OpenAI released ChatGPT 5? WTF? Also about Rust 2.0. Also, the sources listed were strange, not HackerNews, although it did list Hackernews URL on top, but not in sources. https://imgur.com/a/AoFiEQt

Is it selfishness or is it that there's an unending list of things that could affect us and go wrong compared to simpler times and no one can defend against all of them so we do our best to get by, spending our limited attention how we can, and hope that when something goes wrong we don't also have to listen to smug hindsight from people who are not currently dealing with one of the many things they're not defending against?

“Fuck you, pay me” - Childish Gambino

The whole thing needs a reframe. Ad driven business only works because its a race to the bottom. Now we are approaching the bottom, and its not gonna be as competitive. Throwback to the 90s when you paid for a search engine?

If you can charge the user (the customer- NOT the product) and then pay bespoke data providers (of which publishers fall under) then the model makes more sense, and LLM providers are normal middlemen, not parasites.

The shift is already underway imo - my age cohort (28 y/o) does not consume traditional publications directly. Its all through summarization like podcast interviews, youtube essays, social media (reddit) etc
Disposable Web Servers: Solve it, then Toss it
I don't know if I'd classify the cleaner diagram as "cheating" per se, but it does trade one kind of complexity for another kind. Removing nodes by adding a concept of implicit branches via "unless" clauses within a node doesn't necessarily make the system any easier to understand at a glance. Sometimes systems have good reason to be complex, and sometimes we have good reasons to hide much of that complexity, but let's not conflate hidden complexity with the lack of complexity.

If I were to suggest a way to make the original chart cleaner without changing the quantity of explicit nodes and branches, I would start by reducing it into parts that are cyclic and parts that are acyclic, then drawing clear divisions between those parts. Then you could give these encapsulated bits names and thereby make it easier for them to refer to each other (such as in the duplicated flows between local and global preferences) without having to draw a mess of crisscrossing lines.

Solving this problem will require us to stop using the entire web as a source of information. Anyone can write anything and put it up on the web, and LLMs have no way to distinguish truth from fantasy.

Limiting responses to curated information sources is the way forward. Encyclopedias, news outlets, research journals, and so on.

No, they're not infallible. But they're infinitely better than anonymous web sites.
It's good information but...

1. Why is your favicon in the uploads directory? Usually, those would be at the root of your site or in an image directory?

2. Why is there an uploads directory for a static site hosted on GitHub? I don't believe that is useful on GitHub, is it? You cannot have visitors upload files to it, right?
I'm sure stack overflow is a biased subset of users, and I imagine the people that fill out tech surveys are going to be more likely to use Linux. But it's the best data source on this that I know of. Regardless of the exact market share percent, I think it's a reasonable assumption that there are millions of developers using it as a desktop OS.

Along those lines too, I don't have evidence but I'd bet that the type of developer who uses Linux is more likely to integrate new tech like LLM's into their workflow than someone whose on Windows.

Smell that!? A large part of Google's search business is on fire right now!

There are three types of search: informational, transactional and navigational.

LLM's are competing hard and fast for informational search. Once upon a time we offered 2.5 keywords to the Google Gods only to be ultimately passed to stackoverflow.

That game is up. Google is losing it faster than you can say, "anti-competitive practices in the search engine industry."

Transactional and navigational search remain.
thegauntlet.news does not seem to be an especially credible source, and OP's account is just over 1 year old with only 68 karma. most of the posts appear to be a handful of sites like the jacobin or thegauntlet, and all happen to have socio-political axes to grind.

and a couple of basic posts about jellyfin to look legit. color me skeptical.
I think it's going to be hard to enforce that, unless you go through ycombinator.com/jobs

But I agree that's fair to expect from companies. Yes, they have potentially hundreds of applicants, but writing "We're sorry to inform that you have not been selected to interview" probably takes less than a minute, so spending less than an hour rejecting every applicant seems in line with the time I'd expect each candidate to spend preparing and submitting their application. Plus you can always automate a list of emails to send rejection messages to...

