Lots of comments about how Amazon, Netflix and Uber suck today. But the author’s point is about what these companies brought to customers when they started (and before getting enshitified).

Interestingly, all of them became the anti-thesis of the article in the end.
If it shows a good result for Apple then it's perfectly accurate, otherwise it's flawed.

I'm seeking to work with Rust (which I know very well and am quite good at its advanced features).

I have 8 years of professional experience (in addition to further experience).

I'm skilled at foreseeing how APIs should balance simplicity with flexible capability and what should be exposed or not, as appropriate for the level of the layer at hand. I enjoy using my lower-level knowledge to improve higher-level usage. I'm excellent at making clean, robust, maintainable code with great comments, and at doing debugging, research, and reviewing. I'm good at figuring-out and fixing complex bugs in multithreading. I've both maintained codebases as well as designed and implemented high-reliability high-performance parts, and so I know how to make the various aspects correct the first time.

I'm open to either a long-term position or a contract.

For the past 5 years I have been building security tooling that internal teams can make use of. I work closely with other teams to help improve the security posture of their apps. I help write documentation and host department wide presentations to educate others about web app security and steps they can take to make apps more secure. I took on the responsibility of managing our H1 Bug Bounty Program which previously was failing SLA targets by 10+ months and managed to bring it down to days. I have helped mentor interns and junior developer and also been active in conducting pair programming interviews for future candidates. What you get from me is a go-getter, self-motivated individual. I am always looking to improve not only myself but also my work.

You’re assuming that a startup has more money than a larger company. Why?

And since when has a company’s reputation stopped them from doing business?
Same for me, in a Mac Studio. It's only 2 years old so it's not like I would expect it to suck, but it's a rocket.
Game performance is often GPU bound, not CPU bound.
I am not a fan of subscriptions but old versions of Photoshop were also lifetime licenses and a 10y old professional software still works exactly the same now as 10 years ago. Yet I don't see much professional gfx artists and workers claiming they are still using the old licensed software instead of whining about the sub. Is this trolling or are people just slave of the lure of the newest and latest?

I like new useful functionnalities as anyone but if the licensing model change and I don't like it, I am also content with not having them. The key us to not taste/knowing about them. Ignorance is bliss sometimes.
+1 to this post. Ex-Microsoft employee here (left last year after 7 years) and I agree completely with the parent.

The article makes mountains out of molehills. Every large company has its own culture and its own BS. Having worked at many over my career, Microsoft’s was better than most (actually, I’d say it was better than all of them).

The evidence base for general usage of antibiotic prophylaxis in open “uncontaminated” wounds in otherwise healthy people ain’t great.

Depends on what kind of antibiotics they’re talking about, exact location/depth, their health status and what you’d call “uncontaminated” or not. Not really enough info to judge.

Sure, public transit isn’t “clean”, but it’s going to be cleaner than the average human/animal bite or fall into a manure pile.

Sure you’ll hear case reports from the people that didn’t get antibiotics and had a bad outcome, but antibiotics can cause bad outcomes too, from resistance, impaired wound healing from topicals and things like C Diff. Plus added time+cost.
IMO it really ought not to be. It's exposing - and critiquing, if a bit too forcefully and perhaps not exceptionally well - aspects of the corporate culture of one of the biggest companies in tech. Seems very relevant to HN.

But: HN probably has a lot of loyal Microsofties who might be taking a kind of personal offence to Zitron's caricaturization of their company culture, a lot of folks who work at similar large-corps with similar cultures who feel attacked by proxy, and probably a fair number of MBA/founder-types who've similarly bought into the "growth mindset" Kool-Aid. So the argument (I guess) is that it's probably a little bit too polemical to make for meaningful discussion: if you're insulting the personal values of a large segment of the commenterati, it's probably going to make things too heated to ask everyone to remain level-headed and thoughtful.

Thanks for your feedback! Very good point on the naming. fwiw the idea was if you buy a cinema ticket, you are usually presented with some sort of seating plan and select the seat (basically putting them into the shopping cart). So SeatSelected would be the equivalent of "ItemAdded" to the shopping cart in an e-commerce application I guess.
Please don't over-interpret the example. There isn't even a definition what that booking aggregate contains. The point was really only to say that in order to differentiate the events, we don't necessarily need distinct types (which would result in multiple schemas on a topic), but can instead encode it in one type/schema. Think of it like mapping in ORM - instead of "table per subclass", you can use "table per class hierarchy".

> I joined Microsoft as a hater of pretty much everything Microsoft.

I feel like there's a story there that I'd love to read if you're willing to share (or have already written about it elsewhere).
That's one way to view it. Another is the benchmark doesn't intend to measure the "peak multi-core CPU performance" the article assumes multi-core score is meant to measure. It's really measuring something more like mixed workload performance.
Spot one thing that do not belongs there.
Sometimes even not opening any apps is not enough if Spotlight decides that now is the time to update its index or something similar. Honestly nuts looking back at it.
For sure. I had one of those for work when I got my personal M1 Air and I couldn't believe how much faster it was. A fanless ultraportable faster than an 8-core i9!

