> We can only guess why users flag things.

I'm sure you've considered this feature, but since flagging is such a heavyweight (in terms of ranking impact) activity, shouldn't a flagger need to at least articulate (via text or a drop-down menu) why they are flagging it? Even vague choices like "Site guideline violation," "Spam," "Astroturfing," "Political flame bait" might offer some of the missing insight.
10 years? An Inconvenient Truth came out in 2006, that's nearly two decades and Gore didn't invent climate change any more than he invented the Internet.
This flies in the face of circadean rhythm research. I know the human body is extremely adaptable, but imagine making every single day a jet-lagged day. My younger self may have been able to tolerate it well enough, but there's no way I'd come out unscathed now.
The actual Salesforce core products are very good. Their documentation is well written. The Salesforce flow low code tool works well.

Their overly complex object/row/field permissions is a hot mess. Mulesoft is limited; there is a reason why they tried to buy Informatica.

Their marketing and hype machine hurts their credibility imo.
Before I say anything, my actual advice is to find something that puts as few barriers between yourself and making music as possible.

Based on your interests I would highly recommend buying a cheap electric guitar and plugging it into GarageBand to emulate amps and effects pedals. Learn some power chords and explore the effects. You'll be making music within 15 minutes.

Please, please don't make your own music software in C until later in this process or else you'll spend most of your time not making music.
I naively assumed that https://19hz.info would have a terrible search ranking, but it actually ranks #1 for "19hz". Fantastic website, been using it for a while.
If I was a UW alum I would make it clear I am paying attention to how they deal with this.
I upvoted your comment, but my upvotes are censored so sadly it didn't impact your score. This site is completely a propaganda arm for YC and their interests.

The mod even admitted that "the algorithm" doesn't allow my upvotes to show: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=42639821
A brilliant idea, maybe all software should block DLL without English names. Could even incorporate the new technique into the operating system.
I had a buddy who was a lawyer, who spent a few minutes looking over the contract as a favor. There was no bet for them to call since I wasn't threatening action, just pointing out what the contract actually said (which my buddy confirmed for me).

It was under a thousand bucks so I could have just taken them to small claims court if they didn't fold. That may have worked in my favor.
The algorithms I tried to make as good as I knew how. Maybe 95% there.
Nice tail handling. A lot of things supported.
I like or interface over other alternatives, but I'm biased here.

> [The university will not defacto expel me at the end of the quarter if] I agree to work on a comparable solution for the university focused on solving the underlying problem I was building HuskySwap for. They would presumably own the IP and were clear that I wouldn’t be compensated. But it was implied that they would then remove the hold, allowing me to graduate.

Holy shit. Do you have this in writing? If you do, transfer the records to several places that YOU control... don't rely on University-controlled systems to keep this information safe.

If they relayed this to you verbally, and you are in a one-party-consent state, did you record the conversation?

If your report is reasonably accurate, they are absolutely NOT acting in good faith and absolutely WILL NOT act in good faith. If you have records of their statements, you should take those records to a lawyer and ask for advice.
They are volunteering and usually get time reduced for doing so.
I appreciate your response! This is basically how I have managed to finish small games in the past. Only issue is much of my intention on finishing those small projects was to find the 'right' way forward, when that clearly isn't an effective way of thinking about it.

I think my best bet is to apply the same mentality you're describing to larger projects, like you're saying. As long as I don't get too sloppy, refactoring will be a necessary effort when I actually hit issues that stall my progress.
I don't expect a lot of crossover between web dev and space exploration.
They can have a conversation without being representation and should connect OP to someone who can represent them.

California recently acquired several C-130H firefighting aircraft. These are extremely expensive platforms and while they're useful for fast response in some scenarios they're hardly a complete solution. For these particular fires the winds were often too strong for air tankers to fly. Effective fire prevention and suppression requires a variety of different solutions. It would be foolish to focus on a single issue.

Sex has always been a commodity. There's a reason why we call sex workers "the oldest profession".