It's also a nice way to differentiate the Who's hiring? from all other job boards out there

Maybe make the "flag" feature work for users to "report" non-responsive employers. On repeat offenses, reach out to them saying they've been repeatedly reported? Just brainstorming

Perhaps the monthly postings should be handled via ycombinator.com/jobs and the thread here is just a dump of this month's new openings with links to applications there but not direct posts by companies?
We had the 1977 Moutier riots linked to the (very left-leaning at the time) Jura independance movement. But before that, we had the 1932 Geneva "massacre" where the Army executed 13 strikers, hurting 60 others. It's not gaslighting, its just history has its been taught to me by my leftist grandpa.

And I guarantee you, those events are part of Switzerland's forgotten history, simply because Bourgeois do not allow us to remember those, for once again, leftists used to stand for extraordinary concepts such as national sovereignty and workplace democracy.
The 2 credentialing bodies we hire from are International Coaching Federation (ICF) and National Board Health & Wellness Coaches (NBC-HWC).

But yes, anyone can call themselves a coach. They would not be credentialed though.

That's one of the challenges I personally felt when I was looking for a coach when I was diagnosed and couldn't really figure out what was legit and what wasn't. That's part of the mission behind Shimmer too, so that members know that if they come to Shimmer, they're getting a qualified coach who has went through a robust screening process, and undergo ongoing supervision, training, and community! Actually only 3.7% of qualified coaches who apply actually get through our 4-step process.
Hopefully that's how it sounds. :P

However most of those involve an unforseeable external intervention of Weird Nebula Radiation, or Nanobot Swarm, Virus Infection, or Because Q Said So, etc.

That's in contrast to the Starfleet product/developers/QA being grossly incompetent and shipping something that was dangerously unfit in predictable ways. (The pranks of maintenance personnel on Cygnet XIV are debatable.)

You’re not doing a great job of not rhetorically dunking on OpenAI when you imply that it must be for children, elders, or people who can’t be arsed to search.

The comment was dripping with condescension towards the use of LLM search, and that’s coming from a huge OpenAI skeptic.

Hackers will spend unlimited amounts of time and energy to argue why they shouldn't pay for something. I think it was the Dalai Lama who said that the highest ethical principle that exists is to use things without paying for them, and that it is in fact the people providing goods and services who are oppressing the people who are using them. But I could have remembered wrong.
I think they're gonna have to pay.

The way reddit limited access to their API and got google to pay for access. Some variation of that but on a wider scale.

You would have to be naive to think that a house bill banning consumer drones is about "supporting the base". The prevalence of Chinese goods in the US is not a popular or even very partisan issue. The actions being taken against DJI has everything to do with the United States' strategic economic and military objectives.
If you are calling SomeType.SomeMethod(a, b, c) then you don't know what combintions of a, b, c could allocate unless you can peek into it or try every combination of a, b and c. So it's hard to know in the general case even with profiling and testing.
I hear ya. It's a cruel situation. I've likened it to building an asthma clinic on top of a mountain: if I could jump through all these hoops, I probably wouldn't need the help in the first place.

I absolutely, 100%, completely agree that the medicine is only a small part of it. I have a hundred little rituals and coping mechanisms that had let me manage my life without it. Small examples:

- Appointments go straight to my calendar the instant I schedule something. If something's not on my calendar, it doesn't exist. I make liberal use of early reminders, too.

- I'm not a GTD purist, but I track it pretty closely. When I say I'll do something, I put it in my inbox. Same as with my calendar: if a to-do isn't in my to-do app, it's not getting to-done. There's nothing I've committed to that isn't in one of those 2 places.

There are plenty of others that I've been doing so long that they're unconscious habit.

These are the things that work for me. If the things you talk about work for you, and other people are willing to pay you to help get them on track, excellent!

There's little enforcement happening in those threads anyway—they're too free-form, and manual intervention is too expensive. But adding a rule should hopefully still make a difference.
At large tech companies, the pay is entirely driven by level and rating; so there's no savings in salary; just added costs to comply with the directive.
