Well you could have a negotiation like so:

Recruiter: The offer is $100k.

Me: I want 120k and WFH.

Recruiter: I checked with the manager. The best we can do is either 120k but you show up every day or 90k remote.

Me: I'm already paid 110k and work remote. Sorry.

Recruiter: Oh, alright. We can't afford that. We'll continue our search with other candidates. Thanks for your time.

Both "options" presented by the recruiter are "alternatives" and they're both "negotiated agreements" (i.e. a meeting in the middle).

BATNA is short for what you get when negotiations fail and you walk away with no deal. (In this case, staying at the 110k remote job is one party's, the other party's is to keep interviewing more candidates.)

I had once had this aversion to neologisms for the sake of them too. Then I took some math classes and understood that saying "ring" is better than saying "commutative group with multiplication satisfying the following axioms...". Ultimately, it's helpful to invoke words that a group of people commonly understands, even if it seems to the uninitiated that it's saying nothing of importance.

The word "BATNA" is used a lot in discussions on negotiations. These books are full of tips on thinking about/finding out your counterpart's BATNA, coming to the negotiation table with a strong BATNA, conveying your BATNA to the other person, etc. In this context, the word/acronym conveys a very specific meaning that unspecialized English words like "option" and "alternative" don't capture.
I wholeheartedly agree.

I think it's more important to talk about the services they use than what device they're on.

And most problematic services already have an age limit. It's the parents' damn job to make sure their kids are prepared for the usage of those services.

I'm more worried about the youtube-consumption on the PC than chatting with class-mates about school-related questions via smartphone.
I don’t think it is appropriate to say Rust has ‘union types’. Rust has sum types, implemented as Enums and (unsafe) Union types. There is a distinct difference between sum types and union types from a type theoretic perspective.
This is a MIP. CBC is an open source solver with a very basic implementation of branch & bound, cuts and search heuristics.

Any modern commercial solver (Gurobi, Xpress, IBM-CPLEX, COPT) can solve problems of this size pretty fast.
Is this really so different from any other mobile derived GPU?
Most CPUs suitable to implement such a protocol can do endian swapping for free e.g. a load+bswap instruction, a microarchitecture that fuses load+bswap. Don't worry about byte swapping fixed sized int across the network. Just keep in mind that for some applications it maters e.g. most bignum operations favour little endian, but databases profit from big endian (memcmp sorts in numerical order).
I have a comparison to make here that involves cable news, but that would be off topic.
> Doesn't it seem like in < 10 years there will be dozens of autonomous, affordable home-robots?

If you buy the hype, sure. I know many startups that have already gone bust working on this. I've also seen lots of similar attempts in laboratories around the world going back well over a decade.

> One last note, they call this generalist, but each of the examples is quite specific from a macro perspective. Yes the robot can fold maybe any pile of crumpled laundry now and that is generalist compared to previous efforts, but it does seem like we shouldn't try to train bots how to do billions of tasks in specific detail; rather they should learn to learn and take on new tasks they weren't trained for.

You are starting to see how difficult the problem is and how limited the solutions are. You're basically saying "let's just give the robots general AI and everything will be so much easier!"
I did both this and the Nand2Tetris course before realizing that they are implementing the same computer -- this is an interactive graphical version, while the original Nand2Tetris uses a textual HDL where you write down the connections between logic gates as text, instead of clicking and dragging to indicate them.

I found them both fun and educational, but I thought the NandGame was more fun. But it's good to know about the connections, for example because there are more follow-on exercises that you can do from Nand2Tetris (working with higher layers of computer software) after you complete the NandGame. Or you can just be aware that you can talk about the experience and the substance with people who have done the other version!
You are talking about IPOs and other secondary stock offers.

During secondary stock offers, Investors will care about how much value the addition funds will create relative to cash put in.

Still, this is different than a percent profit margin on sales. Investors care about the total profit, not the percent margin.

going back to the actual situation, EV's lowering the percent profit margin doesnt matter as long as they are increating the total profit.

If you sell 1 million gas cars at 20% profit, and can sell 1 million EVs at 10% margin, you are still better off selling the EVs and taking the 15% margin on 2 million cars.

The idea that ford is dialing back production because it lowers their percent margin isnt a realistic justification. especially after the funds have been sunk in manufacturing.
That's what Apple was doing. After their settlement with DOJ, Apple posts jobs on their job board as well.

Thinking about incentive alignment, non ad-based search would be better than ad-based, but there'd still be misalignment due to the problem of self-promotion. Consider Twitter for example. Writing viral tweets isn't about making money (at least until recently), but the content is even worse than SEO spam. There is also the other side of the problem that our monkey brains don't want content that's good for us in the long run. I would _love_ to see (or make) progress in solving this, but this problem is really hard. I thought about it a lot, and can't see an angle of attack.

