The actual paper is pretty wild, and makes sense from what I know: https://www.nature.com/articles/s41586-024-08100-w

TNF-alpha promoting sleep is a surprise but it… makes sense. Somehow.
I feel like I see this comment fairly often these days, but nonetheless, perhaps we need to keep making it - the AI generated image there is so poor, and so off-putting. Does anyone like them? I am turned off whenever I see someone has used one on a post, with very few exceptions.

Is it just me? Why are people using them? I feel like objectively they look like fake garbage, but obviously that must be my subjective biases, because people keep using them.
I have also encountered companies with actual open positions; but when it comes down to actually hiring, one person in a position of power may decide they don't want to spend the money on the position ("yet").
I've seen people with small but wide desks placed between the handlebars and the seat of a stationary bike, with enough space to place a laptop. I suppose if you wanted you could also use a wall mounted display and place a keyboard and mouse on the desk.
They don't do the work, they help you do the work. The work isn't compiling or ploughing, it's writing software and farming, respectively. Both of which are actually just means to the ends of providing some service that someone will pay "human life tokens" for.

AI maximalists are talking about breaking that pattern and having AI literally do the job and provide the service, cutting out the need for workers entirely. Services being provided entirely autonomously and calories being generated without human input in the two analogies.

I'm not convinced by that at all: if services can be fully automated, who are you going to sell ERP or accounting software to, say? What are people going to use as barter for those calories if their time and bodies are worthless?

But I can see why that is a saleable concept to those who consider the idea of needing to pay workers to be a cruel injustice. Though even if it works at all, which, as I said, I dont believe, the actual follow-on consequences of such a shift are impossible to make any sensible inferences about.

A good manager is hard to find
Yep, that's my feeling everyday. I would have liked to have seen Patrick Warburton cast in that role, though. For example, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PaghIdSJKvQ
I don't think there's anything one can realistically do about this. They probably should get rid of the requirement to have an open application process altogether. If they have someone in mind they will hire, they will hire that person.
Yeah, that’s a good point. I often ask my network for help, and it gets results. But still, I think I get more feedback when applying through the careers page.
I didnt see any hate speech. I saw a bunch of critical, reactionary, and stupid takes, but nothing close to hate speech.
Sorry I should have clarified.

The ATS doesn't kick out your resume automatically, it just fails to include you in the 25 top candidates that get forwarded on to the hiring manager.

It was very sad to see that my resume didn't make it for a job description that I wrote based on my resume.

The Corpus of United States State Statutes–Design, Construction and Use
Honestly it's more complicated than that. At the same time that techno was being created in Detroit, EBM was being created in Germany and the UK. When techno came back over from Detroit, it as influenced by those things. So modern techno can be said to have both European and African American roots independently. I would say its more accurate to say it originated in Detroit since that is the main basis for the sound, but it is extremely transatlantic.
It almost feels like a joke to be honest!

OpenStack isn't a hypervisor! It's a system to emulate AWS locally that requires a hypervisor to present multiple system images.

You shouldn't need to edit an undocumented file that's force enabling an insecure authentication method in the first place.

I wish there was an independent unit test suite for operating systems and other proprietary software.

The suite would run the most-used apps and utilities against updates and report regressions.

So for example, the vast majority of apps on my Mac can't run, because they were written for early versions of OS X and OS 9, even all the way back to System 7 when apps were expected to still run on 4/5/6. The suite would reveal that Apple has a track record of de-prioritizing backwards compatibility or backporting bug fixes to previous OS versions.

Edit: integration test suite
That allegedly had elevated levels of lead.

Which, you know what, tracks.
Those stories are inspired (somewhat) by the dark ages. Stagnation is kinda the default state of mankind. Look at places like Afghanistan. Other than imported western tech, it's basically a medieval society. Between the fall of the Roman Empire and the middle medieval era, technology didn't progress all that much. Many parts of the world were essentially still peasant societies at the start of the 20th century.

All you really need is a government or society that isn't conducive to technological development, either because they persecute it or because they just don't do anything to protect and encourage it (e.g. no patent system or enforceable trade secrets).

Even today, what we see is that technological progress isn't evenly distributed. Most of it comes out of the USA at the moment, a bit from Europe and China. In the past there's usually been one or two places that were clearly ahead and driving things forward, and it moves around over time.

The other thing that inspires the idea of a permanent medieval society is archaeological narratives about ancient Egypt. If you believe their chronologies (which you may not), then Egyptian society was frozen in time for thousands of years with little or no change in any respect. Not linguistic, not religious, not technological. This is unthinkable today but is what academics would have us believe really happened not so long ago.
>>I'd also imagine there's a difference between clear satire and something being presented as the truth.
There is, and the 1st amendment's coverage of Parody/Satire is very well documented. The Onion has always made it clear that it's fake news, Infowars fought tooth and nail to say they're allowed to say their "truth" even if it's harmful lies. When you can prove that someone believes the damaging bullshit they're saying (not always easy!) they get their dick kicked in.

To your other point, "a well-financed bad actor could ruin any business with enough SLAPP lawsuits" falls away because anti-SLAPP laws exist and award damages if you push too hard.

