Ask HN: Would you want to join a Slack instance for job seekers
It would be a slack instance for people seeking tech jobs, so we could have channels like #backend-senior and #frontend-junior etc where you can discuss tips for interviewing, practice questions, etc.
Great to hear. Essentially all features I wanted from essentially the start. I'm amazed they think they have a way to add it in while preserving backward compatibility.
Nothing changes a fact. That's what makes them facts. If you are still undecided about whether Jobs was a POS in his personal life after everything we already know, your lack of objectivity makes your opinion weigh very little in the debate about if his professional accomplishments somehow mitigate that.
I wouldn't mind smart TVs if they were as serviceable as most computers. There was that Sharp M551 panel that had a Pi CM4 as the onboard CPU and that seems ideal: a modular, replaceable, upgradable board.

The fact that this both exists and is utterly unrealistic in the consumer space just makes it more infuriating.
My Hisense with Google TV has proven to be decent. I never connected the TV to the internet and went with an external Apple TV instead. It always starts on the last video input. I was able to refuse all the EULAs and was still left with all the visual niceties that I don't use like upscaling and motion smoothing.
There are a variety of simple market simulations one can come up with where--despite every participant being equally skilled--the final outcome is always one rich guy and everyone else poor.

When you combine some of these simple models with an adjustable "redistributed back by tax" function, you get results which resemble the various countries of the world.

Browser use is very easy. Can even do that headless. That way, you can also do bulk processing. For a client, I did some 16k websites with a simple LLM agent. With “computer use” how long would that take, and what would it cost? For me, it was ~$20 (I used Gemini for this task).
This spells out in black and white that Jobs was a pretty shameless crook. We already knew this based on Apple and its peers getting caught colluding to wage fix, and the settlement that came from this, but this is a great reminder.

I really feel like Jobs gets too much credit. He was smart, but he also rode on the shoulders of multiple giants in his career, and he got lucky several times. The cult of Jobs was convinced that Apple would go downhill in his absence, but the company has quantifiably done wildly better since Cook took over.
You are right, an AI isn't capable of harm. It requires someone actually taking action and it is their responsibility.

Rules of SEO

https://github.com/arise-project/rules_of_seo

Rules of SEO is a .NET tool designed to check whether a webpage adheres to specified rules. These rules define various aspects of the webpage content, such as titles, descriptions, and segments. The utility leverages a set of rules, keywords, and competitor information to validate the webpage content.
I don’t think that would obviously solve the problem; depending on the UI it might still show up as not having an internet connection after all.
This kind of begs the question though in the “there’s nothing new under the sun” sense. Maybe your particular task is novel, but are its component parts and algorithms novel? In some cases, perhaps some of them are, but I think that’s more the exception than the rule.

LLMs aren’t just tape recorders. They can mix and match and adapt. What percentage of the code you write do you think is truly original?

Hrm. I think I had few OS/2 boxes amongst some old games I took to sell to a video game antiquarian, and I think I left it there but they didn't seem interested in them.

Frankly I don't remember which language they were, either english or finnish. I had both the red and blue boxes (was it, with windows support or not?), and other was unopened.

I usually preferred english versions myself, as I learned computers with english, it was more comfortable with me. Also IBM had some rather odd choices on some words versus Microsoft, which could be jarring (was it Umpilevy for hard drive, as opposed to Kiintolevy or Kovalevy in most other places).

One year (must of been 1997 or so?) IBM had a crazy marketing campaign at Assembly[0], where they practically just handed out the boxes to anyone who would take them. If they had handed out finnish version, I would be surprised if they were that hard to come by.

Why wouldn't you?

Before we had physical hard money (gold)
Then we had paper tokens (dollar/euro/yen etc)
Now we have digital hard money.

Bitcoin is the digital hard money protocol. It's the ultimate savings tool. Mankind has never seen a liquid asset with fixed (and pre-defined) issuance, independent of demand before. The issuance ultimately becomes 0. Even gold's above ground supply doubles every 3 to 4 decades.

Everything is tending and will continue to tend to zero against bitcoin.
While it's true that the first section in the arguments against euthanasia is "Against the will of God", the others aren't. Arguments such as

* There's no way of properly regulating euthanasia
* Euthanasia exposes vulnerable people to pressure to end their lives
* Voluntary euthanasia is the start of a slippery slope that leads to involuntary euthanasia and the killing of people who are thought undesirable
* Proper palliative care makes euthanasia unnecessary

are not primarily religious and you will find them repeated several times here in various wordings. The argument "Euthanasia weakens society's respect for the sanctity of life" may be based on religious belief but I don't think it's a uniquely religious standpoint that life has some form of sanctity
Have you looked at society? There is no advantage to taking responsibility so nobody but suckers do so.
It wasn't even so much the blunders as the strategic decisions I think. Like, a blunder isn't in itself "baffling".
'change that fact' can be taken, in this context, to be an abbreviation for 'change the degree to which this fact is relevant to the given discussion'.

...but I'm sure you already knew that.

