H1b should be a bid salery to play not first to apply. That is we will allow x of them, when you sponser someone you commit to paying them some salary for the full term - no layoffs (you get fire for cause but that is a legal thing they can take you to court for , and the courts can force you to give back pay if it wasn't a good cause) , you should know your budget can afford them. , someone who really is the best , offer them a million dollars to be sure they get in , just a warm body , if they don't get in who cares.

There are ways to abuse the above, but note they can always quit.
> Alex Jones was declared to be in default for failing to provide a document that never existed in the first place.

You've said this numerous times. It isn't true.

> In her ruling, Bellis criticized Jones’ attorney for providing only “sanitized, inaccurate” financial records and showed “callous disregard” for her repeated rulings to provide complete analytics data. She found Jones’ attorneys actions “were not just careful” but constituted “a pattern of obstructive conduct” requiring the most severe sanction of default, what she called a “last resort,” as reported by the Hartford Courant.

It was for a pattern of behavior, not any single document. Speaking of patterns of behavior, you've now left three increasingly unhinged replies to my single comment. Whatever impression it is you're trying to create, I don't think it's working.
I’ve found this to be especially true of the great business minded devs that I’ve come across. They’re not giving you crap for free. Pardon my French.
Well, it's been shady for at least 2.5 decades.

You really feel that anything that is not directly on the home page does not matter? A link to a separate document explicitly named as containing the conditions of license, warranty and such should not count?

Seems like an absurd view to me.

For all that I think RedHat is not a poor hobbyist and morally at fault. It's just a different matter altogether. The terms under which the software is provided are clearly spelled and in public view. You're just inventing a reason to disregard them.
I'm only half way through that and it IS good, but I wish they wouldn't burn so much valuable time on recaps of the history that has already been told in so many other interviews, and get on to talking about the real changes we should expect going forward.
I had to look up the info because I wasn't sure really, so I appreciate the direct question. It means 'directory' or 'conf.d pattern'. So you have your config file, and the config directory that contains "parts" of the config to be merged with the main one to provide customizations/overrides.
After 2FA, the previous PyPI buzzword that was forced on everyone, JFrog discovered a key leak that compromised everything:

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=40941809

JFrog also discovered multiple malicious package exploits later.

Now we get a Github centric new buzzword that could be replaced by trusted SHA256 sums. Python is also big on business speak like SBOM. The above key leak of course occurred after all these new security "experts" manifested themselves out of nowhere.

The procedure remains the same. Download a package from the original creators, audit it, use a local repo and block PyPI.
Ah, that was a human voice over? I really wish they hadn't done the voice thing as I found it distracting. The emotion felt all off and misleading. I guess it's better than an AI voice at least but a traditional voice mask would have been better IMO
Incorrect. Clock speed is not a 1:1 correlation with cycle efficiency. There are plenty of "slow" single-cycle architectures with very good cycle efficiency, and there are many architectures like the older P4 that have very poor cycle efficiency to chase the MHz wars.

WPEngine Accuses Automattic of WordPress Monopoly Abuse in New Lawsuit [pdf]
The law says I can’t submit the I-140 application, which I follow the law and I don’t submit it.

As a people manager it’s a heartbreaking conversation to have - to tell a report their dream of staying beyond their visa is gone

The law says every line manager needs to do their own industry pulse check every time an i-140 is submitted. And this is the only legal way to pulse check (advertise a ghost job). It would be much easier if the federal government did the pulse check one time for everyone and decided if engineers are or aren’t missing in the industry

Yes, there are more candidates to choose from today than 5 years ago, but that just leaves more candidates. The hiring bar is higher, but the proportion of good Americans doesn't get higher.

Sure you can get a better American today than 2019, but you're comparing any one candidate to their competition and the company bar. If you want to deliberately hire Americans who interview worse than non Americans, you're breaking the law

> One can use both the goodness of vim AND LLMs at the same time. Why pick one, when you can pick both?