Do perfectly good people get ruined through litigation? Sure. Is it the epidemic that grifters trying to sway public opinion in their favor make it out to be? Highly unlikely.
"The mRNA injections" referred to the ones marketed for covid specifically.

> this just sounds like my mum saying "I know this one doctor

By "legitimate" / "authoritative" voices, I am referring to "mainstream" media. I put "mainstream" in quotes because long-form podcasts and even Alex Jones himself have a larger audience than CNN/MSNBS etc.

I respect this sincere pursuit of truth, very much so. I will leave this thread open in a tab and bring resources I am aware of to you in the near future.
Agreed. EDM just means Electronic Dance Music. The issue is that it has also become the name of a generic genre of such music that is terrible and that is the visceral image most people get when you say the acronym. But that image is inaccurate.

AI progress has plateaued at GPT-4 level
Interesting, that's helpful, thanks - so with the eventual arrival of memory64 and assuming I only wanted to target desktop systems and assuming browser implementations permit large allocations (e.g. 8GB) - large 64bit apps could work fine. I have a use case for this I've been poking at for a bit, but implementing my own version of cheerpx would be a lot of work, maybe I'll just wait!

On open source - I can only give you feedback as an outside fresh pair of eyes :) I incorrectly interpreted that it was full stack OSS based on the overall blog post 'vibe' and had to deliberately double check because I was aware of cheerpx beforehand. Perhaps it's just me. I look forward to the cheerpx blog post!
> the abstraction of multiple branches where multiple people independently worked on things then merged them back together wasn't quite how most lawyers worked

This depends a lot on the practice. Transactional lawyers working in M&A and real estate encounter the issue of parallel drafts all the time. Personal injury lawyers tend to work in isolation and don't need all of git's functionality. Pretty much every lawyer redlines in some capacity, however, and benefit from visualizing a linear version history.

>And the other big thing was a network problem: a lawyer has to us microsoft office's version control because the opposing team is going to use it, so even if you use some better editor software it still has to be sent as a word file showing the tracked changes to the other side.

Yes, this is absolutely correct. This is one of the main things that keeps docx entrenched as the standard in legal collaboration. It would be an enormous faux-pas to send another lawyer a contract in an application that they're unfamiliar with. Backwards compatibility with their existing workflows is essential.

How to Abolish the Electoral College
When I last changed jobs, I started looking at the end of 2021. I was a staff SWE at Google, MS CS from Stanford, etc. - a good resume.

I also found myself applying into a black hole. But when I used second degree connections to get someone at the company to acknowledge I existed, everything started moving, and I ended up with great offers from both the companies I had applied in.

Sometimes there are ghost roles, but sometimes recruiting is inundated or disorganized and you just need an internal champion.
> but as constructive feedback I would recommend softening the language and to replace:

I can soften it, but I think you're reading it excessively negatively: that warning is there to make sure people don't try to do the fiddly, error-prone cryptographic bits if they don't need to. It's a numerical fact that most project owners don't need that section, since most are either using manual API tokens or are publishing via GitHub Actions.

> Perhaps also add a few of the providers you listed as well?

They'll be added when they're enabled. Like I said in the original comment, we're using a similar enablement pattern as happened with Trusted Publishing: GitHub was enabled first because it represents the majority of publishing traffic, followed by GitLab and the others.

> GitHub being popular is a self-reinforcing process, if GitHub is your first class citizen for something as crucial as trusted publishing then projects on GitHub will see a higher adoption and become the de-facto "secure choice".

I agree, but I don't think this is PyPI's problem to solve. From a security perspective, PyPI should prioritize the platforms where the traffic is.

(I'll note that GitLab has been supported by Trusted Publishing for a while now, and they could make the publishing workflow more of a first class citizen, the way it is on GHA.)
From my reading (IANAL), there are three types of occupational fraud: asset misappropriation, corruption, and financial statement fraud. Since job posting are interpreted as a positive signal but are not (it seems) typically and explicitly included in formal financial statements, this wouldn't rise to the level of criminal fraud.
Obesity Causation v2.0
Discovery isn't just giving over random documents. It's about giving over the documents that are requested by the other side. So giving more documents than they ask for is actually a hinderence. And the case was not about specific documents, it was the overall actions. Because of the "consistent pattern of discovery abuse" (quoting the decision), the parents could not see that evidence.

As for the larger point, in public opinion, most people see Jones getting what he deserves. He lied over and over again, caused harm to many families, and is now getting punished for it. He did this while knowing he was lying.

I'm also interested in what way during trial Bankston made himself look bad or anti-first amendment or against justice.
Conversely, I doubt punishing them would make them work harder either. If anything, I would expect lower their quality of life can only further erode their quality of work.

Well, most are called "project manager" now. But it would still be a giant red flag, just like the project manager job title or even worse, using PM so you don't know exactly what it means.

>We pretty explicitly ask candidates to not use AI.

This doesn't work, because regardless of what the rules say if i think all my competitors are using AI (and you won't be able to reliably detect it) i'll feel pressured to use it as well. This is true of any advantage (spending extra time on 2 hour takehome assignment is the classic version of this)
I'm interested in an adjacent question, because I do it myself:

Why don't more people use Git and Markdown for their todo lists and/or GTD systems?