I was so happy when I finally got an M1 MBP for work because as you say Docker is so much faster on it. I feel like I don't wait for anything anymore. Can't even imagine these new chips.
When I said that abortion protestors don't seem sincere in their claim that abortion is murder, I said that because there's a huge gap between the intensity of their rhetoric (claiming that abortion is murder) and the their actions, which 99% of the time amount to little more than whining on social media. A very small minority resort to some form of vigilantism, those few probably believe their own rhetoric but the rest of them are full of hot air.

But this argument also applies to the "You're killing Grandma!" crowd. Very few truly believe that refusing to take a vaccine is a murderous act, and that's why the most they do about it is whine online.

In both cases you have people using very hyperbolic rhetoric to support a position they don't actually feel so strongly about. Very typical of American politics.

That's a great question -- lots of experiments will be going into the future versions o Oasis. There are quite a few different possibilities here and we'll have to experiment with them a lot.

The nice thing is that we can run tons of experiments at once. For Oasis v1, we ran over 1000 experiments (end-to-end training a 500M model) on the model arch, datamix, etc., before we created the final checkpoint that's deployed on the site. At Decart (we just came out of stealth yesterday: https://www.theinformation.com/articles/why-sequoias-shaun-m...) we have 2 teams: Decart Infrastructure and Decart Experiences. The first team provides insanely fast infra for training/inferencing (writes from scratch everything from CUDA to redoing the python garbage collector) -- we are able to get a 500M model to converge during training in ~20h instead of 1-2 weeks. Then, Decart Experiences uses this infra to create these new types of end-to-end "Generated Experiences"

Whenever I read Ed's posts - well, the two I've read, this one and the one he did on Google Search a few months back - I can't help but feel like "this kinda guy who's allergic to BS is exactly the sort of CEO I'd like to work for"

But I can't, because Zitron's not a CEO of a multi-trillion dollar tech company, and guys like Nadella or Pichai are. I'm not sure what that means - is Zitron full of BS, or is the world?
Thanks for your feedback. I realize I should have elaborated the example a bit more, it's too vague. So, as I wrote in some other reply as well, please don't over-interpret it. The point was only to say that in order to differentiate the events, we don't necessarily need distinct types (which would result in multiple schemas on a topic), but can instead encode it in one type/schema. Like mapping in ORM - instead of "table per subclass", you can use "table per class hierarchy".

Haha, obviously pmarca. But it might be a good place for VC's to rent, to scope out potential targets.
One language that comes to mind is ReasonML. It doesn't have runtime checking. It's structural and compile time, but the guarantees are supposedly cast iron. https://reasonml-old.github.io/guide/language/type#design-de...

type thing =
| String(string)
| Bool(bool);

let arr: list(thing) = [];

let add = (item: thing, dst: list(thing)): list(thing) => {
switch (item) {
| String(s) => dst @ [String(s)]
| Bool(b) => dst @ [Bool(b)]
};
};

let newList = add(String("asd"), arr);

This doesn't work, since the dst array has to be one that can contain both string and bool in the first place.

Ask HN: I collect IP address of users, but do not store it. Am I GDPR compliant?
For a side project of mine, I collect the IP address of users, log it to my server where the country of the user is identified(using ipinfo.io in the backend) and is saved in the database. Since I'm not storing the IP address as such, am I GDPR compliant? Do I need to add a consent banner?

I just store the country name.

Making a wacky 2-steps announcement protocol doesn't change the nature of your events.

If the consumer goes to your database and asks "what's the data for customer 123 at event F52A?" it better always get back the same data or "that event doesn't exist, everything you know is wrong".
I thought you were just being snarky, but I went and looked, and wow, it really is all "AI": https://www.ycombinator.com/companies?batch=F24

Without looking carefully, I can't tell which ones are generative AI / boiling the oceans to bullshit you; it's possible that some of these are legit uses of machine learning, which existed before ChatGPT and will hopefully continue to exist in the future. But I bet it's all ethically questionable bullshit.

Forerunner AI jumps out as a likely ethical black hole, based on its one line description "Copilot for aerospace engineers making rockets, munitions, satellites." On top of code theft, water use, emissions, and the many other horrors of Copilot and its ilk, we can also add war profiteering.

> Legally, you can probably use the Google Books API for a project like this (whereas I couldn't due to their rules). Or, you could also use Open Library since you don't need great data quality, only the title and author to get this running. For me it was some of the other quality issues that made it not worth my time back then.

I think, UX wise I'd be in a similar position to you, since 1.) I'd need a short description of the book as well, and 2.) definitely in german, too. So, I'd probably have to create a lot of data myself.

I'd definitely use this. Are you planning on adding a lot more interactivity/"blogging" features on the reader side?

It'll be interesting to see the development in the next year, big plans! I'll definitely keep an eye on the site.

Amazon is similar. Their service is essentially to make buying the random, weirdly-named products from China as “safe” and convenient as possible. (By “safe” I mean a bare minimum of having a generous return policy. Not that they are actually vetting safety.)

I would place Temu, Alibaba, and TikTok shop somewhere on that same spectrum of safety.
Loads of space in Zone 2 and beyond. Near to me are huge retail parks with parking that are basically relics of the 80s. The land would be worth far more as housing. You can't easily build housing on them because you won't get permission and if you did you'd be forced to build "affordable housing" e.g. give up a ton of the profits. So no-one does it.