I mostly use manuals, books, and the occasional forum searches. And the advantage is that you pick surrounding knowledge. And more consistent writing. And today, I know where some of the good stuff are. You're not supposed to learn everything in one go. I built a knowledge map where I can find what I want in a more straightforward manner. No need to enter in a symbiosis with an LLM.

Seems like it would be beneficial to the community for someone to add some kind of a rating system for people posting in the HN hiring threads. I would expect at minimum to get a response.

People bond over mutual hatred even if they didn't come to that hatred on their own. Seems like for this song, it was during slow news period when a list of worst songs came out, and it went viral. Soon it became one of those things that everyone just repeated uncritically, like your mattress doubling in weight due to dead mites. There have been many lists of worst songs before that list and many since, but once "We Built This City" took hold in the collective cultural consciousness as being the worst, there was little that could be done to change the dominate opinion.
>You really feel that anything that is not directly on the home page does not matter?

No, that's not what I said.

When it comes to software like this (one of the most important components of your security architecture), hiding the fact that you wont fix vulnerabilities unless you feel like it halfway down in your legalese-filled license is unethical.

I think it's absurd that people are defending this position. We're not talking about a weather app made by Joe Somebody for a weekend project.

Never say never, but I do not plan on doing this. This sounds quite surreal: a loop where the students pretend to learn and I pretend to teach? I would… hm… I’ve never heard of such… I mean, this is definitely not how it is in reality… right…

As is part of the journey and story arc!
In EU, if you put an item on sale, you have to post the lowest price in the last 30 days to see if it's an actual sale or not (even though i'd consider 30 days a too short interval).

Why not have a similar regulation for job postings? Require companies to publish all the job posting history for the last few years, all the positions advertised and the number of people hired for those positions.

Prospective workers would see an ad, look at the history, see that the same position has been open for 3 years now with zero people hired and skip that company. Also companies would actually post their job ads only when they actually intend to hire someone.
It's not this geek's dream at all. Web-based applications tend to be a worse experience than non-web-based ones. Based on that alone, I'm not interested in "Web OS" concepts. I have other issues with the concept, but just that one is really enough.
You cannot quantify it. IMHO emotional damage is not a thing, at least in terms of people merely saying things about you. Have you not heard 'sticks and stones...'?

If someone claims false facts about you, and is credible, and that then has a material impact on you, then sure, that might be something for the law.

Otherwise we'd be prosecuting every gossip.
> The h1b program is supposed to be for people at the top of their field so they can skip the normal visa line

H1B is the normal visa line.
We like to wishfully think of human systems (software, government, anything) as immune systems that accumulate knowledge in the system itself over time so that it's increasingly resilient to the systemic problems it's encountered before.

Instead, human systems require eternal vigilance from the humans inside it. Even governmental systems which can encode knowledge into laws rely on the eternal vigilance of judges, prosecutors, and defenders to utilize that knowledge.

So GGz if you're writing a new subsystem in an OS and you're expected to learn from mistakes a team of two people made in some subsystem 20 years ago that someone quietly patched.

In 2023 there were 755,020 H1-B admittances. Why was it much easier to get a job in 2021? Because there were only 148,603 [1]. Notice that even though Republicans talked about immigration, neither party is talking about reducing H1-B filled roles. The kicker is if you’ve had a gap doing your own thing or because you were laid off and you apply for a job at a discount salary, you’re still not competitive against an H1-B worker because employers know you’d be able to trade up once you’ve been working for a few months.

They apparently also get fire-hosed with comments on the horrors of H1B hiring in a thread that is on green card application rules, i.e., all youb commenters on H1B did not even read the GP post. Those rules require advertising for a filled position, but don't require firing the current holder when you find a good candidate.

