People get confused because quality is multi-dimensional and most people only see the dimension they care about.

X always buys BMWs because he thinks their design and driving dynamics are unmatched. They can’t understand why people settle for less.

Y buys Toyotas because they’re reliable. They think X is crazy for buying something that’s going to cost so much to maintain and repair.

They’re both high quality products, but in different ways. X prioritizing design and driving feel over reliability doesn’t mean they don’t care about quality, same for Y. They just care about different things.

The Netflix thing is a perfect example. We see those guidelines and think, this is a recipe for low-quality trash. And if you’re looking for something to devote your full attention to for an hour, you’re probably right. But it’s plainly not meant for that. In the context of its purpose, it can be high quality. If it’s meant to be on in the background while you do stuff, it should be judged on that basis. And if you’re looking for something else, go find it.

It gets mixed up in social signaling too. Judging a movie’s quality by acting skill and subtle, meaningful scripts is seen as high class. Judging it by special effects or having famous actors is low class. That gets interpreted as the latter not caring about quality, but nothing makes those qualities inherently less worthy.

It’s funny, judging food by its ingredients is seen as high class. “The cream was sourced from grass-fed cows on our partner farm in Wherever.” High quality! But don’t try it with a movie. “This movie has Elvis in it.” Low class, you don’t care about quality!

Most people care about quality. They may not agree with your specific, personal idea of exactly which dimensions of quality are important.

I have 6 years of experience, mostly back-end. Currently on the machine learning team at a startup where I have been building and maintaining LLM-based products in production, architected and implemented the platform code powering all of our LLM offerings, and functioned as tech lead for our main RAG system.

I have a very devopsy mindset, previous founder experience, and experience quickly building and iterating on MVPs from scratch. Ideally looking for somewhere I would be a very early engineer and get to set the direction, or somewhere where I could work in a non-Python, non-TypeScript language.
Goodness you read my mind. (Or rather, I should have read on first before commenting!)

Measuring ability is a lot more tricky and has more to do at times with your ability to manipulate optics. I'd understand it as more reliable and a gradual way to increase scope and responsibility. You'd only want to go faster if you want to chase money and promotions at a pace that is faster than normal, which may not be realistic in this market (or in normal market conditions generally).
On Firefox you could use a separate container for your coupon site visits, but do the buying in another container.

Sadly, we probably all are LLMs/bots on the internet at this point, just talking to one another. The real humans have all become fed up and are now mostly off fishing by a lake.
Sometimes projects get stars just because people like the personality or company behind the project.

Case in point: https://github.com/facebook/hhvm/. It got 15,000 stars in its first few years, but roughly 10 non-Facebook companies actually ever used it in production, and today only one non-Facebook company uses it (I work at that company).
I tried to focus on office jobs because I realize it’s a privilege to work remotely that most people can’t do.

If you were a teacher, do you think it would be easier to find a nice home in Brookton South Dakota or San Francisco California?

And I’m not trying to come across as being pro or anti rural America. I’ve lived in major metropolitan areas my adult life. But I’m from and still visit family in south GA.

On the other hand, drugs are endemic everywhere in the US. I know a few middle class families with teenagers and their relatives struggling with heavy drugs - not just weed.
I just finished my fifth(?) reading through the whole series. Still good stuff! I have sailed a little on an old gaff ketch, so I know a little about sailing ships. Nothing in the whole series sounded wrong to me. Same with their music, it just sounded right for the period. There were some things I suspected were off, like the platypus having poisonous claws, or some of the court details in North Africa, but every single detail was right when I checked it. And on top of that, the story telling, and the persons are so great!
Github really wants to be a social network or something to that effect and I get the feeling that most developer don't care. If you log in it's pretty clear that the "front page" is suppose to be something like a feed, but I don't know anyone who uses it. Mine is completely blank and pointless. Stars I suppose is to be something akin to a like, maybe.

I have plenty of Github projects bookmarked, but I never "stared" one... Why would I?

I propose Honey should not make money. There is, in fact, no right to make money by doing whatever you want. Honey should lose massive amounts of money and be shut down. Theft is not a business model that needs to be protected.

Hardware accelerated video decode is a must-have for any light chromebooks to gain traction.
regarding therapy, something immensely valuable my wife and I stumbled on is working with a child psychologist who, rather than meeting directly with our children, does "parent training" sessions.
these takes the form of hour long meetings in which we relay a specific challenge we're having with one of our kids. Our therapist asks questions, offers suggestions, and reacts to different strategies we're currently trying.

it's been so helpful to have an objective third party who can offer kind feedback on approaches we're using, give us heads-up to potential fallout of certain strategies or reactions to difficult behavior, and also offer great suggestions on new or altered approaches to take based on our own family values.
I've played combat games where you can chirp in order to lure enemies towards you.

