+ The fundamental nature of job search sites cannot be changed:

1: Job listings generally correlate to jobs that can't be filled through word of mouth. [0]

2: Job applicants generally correlate to candidates who cannot find a job through word of mouth.

+ Job search works about as well as it can.

1. Today it is easy for people to hear about jobs that they simply won't get and would never have heard about in the past for that reason.

2. Today for companies there is no direct expense associated with listing a job (just automatically file applications in a database). In the past job listings in publications cost meaningful money.

+ No amount of scraping is going to result in significantly better job listings.

+ No features are going to result in significantly more hireable candidates.

Good luck.

[0]: For the sake of simplicity I place non-existent jobs in this category even if one could make a mathematical argument to the contrary.
Thanks for the kind words about Formbee! I also think Formspark is great! I've been thinking about making the pricing options for Formbee more similar to how Formspark does their pricing.

As an extension: an opposite of "collusion through common leadership" might be "collusion enabled by common exclusion"; in other words, blacklisting.

The inverse of a "no-poach list" would be a "no-hire list".

In the past, blacklisting (now should be called denylisting) was a real labor issue. People who stood up for workers rights (think: coal-mining towns in the late 1wr800s) or had unpopular political views (think: Hollywood in the early cold war) were, so the story goes, put on shared lists and denied work.

But the effect would be similar. Enabled beneficial collective action for the executive class, through a concerted and curated collection of who can participates in working together.

Does tech do this, too? If so, it could explain the need to import labor, and reflect or contribute to an artificial inability to find high-tech labor domestically?

That is-- some of the collusion enabled by "common leadership" might not be possible with a workforce having full agency--but, with the risk of blacklisting, basically, there is potentially another side to the collective action of the executive minority.

Of course, blacklisting might be illegal, so, hard to learn about, but so might be some other other forms of collusion, which the paper talks about?

I am not a lawyer, just wondering if this is part of a bigger workforce pattern, reaching further to the lower rungs of the ladder, too, even if in the inverse form (exclusion, not inclusion).

I have wondered about the same (and/or DisplayPort) but with QSFP optics to simplify dealing with the four channels of data.

"Classic" DVI-derived HDMI would probably be trickier because of variable clock speeds and additional data but modern HDMI 2.1 is pretty similar to DisplayPort in that it uses four lanes at fixed rates and sends data as packets over those.

I would love to be able to use standard widely available fiber patch cables for long distance video runs rather than needing proprietary cables only offered in fixed lengths and equipped with enormous connectors that are not friendly to conduit.

Also these days data rates are getting high enough that even normal lengths are problematic, DisplayPort just recently announced that 3 meter cables will need active components for the full 80 gigabit per second mode, which means that a computer on the floor connecting to a monitor on a standing desk will not be guaranteed to work with passive cables. HDMI also recently announced version 2.2 with a bump from 48 to 96 gigabits per second so they'll presumably be in the same boat.
You're generally correct, but I imagine you won't get a good reaction on HN to this viewpoint. Most people on here unfortunately don't really an understanding of politics beyond a very surface level one.

Only one of those questions (earth warming rate) is clearly defined and scientifically addressable, as all the others have fairly subjective definitions (what is poverty? what is crime? how do we measure inflation objectively? etc.)

Even with warming, a 'fact' would be a data point at a particular time and location, assuming your sensor was correctly calibrated. You have to look at millions of data points across the entire globe for decades to get a sense of the current warming rate (which could be negative, flat, or positive). You have to do complicated statistics on all those data points to get a warming rate, and you'll have error bars on that, and the end result is not a 'fact' so much as a bounded estimate (+0.1 C / decade +/- 10% is plausible for the average surface temperature change averaged over the entire planet).

We can't even say with real certainty that 2100 will be warmer than today, as a supervolcano, asteroid impact, or global nuclear war could reverse the trend.
Oh, I assumed the image gen at least was running on the fancy remote GPU server.

But it being on-device doesn't prove it's not a DALL-E 3. Just like GPT-3 & GPT-4 & Llamas come in many sizes, some of which are (probably) feasible to run on-device...