> your lack of objectivity

You don't sound particularly objective either. But perhaps you never claimed to be. I certainly didn't.
That is quite amusing, but $10M is peanuts to Apple for some necessary patent licenses.
Not totally clear what you're asking. Would the slack group be just for job seekers, or would it have hiring staff in there too? Would it be a separate slack server per company, or literally one server for everyone?
> We can bring that back.
I agree with all of your points. I am not 100% sure how to do this (if anyone has guidance I would appreciate the insight). My personal anecdote is that my 8yo goes to school with other children who's parents have a low understanding of the impact social media is having on them and their children. I was shocked when my daughter came home and told me that her best friend had an iPhone and a Tiktok account. I spoke with her friend's Mom about it and she said that it's fine because she follows her and sees everything that she's doing on it. I respectfully disagreed but this is very real. I expect that over the next couple of years the majority of her friend's socializing will move into messaging apps. I am terrified.
I don't think this is in direct contradiction with the article. This was written in response to ideas like:

(a) the machine is so powerful that you can just tell it what to do and it does it with no supervision

or

(b) we can ditch programming languages and just use English as the "source of truth", like you would read, modify and check in the source code rather than compiled object code.

(a) is very much yet to be seen, and (b) is just monumentally stupid. Productive uses of LLMs for code are either as a super-autocomplete or as a pair programmer, which doesn't make programming languages obsolete, much less computer science education as a whole. This is even called out in TFA:

'''Even if chatbots should become a useful tool for programmers, their existence cannot mean the end of programming. It may well be the case that this combination of a built-in repository of code examples and the ability to easily retrieve code examples based on it can be used for generating ideas and for forms of “pair programming” as recently studied by Bird et al.2

But this is not program synthesis, rather it gives software using LLMs the role of more modest and possibly useful tools. We are now seeing a flurry of interest in combining traditional approaches to program analysis with LLMs, and if anything, this points to the limitations inherent in both approaches.3,8'''
Try translating differential equations or musical notations or chemical formulas into english. When we find one language to be useless or inefficient at representing reality we create another language. Language is just a tool we use to think and transfer info from one chimp brain to another.
Maybe I wasn't clear. I do use WhatsApp for friends, family, coworkers and even some business chats. That was my point, it is not a everything app, it is just a chat app.

If you expect to be able to prompt a chatbot and then not TEST that the code it wrote for you works, you're going to have a bad time.

If you're willing to put in that QA work yourself the productivity boost you can get them from is immense.

And honestly, working with the best human programmer in the world won't guarantee that the software they produce is the exact software that you wanted. Details are always lost in the communication between the person who wants the software and the person who builds it

What matters most is the dialog and speed of iteration that you can achieve to converge on the right product.

The problem is it's hard to determine exactly who--or even where--the culprit really is.

Instead we need to put consequences on these companies for creating these troves of spy-data in the first place.

Imagine if the problem was: "Foreign hackers need to face consequences for making cars explode." Sure, prosecuting them is a good idea, but the first priority should be to stop making cars that can be exploded by anyone.

I've been seeing about twice as many Cybertrucks as I did a year ago so I know they are getting more abundant.

There was one not too long ago I got a good look at in stopped traffic and it already had that minor thin patina of rust all over that some grades of stainless get in some types of industrial environments. Probably worked in a chemical plant.

I don't think it would rust through nearly as fast as plain steel, but it was going to need attention or it was going to get more off-color after a while.

Chess champions mostly haven't been young, but the dominant ones have often been dominant from the time they were young. Here's a list with ages: https://sportstar.thehindu.com/chess/world-chess-championshi...

The WCC is just a tournament though, and the winner isn't always the best player. In 1993 for example Kasparov split from FIDE, and nobody thinks of FIDE's champions as "real" until Kramnik brought the titles back together in 2006. Meanwhile Kasparov lost a match and his title to Kramnik in 2000, but remained the highest rated player until he retired. And Magnus outranked Anand for years before bothering to contest the championship.

The top three classical players today are in their 30s (with Arjun right there behind Fabiano and Hikaru). The most impressive to me though are Anand in his fifties and Aronian in his forties, in the 10th and 11th spots. And then of course there's speed chess, where the youngsters are barely competitive.
Powerhouse? I was expecting an 11/70 or 11/45. An 11/73 is relatively speaking easy to get on-line.
You are not swapping the values, you are swapping the names.
I agree on the premise of Jobs being overrated, Apple was the classic right spot right time company and that is not to say he was not a good leader in that situation but that _is_ to say that Apple could just as well have succeeded under a different leader with different antics.
But we already can stockpile the single universal store of value, dollars. Dollars, unlike Bitcoin, is completely under USA control.
We are now in the midst of a multi-year, industry wide wage fixing effort. I hope people speak with as much fervor about the CEOs currently trying to suppress wages as they do about Jobs.