My favourite Gwern insight is “Bitcoin is Worse is Better”, where they summarize an extensive list of objections to Bitcoin and then ask if there’s a common thread:

No! What’s wrong with Bitcoin is that it’s ugly. … It’s ugly to make your network’s security depend solely on having more brute-force computing power than your opponents, ugly to need now and in perpetuity at least half the processing power just to avoid double-spending … It’s ugly to have a hash tree that just keeps growing … It’s ugly to have a system which can’t be used offline without proxies and workarounds … It’s ugly to have a system that has to track all transactions, publicly … And even if the money supply has to be fixed (a bizarre choice and more questionable than the irreversibility of transactions), what’s with that arbitrary-looking 21 million bitcoin limit? Couldn’t it have been a rounder number or at least a power of 2? (Not that the bitcoin mining is much better, as it’s a massive give-away to early adopters. Coase’s theorem may claim it doesn’t matter how bitcoins are allocated in the long run, but such a blatant bribe to early adopters rubs against the grain. Again, ugly and inelegant.) Bitcoins can simply disappear if you send them to an invalid address. And so on.

he wasn't paying for emotional damages done to the users of the internet. He was paying for emotional damages to 15 plaintiffs. 100 million is a lot of emotional suffering. Civil damages would have been lower if he killed the children himself. OJ paid 30 million civil damages for murder, and that was outstandingly high.

The courts might as well have assigned a 1 trillion dollars of damages.

I've used chatgpt to translate into one the local dialects here - very impressed. DeepL is OK if you know the language you're translating to - and knowing which alternative words work better in the translation.
That's great that you found a new spot.

I've seen other research and discussion on this topic. Some stats that may be validating for you (and others) to hear:

* There's a 0.08% job application -> offer rate when applying through LinkedIn (LI). An average of 1 in 1,250 applications lead to an offer

* The linked paper on this post finds that 21% of postings are ghost jobs, but I've seen credible estimates that the proportion is as high as 50%

* A Stanford survey found hundreds of fake LI profiles, AI-generated "recruiters" that are interacting with candidates and posting ghost jobs on behalf of big companies

* ~75% of resumes from qualified applicants are never seen by a human

* resumes get on average 6 to 8 seconds of consideration when they are reviewed by a human

* 300,000 jobs are outsourced annually (with respect to the US)

All this to say, you're right, something is fundamentally broken in the labor market, especially the tech labor market. And not that many people are talking about it, except for those of us who have been unfortunate enough to need to look for jobs in the past ~2 years.

In my own case, my previous employer (a startup) ran out of money and laid everyone off last Fall. I was fortunate enough to find a new position, but this job search was the hardest I've faced since 2008 - and it seems worse now than it was this time last year.
Yeah, such a relief to see content w/o super dense ad loads, etc. Very cool article.
Those companies are breaking the law. SpaceX was prosecuted for doing that.

I'm aware that it sounds like poverty. I'm just saying it's going to depend on the details. To people who live ordinary western lifestyles, everything outside of that sounds weird.

- ramen =/= cheap pot noodle type things. Ramen restaurants in Japan attest to this. It'll depend on context what that actually means in this case.

- 12k/year =/= no money, numbers like that make no sense outside of context. It depends on how much of it is disposable. You live in a hut with no rent, you grow food, you've no kids, no mortgage, no car, etc, these all matter.

- no healthcare =/= bad health. How many of the growing numbers of people dying from heart-related diseases in their 50s and 60s had healthcare? Didn't do much for them, in the end.

- collapsing floor =/= bad hygiene or something else actually potentially dangerous, as I said above, the nuisance this causes or doesn't cause depends on lots of actual real factors, it's not some absolute thing. It just sounds wild to people not used to it
Great interview but I wasn't a fan of how they handled the voice. Whether a human voice actor or an AI "voice actor", it inserted cadence, emphasis and emotion that I have no way of knowing if it was Gwern's original intention or not. Reading the transcript of the interview would probably be better as you won't be mislead by what the voice actor added in or omitted.

I think the most depressing thing I've ever seen is The Expanse. It really highlighted what space colonization would be like with our current economic and social system.