Still, I suppose that probably does imply that it's some Apple half-hearted image-gen model (trained on a lot of DALL-E 3 contaminated data?), since I'm not sure OA would want to risk leaking even years from now a tiny, terrible, hyper-optimized-for-size DALL-E 3's weights.

> the process of pregnancy is incredibly physically strenuous

Friend just gave birth. I honestly don’t understand how anyone who has been proximate to childbirth can believe in intelligent design.

Everything about human birthing is a hack. The placenta. The rotation and cord and length of the process. The ridiculous frequency of stupid fuck-ups which often result in the death of a baby or the mother or both. Pregnancy strikes me as one of those processes proximate technology could absolutely do better than nature in 9/10 cases.
Indeed, generational improvements are at an all time low. Most of the "revolutionary" AI and/or GPU improvements are less precision (fp32 -> fp16 -> fp8 -> fp4) or adding ever more fake pixels, fake frames, and now in the most recent iteration multiple fake frames per computed frame.

I believe Nvidia has some published numbers for the 5000 series that showed DLSS off performance, which allowed a fair comparison to the previous generation, on the order of 25%, then removed it.

Thankfully the 3rd party benchmarks that use the same settings on old and new hardware should be out soon.

I don’t take myself very seriously. I’d rather be happy than protected. If my conversations are used to build some future AI, good; I’d like to be immortalized somehow.

You’re not wrong, but you’re not right either. For whatever it’s worth, I absolutely plan on self hosting (nvidia Digit!) my future conversation partner. But nothing about me is terribly private.

I strongly disagree that the rate of inflation is a fact, nor un-debatable. The mechanism for calculating it officially has changed drastically over the decades, and always in ways that reduce the official rate. It’s a politicized metric.

I don't care about the fact checking part but I do care about the "removing the limits on political content on feeds".

I think everyone can agree that polarizing content being pushed into people's feed for engagement is a very very bad mix with politics. There is no benefit for anyone in doing this, except for meta's metrics and propaganda outlets.
True, that alone keeps me away from google.
This is actually not bad at all. Whenever I want to get a feel for a search engine, I do the following searches:

* 1U vax

* 1U amiga

* vax 5g netbsd

The first tells me whether commercial interests are prioritized over other results. The second tells me whether titles and keywords are prioritized over content. The third, well, one can guess, tests whether the overwhelming number of results about "vax" and/or "5g" means the search engine doesn't even take "netbsd" in to account.

For reference, I have what I think is the only 1U VAX in the world (VAXstation 4000/30 in a 1U case) and I have a 1U Amiga, but it's not the only one. For the last result, I posted on Twitter (before it turned evil) about a VAXstation 4000/90a connecting to the Internet using a 5G hotspot over USB.

So lexy.uno did very well for the first search, did moderately OK for the second, and didn't fail spectacularly for the third. Considering how much other search engines suck, this is quite good!
Ghutterstock has plenty of $$$ to make a lawsuit. If the image catalog is close enough, that is a copyright violation.
I think a project like this is a good idea with the popularity of retro 3d games and "de-makes" now days

Using a modern engine seems overkill
Most good looking games built with Unity don’t ’look like Unity games’ so people don’t think of them as constituting an example of ‘what Unity games look like’. So the archetype for ‘what a Unity game looks like’ remains at ‘pretty rough’.

The ‘art’ of making stuff look good has not been lost at all. It’s just very unevenly distributed.

When a team has good model makers and good texture artists and good animators and good visual programming, it looks great, whether it’s built in Unreal or Unity or a bespoke engine or whatever.

> Does USB-C not have a way to indicate that a potential power source is a battery so that the MacBook can charge it if it's plugged in to power, and reverse roles otherwise? Is this a fault how the power bank or macOS implements power negotiation, or is this scenario simply unaddressed in USB-C?

USB-C does support this. It's known as a DRP (Dual Role Port). USB PD can be used to signal switching between downstream and upstream facing ports depending on state of charge of the battery for instance. The problem is that many devices do not support this, and I strongly suspect your power bank is the issue here. iPhones and Apple stuff in general supports DRP renegotiation quite well. They tend to be USB-C compliant as much as possible, which can lead to issues with interfacing with 'USB-C' devices that are not actually properly compliant.