Then you're incentivized to find a defensible spot and keep mashing the "chirp" button so you get a steady stream of enemies.

You could remove the chirp button -- but then you're left sprinting out juust far enough that the enemy detects you, then run back somewhere defensible. Not very satisfying.

Or you can make it so enemies stream towards the player continuously, regardless of how close they are, without any trigger -- which is sort of equivalent to having the chirp button get mashed automatically. Again, find somewhere defensible and mash the attack key.

None of these approaches feel very satisfying. There must be some clever approach to this issue which doesn't run into any of these problems. A simple set of rules which leads to a large variety of combat challenges instead of a degenerate winning strategy.
I posted it twice because there’s multiple comments covering the same thing.

You can look at my post history. I’m just trying to give an industry perspective. I’m not supporting what Honey or any shopping extension does.

Yeah, I see what you're saying. I had this article[0] in mind, which is a well-written article and ranks #1 for "organize front end code django" on Google. None of the other results are close in relevance or quality.

But I guess that example could be confusing for readers who aren't familiar enough with Django to know why structuring the frontend is a hard problem that not many people write about.

Another way would be to narrow down to the top 2 candidates and then decide by a literal coin toss if they are equally worthy of the position.
Being fair these are semantically different meanings of “theft”.

1. Movie copyright is compared, by its owners and the law, to physical theft. This type of theft does not remove the physical use or any use from the owners.

2. GPL copyright only requires sharing changed code. Failing to disclose the changes actually does affect the owners in the way claimed.

They’re two different social contracts and we need different words for them. Honestly many social problems are like this.

Housing hasn’t been the biggest problem in Japan since 2000s. Like it is, but not the biggest one. Yet the birth rates have never increased after the initial bump.

Not Hakan, but I was working closely with him at the time. Lyft was on a microservice many-repo setup, and we did pin the version of golangci-lint.

I've found it's actually not so bad to do this kind of work across many repos, as long as you have the tooling to apply the same change to any number of codebases all at once. Our strategy was typically:

- Write an idempotent codemod to do an upgrade. This is easy as long as your configuration is in a declarative language.

- Regularly apply it or update it on all of the applicable repos.

- Merge upgrades incrementally until you've upgraded 100%.

Sometimes you just need to use the least bad option. I tend to use my wood board for dry or veg foods, and 100% always use the plastic board for meat products.
That wasn't my point entirely but admittedly it was a part of it. I have not heard a good reason for why a trace gas has such an effect. Bearing in mind that 0.04% is total CO2 and human produced CO2 is a tiny fraction of that - can't seem to find an agreed on percentage on that one but happy to be enlightened. The other point I was making is that when I have asked that basic question to people who are seemingly frightened of the effects of CO2 I have got massively inflated guesstimates e.g. 50%. I just think if you are going to be scared and try and scare others you should know at least that.
>> China’s progress economically and technologically has almost entirely been copying those innovations and competing on price due to poor labor and environmental laws and conditions.

That may have been true for a while when they were catching up. They are now leading R&D in a number of areas. They do have more issues (fraud, piling on co-authors) in published research, but there is a lot of legit stuff going on too. There are also cases where China has always been ahead of the US - flat panel displays have never really been manufactured in the U.S. for example. A lot of their innovations are also seen as "just cost reduction" on our end, but that still counts and is part of why they're still competitive even as their labor costs go up.

If you can't pass the captcha you have to ask yourself, are you really a human being or have you just been programmed to believe that you are?
It's ironic but I was having terrible problems accessing archive.today when I was using Cloudflare DNS (1.1.1.1) that cleared up when I switched to either my ISP's provider or Google's 8.8.8.8. I was not the only one

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=38063548

What's funny about it is that as a human I get tormented by those things all the time but I have been writing bots since 1999 and have yet to have had CAPTCHAs affect a webcrawling project in a big way: for instance I have a bot that collected 800,000 images from 4 web sites since last April, at times I thought they had anti-bot countermeasures but I realized that when they were having problems it was because the wheels were coming off their web site (don't blame me, that is 0.03 requests/second and are not parallelized and pipelined like the requests from a web browser.) I'm also prototyping one that can look at an article like

https://phys.org/news/2025-01-diversifying-dna-origami-gener...

see if there are links to journal articles in there, determine if the articles are Open Access and pick out an image for social... so far no problems. But if I want to pay my electric bill there's a CAPTCHA -- I mean, what kind of bot wants to pay my electric bill? (Kinda seems like it is asking for a lawsuit in this day and age if it prevents anyone 'differently abled' from accessing essential services...)
If you like this kind of degeneracy, I tried AoC in Google Sheets this year.

