In the US this doesn't work well outside of college internships. Most tech workers don't want to shift to a new employer with a probation period. We already live under an "at will" employment relationship so employers can let you go anytime and workers can leave anytime. To have real value to a probation period for workers, we have to guarantee its harder to fire you past the probation period.
The first link in TFA leads to an earlier article on the origins of the PSX SPU, and it says this:

> The SNES APU was designed by Ken Kutaragi, who was also working on a CD-ROM add-on for the SNES before Nintendo canceled the project (likely due to seeing the Sega CD’s poor sales). After Nintendo shafted Sony on the SNES CD, Sony decided to make their own gaming console called the PlayStation, with Kutaragi as the lead hardware designer. Given this history, it’s no surprise that the SNES APU and PS1 SPU are extremely similar chips - they were designed by the same person!

Well that used to be how it worked for the most part over 100 years ago. People just showed up and were able to become citizens largely frictionlessly. We can compromise between how immigration works today and how it worked during the heyday of Ellis Island but if you read the linked post in my previous comment you should see how simply saying we need to remove all these people and actually removing them is going to be quite a massive task. On a scale not seen in this country in decades if not centuries ago.

If this country isn’t a charity then why would we go from not feeding and housing millions of illegal immigrants to now having to cover three hots and a cot while deporting them? The cost argument is more in favor of granting amnesty to existing immigrants and reforming the system to better vet but give more streamlined processes to migrants to discourage border crossings.

This is a country built on immigration. You yourself are an immigrant to this country. Why do you deserve to be here any more than I do, someone born and raised here? Do you think the deportation forces if they come to your home or workplace and have questions about your legal status will be understanding of the fact you weren’t born here? Can we trust that the courts will give you due process when now having to handle quadruple the case load as before?

It's news because new solar farms are one of the things this site reports on. See this story from a few weeks ago for example: https://electrek.co/2024/10/21/a-solar-farm-comes-online-on-....

They report on other countries as well, here's a story about a much larger project in China from yesterday: https://electrek.co/2024/11/14/china-worlds-largest-open-sea....

One reason this one could be notable though is that the panels are US-made, I think that is somewhat unusual.

in one interview for a python job i was allowed to submit solutions to tests in pike which i had more experience with, but none of the devs at the company had ever seen. for python they had an automated testsuite but i remember my interviewer telling me that the devs were pouring over my test results to verify them manually while we continued other parts of the interview. i got the job.

> Are you testing the candidate on what the job will actually require, and ONLY that?

As a hiring manager, I strive to evaluate for potential and adaptability, not a highly specific list of skills. I think many candidates prefer that, too, that they will be allowed and encouraged to learn how to do this job. I do not want to hire people that don’t want to learn or can’t do things they haven’t done before. And I may or may not even know exactly what the job will require. Do not assume your interviewer can tell you exactly what will happen once hired — they can’t! One thing I do know, for sure, is that the job will require communication with others, adaptability to changing requirements, and a willingness to learn the company’s workflow. I need to make sure those boxes are checked, sometimes more than I need to see how well someone knows jQuery or CUDA or sorting algorithms.

The code I've written in personal projects have been pretty messy -- whereas code I've written professionally tend to be better (not perfect), but of course I can't share that code.

On the employer side, I would prefer the take home assignment over existing code, unless the existing code was super high quality or highly relevant to the company.
Theoretically? Maybe.

Practically? No one has figured out how. The best we have are coding challenges.

You're hiring for a senior role, not a junior or mid.

Your candidates aren't fresh out of school or just starting their careers. They already have plenty of work experience. They already know how to code and have been doing it for years. A conversation will tell you much more about their approaches to problems solving, team work, and mentoring than a coding challenge will. Looking at their GitHub, their work experience and references will tell you the rest.

It's like asking a doctor to go over basic human anatomy.

My wild speculation is immigrants will likely migrate to states that have made public commitments to protect them, to the detriment of states losing them (exacerbating their labor shortages).
Neither did I. But I'd rather just "smuggle" out some past work and "rewrite it" to make it inconspicuous, if I didn't have my own personal work to show. The company I work for isn't well known so saying "I worked there in a senior role for 10 years" isn't going to get me the next job. If I didn't have anything to show for that I either made for fun or could display from a past job, I'd not apply for another until I had tbh.

People say "No I don't have any past hobby work, never contributed to OSS, and all my professional work is verboten to show" that's not unusual, but it's also not an encouraging sign to me when interviewing.
Most certainly.

Another thought further down the line is to get some self-driving equipment installed, and use the cars before sending actual people. I feel like a relatively cheap kit could turn one into a ram and/or remote surveillance point.

I don't like the "state of the art" of tech hiring but I think this thing you say can be said to any of us in our jobs and that's not fair.