The self-own that was the IA taking it upon themselves to decide that copyright would not be enforced upon them by big rightsholders “because COVID” is not a good deed.

It is foolishness masquerading as virtue. I used to be a donor, but no more, as this was an unforced error. The IA is in danger because the IA management was dumb.

I don’t believe in copyright, personally, and I’ve been an avid pirate of every type of media since I got on the internet at 9.6kbps, but to think that Big Content won’t sue whenever and however they can is simply naïve.
Regarding the tradies, could the cost of congestion pricing be tax-deductible or something like that?
I don't think that prompt alone would send your form data to your email. We're using Nodemailer under the hood, while you could "prompt engineer" your way to having functional forms, configuring things like custom SMTP would take more than just that prompt. The idea with Formbee is to have a fairly low friction way to send form data to email, or webhooks. With the hosted option its as simple as sending a post request, self hosting can be as easy as spinning up a docker image, and configuring a few env vars.

Lambda is great though! We should add some Lambda boilerplate to our docs to make it easy to self host form submission with Lambda.

Looking at it charitably, it doesn't seem very different than going to some outdoor shop NatureLand(r), asking for a Thermos and them showing you a NatureLand(r) thermo flask. Sure, maybe you really wanted a thermo flask of the Thermos brand, but most people just want an insulated bottle for tea or some such.

I mean, I wouldn't react more to somebody saying that they googled something with bing than I react when somebody offers me tea but it's herbal infusion.
I'll have some reaction that is wrong, but it's also expected and common.
> [1] My first smartphone was the HTC Thunderbolt. No one, not even me, will speak of that thing with nostalgia. It was pretty cool owning one of the first LTE devices on the market, though. There was no contention at all in areas with LTE service and I was getting 75+Mbps mobile tethering in 2011. Then everyone else had LTE too and the good times ended.

I also had the HTC Thunderbolt and remember getting ~75Mbps initially. My wife's family lived way out in the countryside in Illinois and had something like 2Mbps DSL internet. But on one visit, I realized that if I walked down the road a short distance to the top of a hill where I had line of sight to what turned out to be a Verizon tower, I could still get ~75Mbps! I took advantage of that once or twice to get things downloaded in a more reasonable amount of time.

How many real numbers exist? New proof moves closer to an answer (2021)
A lot of flashlights and cheap gadgets have USB-C port but can only charge from USB-A port. The reason is that they cheaped out on including the resistors that signal legacy USB mode. The USB-C to USB-A cable has the resistors.

The smartphones should have proper USB-C port, I haven't heard of one with charging problems, and included USB-A cable cause cheap.
Most voters don't care much about any of the details of this. They're not terribly unhappy with FB because they're using to keep track of people from high school back in the 90ies, or their families, or local recreation groups or something.

This is all just loud, performative subjugation to the incoming administration, that does take things like attacking trans people and immigrants as good stuff.

this sounds like client side templating to me (some annotated HTML that is "hydrated" from a server) but attached directly to a JSON api rather than having a reactive model

if you have a schema then you are breaking the uniform interface of REST: the big idea with REST is that the client (that is, the browser) doesn't know or care what a given end point returns structurally: it just knows that it's hypermedia and it can render the content and all the hypermedia controls in that content to the user

the necessity of a schema means you are coupling your client and server in a manner that REST (in the traditional sense) doesn't. See https://htmx.org/essays/hateoas

REST (original sense) does couple your responses to your UI, however, in that your responses are your UI, see https://htmx.org/essays/two-approaches-to-decoupling/

I may be misunderstanding what you are proposing, but I do strongly agree w/Fielding (https://ics.uci.edu/~fielding/pubs/dissertation/rest_arch_st...) that the uniform interface of REST is its most distinguishing feature, and the necessity of a shared schema between client and server indicates that it is not a property of the proposed system.
Yeah, there is a whole standard for it