It's not about "rights". It's about power. It's about turning you into a serf in their digital fiefdom. A perpetual consumer.
This was a really useful explanation, thank you.
I'm not sure if you're talking to me – but it's an objective fact (that you should google) that ghrelin levels determine hunger.

Everything in his first message is objectively false, specifically that hunger means your body is eating fat. That is wrong, wishful thinking, and made up. How can I be more clear?

And everything in the follow up response seems irrelevant, rambling, moving the goalpost. (Hence the LLM observation.)

When I don't answer what?
It'll be interesting to see what happens if someone takes that argument to court.

One side of the argument is that Cloudflare places an undue burden. The other side of the argument is that without the CF protections, the service provider doesn't even have reason to believe the request is coming from a human being the law protects.
Perhaps if they had delivered a cheaper Tesla instead of a robotaxi that nobody asked for, won’t meet the needs of 90% of people wanting a taxi, and isn’t anywhere near ready to operate on public roads, the market would have expanded.
Play devil's advocate here. Human memory is not flawless, and people makes mistakes, so maybe Adam Grant should have read one of his previous work as a refresher. Even if not wrong, it is possible that he missed some stuff he thought he had published, but hadn't.

If, as a developer, you had the experience of looking at some terrible code, angrily searching for whoever wrote that monstrosity, only to realize that you did, that's the idea.
Is the meta interview process still primarily a leetcode gauntlet?
Has the title changed since you posted this comment? It's not clear to me why "a 400-year-old cymbal-making company in Massachusetts" would have to imply that the processes are 400 years old, or that the company was always located in Massachusetts, or that there aren't any other old cymbal companies elsewhere.
From the consumer side, I also feel like I want to end my own subscription addiction. Subscribing to media had a real benefit years ago when you could get access to content ad-free with a subscription.

Now that benefit largely is disappearing. Many of my subscriptions now jam in ads and charge per view. As a simple example, Amazon video is just as likely going to require I "rent" or farcicaly "purchase" the movies I want to see.

That is very valid. My problem is that a large portion of my possible clients seemed to be happy with the idea of the solution I provided. I was looking in it tech wise because I somewhat validated it for my current client-space.

Self-hosting seems like the most reliable option for the time being (or executing functions on the encrypted data without decrypting it) however, is it standard practice that I use Kubernetes to give them a preconfigured database that they can deploy on my own cloud? I wouldn't access the code except temporarily through a little script that talks to my cloud that comes along the database in the pod that they "self host." Would that be considered standard practice?
Then you’ll have to invent new language for one or the other because they’ve different and merely related meanings.

I agree though. We should always intend for accurate and consistent language.
Yes, Roland use physical modelling on their flagship V-Drum modules, but it's a harder problem than you might think. High-quality sensors for electronic drum kits sense not only impact velocity, but position - a cymbal will sound radically different depending on where you hit it. Every part of a drum kit will sympathetically resonate with every other part. It's all massively complicated to model and it only has to be slightly off to feel wrong to a good drummer. Despite decades of serious technical effort, there's still a big gap between the real deal and digital, particularly for drummers with a delicate style who make use of brushes, rutes or soft mallets.

This is pretty bad. Let's start with the very first instruction:

mov rax, 1

An actual "mov rax, 1" would assemble to 48 B8 01 00 00 00 00 00 00 00, a whopping TEN bytes.

nasm will optimize this to the equivalent "mov eax, 1", that's 6 bytes, but still:

xor eax, eax ; 2 bytes
inc eax ; 2 bytes

would be much smaller. Second line:

mov rdi, 1

You already have the value 1 in eax, so a "mov edi, eax" (two bytes) would suffice. Etc. etc.
It's also used for proof of work as many scrapers are using thousands of IPs but only a few CPUs
In their defence, the implementation of unions in the US is a bastardization of the concept. Just a bunch of fat cats making bank at the top while looking out for their own interests. Look at the Teamsters or the dockworkers union currently for example.
This is great. I think there is a tendency to apply the Peter Principle to others (ie the boss), but it applies just as well to ourselves. How long until we are all promoted into incompetence, and how sure are we that it hasn't already happened?
I am. Because by this logic no one save for a select few should ever be employed.

Personally I’d rather live in a world where people are doing the best they can and given room to fail then a rigid bureaucratic hegemony of ultra efficiency.
Clearly users didn’t know that all this was going on. And neither did the social media influencers who promoted honey while being robbed by it.

If it were an honest business, honey wouldn’t have needed to hide what they did. (And lie about it on their website - where they claimed until recently that honey found you the best deals). Also if it were an honest business, nobody would be surprised or mad when it all came out. Honest businesses can just explain everything and people still want to do business with them!

What honey did doesn’t pass the pub test. It’s scummy.