The Git client is ideal for displaying lists and editing a little text file you git push could not be more simple.
It is right in the license.
After reading it a few times my understanding is this:

An H1B job holder applies for a green card. OP then must interview to prove the role can't be filled by a citizen. An interviewee knocks it out of the park, failing the check and so the green card application is denied. However the person holding the job is still legally allowed to work for 2-3 years in their H1B. So they're kept on for that long even though the check failed for the green card.
I like the twitter comments. They're already baking how it's part of the secret globalist plot.

I was thinking of the issue of going from English to C. Even when you out in malformed C it's nice to get either a compiler error which explains the problem, or even better an LLM that can suggest how to fix it.
> It's so peculiar that the man who thinks few women are willing to "get in the trenches" never sees women really getting into the trenches.

I have seen women in the trenches but I don't see how that contradicts my claim that they are relatively few and there's probably a reason despite all the efforts to bring more women into tech.
Looks a lot like YOLO. But seems quite useful in this context.

The end seems to overhype it a little bit though.

I might be reading this wrong but doesn't it include four workflows, including Gitlab? The "manual way" section is grouped under the Github tab, which indicates to me that it's only explaining how the Github-specific workflow works?

Nothing screams efficiency like 2 dept heads.
Finally, somebody said it! I am always bemused when people say they turn off contracts in production code. They don't understand the difference between contracts (a program state guarantee) and testing for special/error cases (must be handled explicitly). The excuse usually given is runtime performance which can be mitigated by using a subset from pre/post-conditions/invariants.
Yes, this is precisely what the comment thread is saying. Shmatt’s original post should shock you with its conclusion because everyone loses including shmatt.
My thoughts exactly. I haven't really tried many of the HN monthly postings myself very often, but once in a while I see something irresistible. But they never respond. Or they have an auto responder which doesn't count in my book.

When one company never responded, I added a comment to their ad the next month saying as much. The poor guy had to make up something about a spam filter.

Some kind of rating system would be helpful.
Yep, they love a giant database filled with candidates they will never check out.

Because we don't have enough garbage in the ocean from all the "disposable", cheaply made products. Let's just keep churning out stuff that breaks within a year and fill up those landfills, oceans, and whatever else needed to pile them all in.
This is spot on. These things are a delicate balance as well. When I sleep well, I can control my feeding patterns much better. When I eat well, I tend to sleep better. Exercise affects both of those, and is affected back.

Work is constantly nudging this balance in the wrong direction, putting us into a vicious cycle of accelerated death and suffering.

I may be making this sound worse than it feels though, probably because I'm writing this in between bouts of high fever. I honestly can't complain all that much from the life I lead but I do wish I could make it work much better around my physiological needs.
Good luck! Hope we both find something suitable soon
I agree. I did hire someone on an H1B in the early 2010's and he was, to put it mildly, the perfect candidate for the job and I don't think I could have found anyone anywhere to do it. Someone else at the company was hired, into sales, and they were pretty good for the job (a Japanese person to service the Japanese market), but you could argue that citizen speakers of Japanese do exist and should have been given priority.

I would be happy if the H1B program was killed.
Exactly, you don't build up a catalogue of people you can get back to.

Ie. this technique does not make sense - search for people on demand instead.
Yes, to really prove it, one would need an admission from the employer. But isn't the above comment such an admission?
Do that for a bunch of different applications and you hit interesting issues. For example the Java TLS stack, which doesn’t accept a PEM certificate on its own, but needs the full certificate chain. Kibana, however, requires the full certificate chain including the root certificate, which isn’t usually a part of the certificate itself, and Elasticsearch complains about an invalid certificate if you point it to the same one.

So even for two apps from the same vendor, which are commonly deployed together, you need bespoke TLS file variants. Scale that to more applications, and you’ll find out the hard way that you are vastly underestimating the complexity of operating a software ecosystem.
So what gives you a right to download and use the software in the first place? The copyright law forbids that by default. What permission other than the license do you have?
go ask claude to give you feedback about this comment, because it shows a misunderstanding of how a male-dominated society works if this is what you think about women in tech.

> I don’t know exactly what compensation they should get, but this does not seem like a healthy or sustainable way for our society to deal with tragedy.

I don't know if it's healthy or sustainable, but it definitely sounds healthier than ignoring the tragedy altogether.
Imagine there are humans who read those headlines and think to themselves that it is real.
If you came up to 10 Gen Z or Millennials and showed them "DeepL Voice" as the name of a new product, ask them what their first associations were.
Earlier this year, I worked on 60 pages of M&A contract documents with lawyers, and I found the change tracking in Word miserable. It's so difficult to see only the delta quickly, it's slow to go back through the history, and it's hard to discuss a change within the tool itself.

It felt crazy that there wasn't better tooling for this, but I also appreciate the difficulty of trying to get lawyers out of the MS Word workflow that they know.

Good luck to the team! I hope you're successful.
That sounds ethical.

Good to hear that H1B programme isn't being abused.