Languages like Matlab, where the values returned are listed at the top of the function and you don’t even need a return statement to tell it what to return, always feel so funky and fun.
In fact, the higher the wages the more incentive to suppress, right?
There is a idea of a robot (on the album "Die Mensch-Maschine", "The Man Machine") as the perfect worker (russian "rabotnik") and also the relationshop to russian suprematism as an art form (see the cover).

evil on Emacs has been great for me. I’ve been using vim for 20 years (vim, visual studio, vim again, now Emacs) and Emacs/evil for at least 5 years or so.

I’ve heard someone say that Emacs with Evil is a better vim than vim. I’m inclined to agree.
> I'm not sure that's even that correct. If you write code using browser APIs that are currently standardised, your code will work indefinitely, whether or not you use Web Components, React, or jQuery.

The most charitable interpretation of this argument is that framework specific component libraries assume for the most part that you're using that specific framework. The documentation for popular React component libraries like shadcn are largely incomprehensible if you're not using React. Libraries like Shoelace (now being renamed to Web Awesome) make no such assumptions. You can just drop a script tag into your page's markup and get started without having to care about (or even be aware of) the fact that Shoelace uses Lit internally.

> But without Javascript, Web Components are essentially empty holes that can't do anything. They don't progressively enhance anything.

This is not true if you're using the new Declarative Shadow DOM API [1]. You literally just add a template tag with a shadowroot mode attribute inside your custom element, and then the component works without JavaScript. When (or if) the JavaScript loads, you simply check for the existence of a server-rendered shadow root using `internals.shadowRoot`. If a shadow root already exists then you don't have to replace anything, and you can attach your event listeners to the pre-existing shadow root (i.e. component hydration).

It's much worse than that. At those speeds, the cosmic background radiation would get blue-shifted to the point that you'd be constantly bathed in x-rays and gamma rays.
Absolutely, we would need to fund a public transit infrastructure and also a public relations/propaganda campaign so we can get everyone on board.
> the company has quantifiably done wildly better since Cook took over

How much of that is because the company moved along the winning trajectory already set by Steve Jobs?
who hasn't ridden on shoulders of giants

but the company has quantifiably done wildly better since Cook took over.

due to all the stuff mr. jobs had done.
It’s interesting that an LLM was able to do this, given their inability to see words as sequences of letters.
"the easiest way to detect if a programmer is in flow is to see if they’re typing into their programmer’s editor."

Does anybody else find that statement controversial?
Well a VM is meant to provide a machine agnostic environment.

An os does the same, with the quirk that its processor specific.

If youre writing Posix C, you shouldn't need to care what that software is running on, as long as its Posix. same goes for a Java or Smalltalk VM.

I suppose some things get interesting, when you start thinking in terms of languages. If you want to write to a serial port, is that an OS thing, or is that a library? Same for the file system. Is MSDOS an OS, or a library?

if you want to go ultra minimalist an OS is just locks and privileges. but I don't think anyone would class that as an OS.

The only satisfying answer for me, is the OS as a collection of services. Those services could be in the form of a programming language, but as Mr Kay points out, some bits don't fit in the programming language model.

This then raises the question, of how far you can take the model. 'everything as a file' does quite well, despite not applying to everything
It sure takes an awful lot of hard work to be in the right place at the right time. Foolish, both of you.

Vision matters and Jobs had one. If it were all just meaningless fate, really there’s no reason to get out of bed or even comment on HN.
The solution is user interfaces that are stable, but infinitely customizable by the user for their personal needs and preferences, rather than being fixed until a developer updates it.
This magnitude of data fascinates me. Can you elaborate on how that much data came to be and what kind of processing was needed for all that data? And if not, maybe point to some podcast, blog that goes into the nitty gritty of those types of real big data challenges.

It'd be cool if the mechanisms by which companies are rewarded and punished reflected that idea.

Steve's company is now one of the three largest in the US. The other one was bought out. The lesson from history seems to be "you can have a little illegal non-compete. As a treat."
Social Security is a Ponzi scheme.

You may be ignoring that at the time of the bubble, many investors, and even regular people, though the internet wasn't that big a deal. Sure email meant we wouldn't send snail mail anymore, but the majority of people were still in the "it isn't safe to use my credit card online" world.
almost every single time I've seen 'prototyping' done that was originally intended to be throwaway, it was ultimately the basis of the actual implementation.

So this is obviously completely trash data and all conclusions drawn from it are suspect, or the article is written by an idiot.

How does “1/4 interviewees brought their parents to interviews” pass the smell test?

It must mean assistance with travel, but regardless of the fault lying with the author or the data, it doesn’t bode well for the conclusions.
You don't have to turn on the red light, those days are over!
I think the reason that I haven't felt the productivity boost is because my work is mostly debugging and fixing existing code in a complicated codebase. Rarely is it writing new greenfield code. LLMs have so far struggled to be useful in this setting as it's more like the QA part of the workflow you're suggesting.
That's the point. The geometric proof requires that you show the applicability for the b>a case with algebra. If you don't, it's not complete. And if you do, you can just show everything with algebra in the first place, and shorter, and also for a,b element C (instead of R), at the same time.
