"Flimsily-founded grift psychology" is par for the course in large institutions. Plenty of companies have what I call "mandatory psychobabble training", in which unproven or discredited psychological theories, many of those from or closely wedded to the human potential movement of the 1970s, are presented as truth to employees, who are then forced to evaluate themselves or each other according to bullshit criteria and then come up with action plans to take advantage of their new psycho-identity. Myers-Briggs, DISC, everything has been tried.

It's all malarkey and a waste of people's precious time and oxygen. But if you want to succeed in the corporate world, as Leah Remini's mother told her when she read the OT III materials in Scientology, "you don't have to believe in it, you just have to do it."

Sigh. Something always creeped me out about Satya, especially when he hit the interview circuit after the first Recall drop. With Ballmer, at least you knew what he was just by looking at him. He was fantastic at one thing: being Bill's bulldog. Everything he did was continuing Bill's initiatives because he sincerely believed in them. The Ballmer Strategy was "Windows, Windows, Windows" (yes, and "developers, developers, developers"). He believed that if you put Windows on a thing or made it require Windows, developers would come because they loved Windows. But Windows was popular because it was on every PC, because of Bill's aggressive OEM licensing strategy, not because of intrinsic properties of Windows itself.

Satya is... different. He's like that smiling guy from the first Deadpool movie. He will get you to commit to things with serious bite-you-in-the-ass-later properties, with a smile on his face, whether it be Recall or this "growth mindset" stuff.
Like what? The first thing devs think to automate is their own work, so we already have automated ways to do everything (including writing code now).
I was always under the impression that students who go to out of state college (some are because this is where they got accepted) will go and claim in state tuition after living the minimum (I think 1 year in most states) because they become residents of this state. So you basically pay the out of state tuition for the first year then in state after that. But the housing and food plans at most university (which is usually forced on first year students adds up to be an expensive).

San Francisco Compute | Multiple Roles | San Francisco | ONSITE

We're building a new, regulated, commodity market for large scale GPU clusters. More like the Kalshi, less like craigslist. To accomplish this, we make a VM orchestrator called "Fog" that understands InfiniBand, GPUs, and heterogeneous hardware setups.

We make money by taking a flat fee of a few cents per GPU hour upon delivery. Up until recently, we've been "running a market" via a spreadsheet, by selling bursts on very large clusters (think 6 to 8 figures deal sizes).

SFC started because Alex (https://alexgajewski.org/) & I went to go train an audio model and none of the vendors at the time would sell us a month-long contract. So we bought a year-long one, and tried to sublease it at cost (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=36933603), so that way we could buy just one month.

The goal of the company is the same: we want to make it possible to buy a big, giant training cluster for a short time period. We think a liquid market will let you spend $40m for a month instead of $300m for a year. If we can't make that happen, then only the big labs will get to make AI.

Most of our code is in rust, some typescript. We're about ~20 people. We raised $12m a bit ago. There are 7 ex-founders on the team.

We'd love to work with you! I'll bet you're cool.

Deflation favors debt payors instead of debt issuers/servicers, and our whole economy is constructed to favor the latter group, because having a "healthy" system of debt supports faster economic growth than a system with no debt. (in theory). The whole raison d'etre of free-floating govt-supplied fiat currency is to make deflation impossible.

We haven't had real deflation since bretton woods, when we gave up the gold standard.

Same here. I used SciTE and Notepad++ way back in the day, probably 20-ish years ago. They were my first taste of useful light-ish weight text editors (with more features than plain old Notepad). Since then I no longer use windows as my daily driver and ended up settling on Vim, but I'm forever indebted to both SciTE and Notepad++ for opening my eyes.

> Apple Weather requires this awkward tap and drag gesture to see actual temperature values through the day.

You mean scrolling horizontally to see the values?

It's not an awkward tap and drag, it's just scrolling.

But if you don't like scrolling (which I understand), then just tap without dragging, and it'll show you a full-screen graph with a curve representing the temperature throughout the whole day. It's fantastic.

The interface doesn't make it clear that it's tappable, I'll certainly admit. But I hope that helps you. The graph view only got added maybe a couple of years ago, and I think a lot of people maybe still don't know about it.

That's true for American insurance, too.

As a bonus, our uncovered procedures are often wildly more expensive.

While I am also very sad about DarkSky, it doesn't always go that way. Shazam was purchased by Apple many years ago, and many people have no idea. It still a stand alone app, but got control center options and Siri integration (even for those who didn't have the app installed). While the app does push Apple Music a bit, it's largely clean and without other ads, which would probably not be the case if they were still on their own.

How Pixelmator goes will largely depend on their plan. Do they want an app in this space, the spiritual successor to MacPaint, or did they just want the underlying tech (and maybe the team) to add a couple features to Photos? If it's a new value-added app, I think it's great. If they are just going to add some minor tweaks to Photos and throw the rest away, that would be pretty horrible.