100% on your last sentence. There is a massive misplacement of ego in our fellow countrymen that loves to posture as an arbiter of morality and rationality, but has no pomp left over for their individual upward mobility. Very very bizarre and self defeating.
Actually, that’s exactly my point. The “thing” is always trivial to the person making the statement.

The “just” refers to ignoring that other factors are involved.

If your personal goal is to convert X people to do something, you are accounting for it.

If your goal is a specific call to action to have people voluntarily join you, you are accounting for it.

If you’re stating a lot of people need to change, you’re acknowledging the scope of the problem.

If you’re doing these things, you can make a difference. Go do the thing! Have others join you!

If you say everyone should just do it and walk away thinking you have the solution to the problem, you don’t. :)
This is a duplicate thread. Can some mod merge them oO? I don't know how this works on HN.
I have built and managed more 10 production codebases that use Hasura -- IMO, I think it's a better option than Supabase, Payload, and others to build your backend. The fact that they are investing time in LLM-related resources for the platform makes me happy we choosed it back when.

LLM's and a framework that's structured and clear enough for LLM's to understand (if you have used Payload CMS and built blocks, fields, or other, this is also an example) has droven a lot of growth in my company. People that took more than 6 months to be productive in our codebases are becoming much more productive way sooner -- and this is not only because Sonnet and 4o are so good, but because we also have tools that put effort in to making sure LLM understand them, and Hasura is one of them.
Definitely agree. I haven't played in some years, but when I did Apex Legends netcode was atrocious. They were clearly putting most of the workload onto the client, rather than letting the server arbitrate.

I think you've nailed the reason why these rootkits keep getting added, but I feel like there must be something else these game companies want... Why do they keep adding it to single player games for example?

They HAVE to be assumed to be hostile bad actors. I definitely hope valve stands their ground on this one.
Yes, actually we finally found a house that was affordable for us last year, and made lot work in it, including wall isolation, changing windows, and install a heat pump, replacing the oil-for hearing system that was in place. Heat pumps are clearly on the rise around here, contrary to AC. There is of course no magic regarding electricity price here, but oil provision and prices are also big unknowns, all the more with the state pushing oil-fire systems out of market as a legal option.
March was the beginning of the year not all that long ago.

That's why there frequent confusion about George Washington's birthday, along with other historical dates of that era: The New Year started in March when he was born, but changed to January during his lifetime (The British Empire switched in 1752). So being born in February, there's an ambiguity about the year, unless you specify which calendar you mean:

"George Washington was born on February 22, 1732, according to the Gregorian calendar. However, when he was born, the Julian calendar was in use, which would have placed his birth on February 11, 1731."
It's supposed to be vague and confusing, it's part of the clickbait.

Hey there! Will, author here. Thanks for the question!

On batch processing: one thing we've found is that customers often use tools such as Halcyon's to do research or build models; they basically want a matrix of questions (each with a fixed structured output format) and filters, so we've spent a bunch of effort enabling folks to easily produce these types of "spreadsheets".

On targeted notifications: Halcyon is constantly ingesting new data from a huge number of sources, so we can use our query pipeline to figure out which new documents are important to pay attention to and what they mean in context. For example (and trying not to delve too deeply into the world of energy), if Tesla files a comment on the rate case of a major California utility, we can figure out that (a) Tesla is an important party; (b) what Tesla's arguments are; and (c) how those arguments relate to the (potentially thousands) of filings that make up the rate case to date. We can summarize all that and notify folks who are interested in California rate cases.

Virtually every time I feel like I'm not getting good results with a particular query in DuckDuckGo, I switch to Google to try it (I otherwise never use it), and 90% of the time now I get nothing better. That did not happen in the past—Google was a reliable backup plan. Now my expectations are quite low.

I have no idea about Bing because I never use it, though my understanding is DuckDuckGo uses Bing as one of its data sources.

tomato potato - if one company has a calculator app and someone makes a different one that is exactly the same.. it sucks, it is what is is. Look at all the 'todo list' apps on HN alone.

regardless, they are making other ones (see gutenberg fields blocks) - but they HAD to re-make this exact one, because so many themes and plugins already use the exact code (2 million active install depend on it working) -

- they also depend on it being secure, so more reason - but whatever.

Anyone can rip off any gpl plugin in the repo at anytime, it's not outrageous.

Automatt does not own all the directories in the world, come on.

You can flourish with a 6 figure plugin or theme business and only be listed at themeforest or envato for starters.

I'm not here to defend the whole kerfuckle - I think things should of gone slower from both sides, I find it reprehensible that all sides went to level 10 so quickly - but as more details come out, it appears this issues have been brewing much longer than we initially knew and got surprised by.