We all part from the same place (understand me: from the standpoint of the hirer, I know we have different vital stories). They open the position to all of us and want to be impressed. The one that makes it, gets the job.

It is the best way? Absolutely not. Is it unfair? No.
If you talk to hiring at some of these companies, it is intentionally designed to be this way so that it is fairly meritocratic.

In other words, anybody, regardless of what university they went to or what courses they took out what advantages or disadvantages they had, can learn this stuff in a couple of months if they have what it takes for the role. And because the skills are so standardized, the process is pretty differently objective.

It's not expected that they'll actually use the specific skills in the job. But it shows they can learn skills of that type and then perform them at a high level in a stressful interview situation. Which is a great signal for whether they can learn the skills needed for the specific project they wind up on and perform in a high stakes deadline scenario.

I'm not defending the system, but I am saying there's a clear logic behind it.

Show HN: BookRead – AI Integrated eBook-Reader App
Few months ago I was reading "The Genealogy of Morals" by Friedrich Nietzsche, but it was so difficult that I had to take pictures of each page, ask ChatGPT for explanations so that I can understand it.

So I decided to build BookRead.

BookRead is an AI-powered e-book reader that make reading effortless, and help get more out of every book.

Instead of traditional "look-up" or "dictionary", BookRead uses AI explanations to clarify everything—from individual words to entire paragraphs—within the context of the book.

Other AI features include:
- AI reminders of your previous readings in case you forget.
- Automatically generated flashcards at the end of each chapter to help you retain key ideas.

This is most helpful for people reading classic novels, philosophy, history or religious text.

Love to hear your feedbacks on this!
> Haha. This is a classic newbie founder mistake thinking all you need is a % of the market. We all have made it. Now you know. Market estimate should be made bottom up, not top down.

In Emacs, there is [helm-ag-edit](https://github.com/emacsorphanage/helm-ag) (but uses ripgrep if present). It's almost identical to your workflow, but all done inside the same app.

1. helm-ag <pattern> # the search results are updated as you type
2. helm-ag-edit # edit the search result as regular text. Use multi-cursors, macros, whatever.
3. helm-ag-edit-save # commits the changes to the affected files

All those commands have keybindings, so it's pretty fast. I'll often open up Emacs just to do that and then go back to my JetBrains IDE.
+1 here too. The situation always comes up after some kind of fucked up acquisition. Nothing like inheriting an entire code base built on someone else's stack when all the original developers decided to quit or were laid off. Ancient versions of Python and Java, deployment done by pull and pray. Multiple versions of the same service in different places because they were half way through some modernization when it all came to an end. Fun stuff. Getting your bearings fast is a real skill.

See "Pure IMU-based Positional Tracking is a No-go"[1], a position from an IMU starts to drift in a fraction of a second and than shoots off into infinity. Without an absolute reference there is nothing you can do to stop it and the errors will accumulate. It's not just a little bad, it's completely unusable.

A further complication is that the IMUs you find in phones, especially back when all this was new, weren't very good. So even a plain 3DoF experience would suffer from slow response and yaw-drift from lack of magnetometer, which is why GearVR had an extra IMU in the headset and why Daydream required new certified phones with better IMUs.

3DoF can still be good enough for VR180/360 movies, which don't allow movement to begin with. But as far as gaming is concerned, you really do need 6DoF, as even a bit of leaning forward in a chair will make it instantly obvious that the headset motion and the headset visuals are out of sync.

I personally think that Trump used Musk to get elected, but has no intention of paying him back.

Musk already has more funds than Trump and a lot of sway, but no direct political power.

Trump sees Musk as a resource, but too difficult to control to be an underling and a possible rival in terms of popularity and if Musk were to get an appointment to a position with political power.

Why else would Trump place Musk in charge of a non-existent entity? Despite the name "Department of Government Efficiency" (DOGE) is not a government agency and has no government funding or authority.

Whatever ideas DOGE produces Trump can implement or ignore at his leisure. It pushes Musk "out of the way", gives him something to do that might be worthwhile, and still keeps the door open for future collaboration.

I feel like the real problem is that most people are poor evaluators of talent. The pervasive bad interview processes in industry reflect this truth (as well as cowardice that allows people to hide behind process to avoid accountability as well as accusations of bias). The only way to escape this trap is to find the right connections or start your own org. Otherwise you will spend your entire career suffering the consequences of broken interview processes (both in terms of your experience getting hired as well as being forced to work with bad hires who game the system).

[Random advice from the internet]:

1. Nobody here knows the details of your actual relationship with your parents and the cultural values and norms that you want to follow.

2. Ask your parents what would convince them - it probably requires a clear alternative plan that addresses their concerns.

3. And ask your parents what would be the consequences of not following their advice.

Then you can make an informed decision about your options.

Good luck.