I was a Pixelmator user from its launch, but switched to Affinity a few years ago. If Apple does something good, I probably won't be tempted to buy the next version of Affinity whenever it comes out. I'm a very occasional user.
We use barycentric (both in high performance software rasterizers and in hardware) because attribute interpolation is significantly more costly than in-bounds checking (both due to the total number of interpolates, and the precision). The in-bounds check is going to be just a few instructions (a few fmas and some sign checking) for two dimensions (x, y); whereas attribute interpolation could be needed for 30–128 'dimensions'. It's easier to push the interpolation to the use-site in the fragment shader, and let the compiler do its magic.

Ask HN: Has Anyone Tried Single File Development with IDE Code Collapse?
I've been exploring a different approach to organizing my projects by keeping all the code in a single file and taking advantage of the code collapse feature available in most modern IDEs. I'm curious if anyone else has tried this and what their experiences have been.

One of the primary benefits I've found is easier code portability. With all the code in a single file, you can simply drop the file into your project without worrying about dependencies or file organization. Refactoring also becomes more straightforward since you can see all the related code in one place, making it easier to update dependencies and related functions. Additionally, LLM assistants often perform better with code completion when all the code is in one file, as they can access the entire context more easily.

I've noticed that other projects also take a single file approach. For instance, SQLite concatenates all its C files when it's built, there are single file header projects like STB^1 that tout ease of use, and even the .NET garbage collector^2 is a single 56k file. So, this approach is not entirely unprecedented. With modern editing tools, this method seems more viable than ever before. What does everyone think?

A few months ago I learned to solve the classic 3x3x3 using the beginner's method [0]. Basically, you memorize a set of algorithms based on the current state of the cube and what overall stage of solving you're at (you first solve the white layer, then the middle layer, then the final layer).

What's funny is that I feel no compulsion to learn other methods, no compulsion to get faster at it, no compulsion to move up to larger cubes like 4x4x4 etc.

I just find it soothing and meditative. In fact, doing a few cubes has replaced some amount of doom-scrolling for me. Hard to describe exactly. Scratches some hand-eye / brain-motor itch.

>Probably contributing more towards local business.

Practically nobody can afford to do this. Everywhere is about nickel and diming people to be present there. Society has a very terribly serious rent-seeking problem.

Expected value for most people's interactions economically is negative, meaning they pay more out than they receive for their other inputs. How else does the casin... err social entitlement ponzis, do-no-work bureaucracies and administrations, etc, survive? Somebody pays the house.

What is needed is very high corporate taxes, and high taxes on any rent-based (interest, service fees [Netflix, Spotify, your ISP], etc) income after deductions but before dividends or buybacks. We must realign our society back to production if we want to return to material wealth and not end up navel-gazing in poverty like S. Asia.* We can do each others haircuts and oil changes until we're out of clippers and oil, but if not enough clippers and oil are being produced then we're all going to be materially poorer as GNP rises.

(* Spidey's conspiracy-sense: I wonder if some of the push for mindfulness and other S. Asian esoterism lately isn't an attempt at a civilizational software patch on the West, using memetic components evolved to deal with abject poverty in the S. Asian continent over centuries, in preparation for an upcoming sundowning of western economic hegemony. Statecraft has as one of its requisites maintaining order and decorum of the citizen-human livestock.)

Usually the problem isn't just arbitrary restrictions or prevention of house building in the US, it's an issue of both amount of available land and how insanely large real estate managers/developers are. For example, if you wanted to avoid renting from a Greystar-owned property it is almost impossible considering the amount of property they own. That outsized effect allows them to raise rent far higher than they would otherwise. They also have a tendency to monopolize development so there really is zero escape from their management, new buildings are immediately bought and integrated into the mass.

That's without getting into price fixing behaviors through things like RealPage. I originally moved away from Austin after my apartment had a 30% rent increase, and this was far away from the core in Austin (Cedar Park).
>Have you ever attended an all hands that couldn’t have been an email?

With the benefit of Linux and its filesystem being super (natively) fast in WSL2.

What I've very often done is use command line tools like compilers, search&replace etc inside WSL2, in a Windows terminal. You have the benefits of speed and all the CLI tools of the Linux world. And then have the GUIs, like vscode, running on Windows. Vscode has its server running on the WSL side, so still very good performance.

Best of both worlds, since the GUIs and the CLIs are tightly integrated.
They claimed that it wasn't covered because the machine was brought in Germany. I live in The Netherlands and brought it here. Also I contacted Apple Support to checked my serial number and then gave me the address to take it to. Which I did.

They charged me $100 to get my machine back without repair.

Also bear in mind that the EU is a single market, warranties etc are, by law, required to be honoured over the ENTIRE single market. Not just one country.

Especially when the closest Apple Store to me is IN GERMANY.