It is not defending the indefensible - it makes sense, and its' not worse than what apple did to fortnite and so many others, its no different that what happened with wpmudev back in the day - so many others..

Truth is the owners of acf/engine were riding high making lots of money while using WP resources, they got asked to pony up some resources, they refused.
They got blocked from the free resources they depended on (and so many of their subscribers depended on)

The nice thing is WP and co have made a full copy of all the things available to them to host on their own servers and the GPL allows them to fork and make their wordpress sites pull from their own directory.

Wpengine has taken a very adverserial stance that may save it some money this year, but may cost them more in the years to come.

Wordpress has also suffered some reputational damage, but it's more of a wakeup call that you should not live by someone else's code or directory and these issues are possible.

These sorts of things have happened many times in the past in smaller ways, like wordpress changing code that breaks premium themes like Salient - well we all spend resources to adapt or we don't spend resources and keep things using the old version of WP for example.

Hey if it's your plugin I agree it sucks, but hey you made (they bought) a plugin that is GPL, sharecropping on someone else's code base and directory.

Live and learn but don't suddenly say someone using GPL in various ways is indefensible - it's not like they pretended to give exclusive lifetime license to use this or that thing.

and it was all free - sheesh.
We don’t wait. We tell the kids they can have once when they can buy it themselves. In our experience that usually happens when they are about 17.

Yea, the whole "Scope your search to reddit" idea always comes up, but it just seems like a really terrible idea. How does one know for sure that the results from Reddit are any more accurate or authoritative than random SEO spam? There's very little curation or moderation there--anyone could post anything there. I could go there and comment on a subject that I have zero expertise in, make it sound confidently correct, and your reddit-scoped search might find it. Why would you trust it?
What’s funny is that web search was one of the first “chatgpt plugins” in the market, which flopped terribly. This is basically a rebrand of that.

I have been playing online games for 30 years, and you are leaving out a TON of the value you get from centralized hosting and matchmaking.

At any time of day or night, I can just sign in and immediately find a match. In addition, it can match me against players that are close to my skill level so the games I play are fair and challenging. I can keep my statistics to see how I do over time in those fair and challenging games.

This is a very valuable service.

I have played on plenty of community hosted servers, and the experience is hit or miss. Sometimes, you will get power hungry mods who ban anyone who is better than them, or won’t ban the cheaters because they are friends. Without the anti cheat tools, it is often very hard to distinguish people who are really good and people who are cheating, so you leave it up to the whims of the moderators.

Yes, you could tell me to just go and find a different server, but I don’t want to spend my time trying to find a good server I just want to play… and who knows if the good server I find will still be around the next time I play.

I have thousands of hours on both types of games, and for any sort of competing games (whether FPS, RTS, or sports), I get a lot more enjoyment out of centralized matchmaking with anticheat.
FWIW, I didn't read it as criticism; more like "Hmm, that's odd. I wonder why..."
Yeah it always makes me feel like they are going to be more than happy to waste my time since they waste their own with such things.

It’s a picture of a parabola if someone put the y axis at the dotted line not the origin. If you want to bargain with people - and this fictional conversation is a negotiation - then don’t anchor the people on bad values.
* It's OK to fabricate about a company doing some ridiculous thing, because it's activism, and they are getting attention to their cause.

I shifted a large 20+ year news publication from Wordpress to ghost about 18 months ago - and opted to use Ghost(Pro)

It’s been a dream. The core product for that site is a daily newsletter. On ghost it gets higher opens rates and more engagement than via the previous email backend. Build is far simpler too.

The clincher for me for Ghost(Pro) is that if you use your own hosted version of Ghost you need to plug into something else for sending email newsletters - which for the number of subscribers in this instance for a daily newsletter plus weekly wrap-up would cost a fortune. With Ghost(Pro) it’s all wrapped in. And their support is superb.
I really haven't been able to understand why "managing the Python version" is such a big value add for so many people. I just have each version built from source and make venvs from them as needed.

Importantly, WordPress.com is not a predominant WP host! (Which is part of why Matt is lashing out, I think.) Yes, it hosts a huge number of small sites, many for free, but Automattic’s revenue comes from a lot of products. (Including e-commerce and enterprise.) There are a large number of healthy WordPress hosts. https://w3techs.com/technologies/overview/web_hosting

Getting outcompeted is less of a bad thing as you make it out to be. Ghost is clearly not trying to be the most popular option. They only need to make just enough to survive and pay everyone. That is way easier than trying to grow 30% YoY for a long time. Capitalists and founders talk about how if you’re not growing, your product could be better because people could like it even more. Who gives a shit if profit isn’t your MO?

Literally all they have to do is avoid a scenario where no one wants to use them. If a competitor becomes the de facto choice and they start loosing customers, they can still make adjustments. That is a lot easier than trying to be a high-growth company.