What more, the societies that talk the most about vices and crack down on them tend to be the ones where the actual sexual abuse flourishes behind the scenes (e.g. Victorian England).
But this IS the strategy. One thing after another, giving perception that SF is "leading" the way and enterprise customers continue to listen to the SF sales reps who just need to tell the story, so on and on it goes. :)
If a company exec is stupid enough to not hire when there has been no demonstrated replacement for the engineers, they are likely going to drive the company into the ground in short order.

I don’t believe that companies would be stupid enough to kneecap their own growth because a SaaS company that has stopped innovating 5 years ago decided they are happy with their current headcount and used AI as an excuse.
I own a MS Silver Partner (int al). They (MS) are a handy place to stuff things for a while until something better comes along and I have lots of options. It takes a while to scale!

At the moment, dumping VMware is taking quite a lot of my time too.
It's important to have a discussion about one of the most powerful people in tech behaving in a completely immoral fashion. Is it safe to use OpenAI, I think not. This site has a vested interest in squashing that very important discussion, so we're not allowed to have it here.
I've always resisted that, but could be persuaded. Not sure we'd get the true reasons though.
1) Yes, I am a Sailfish user. I have been quite happy with the older generation hardware up to Xperia X. From what I read the newer generations have been more problematic. Yeah, after having skipped some I ordered the bleeding edge Reeder and was bitten by the disk encryption bug. Have been busy recently, should finally check what is the repair situation for that...

Android: After my Xpdria X HW got unusable as a daily phone I have used Android (mostly without Google). But general administration seems to be a lot of work a lot to learn. In GNU/Linux I know what to do without any extra effort. Time is limited...
Wait until you get a medical bill after an expensive procedure. You'll get 6 bills from a bunch of different doctors and facilities, you'll have no idea who any of these people are, and none of the amounts billed match up to what your insurance says is owed or was paid. They can't or won't explain what the costs were, or why some portion of it was covered or not. It'll take a whole day to reconcile everything after talking to multiple billing departments, and your insurance company.

And that's why the scam they are trying to pull on you works for a lot of people. It's too much headache to deal with all of it and fight it, and usually you're still sick or recovering and won't have the mental power to deal with it, or notice that it's even a scam.
Facebook is a cash machine. $62 billion net profit, from ads. Anything with that much revenue will attract fraud. Facebook will likely present themselves as victims, taken advantage of by organized criminals.

Real life does not behave like an econ 101 class. Real estate in particular does not allow for perfect competition - there are significant entry and exit costs, and demand/supply tend toward inelasticity.
AI Glasses will give us Digital Superpowers
this is super frustrating, as platforms such as Facebook and Twitter claim to be the digital equivalent of the "public town square" yet take on none of the responsibilities and transparency that come along with it, just all the profits.

I would suspect something a bit more sinister: the very organizations you are targeting probably started a mass campaign to "report" your content, which triggered automated systems that caused your posts to disappear. A more cynical me would add in the fact that any manual review by Facebook staff would trigger even more aggressive moves to silence you, given that you're directly accusing them of inadequate moderation of their platform, which at best doesn't make them look good, and at worst, means they lose advertising $$ that those groups may be spending with Facebook to target those very victims.
Trivially possible with controlnets!
I don't think the examples add up. Like, yes, if the system has a way to do auth then you should use it. But if the system's way of doing auth has nasty surprises, rather than cargo-cult the workaround to those nasty surprises, you should fix them! (Especially if the article wants to argue that adding inconsistency is bad - then by the same token removing the inconsistency that someone added before you is good). And if the system has its own custom auth implementation that does the same thing as a standard library, you should probably pull it out completely and replace it with that standard library.
As someone that sometimes has to deal with Salesforce, if AI can make the product better, god speed. Salesforce has so many warts, it's not even funny.
> why infinitesimals might be useful

Ok, I'll ask. Why might they be useful? Is there any situation that you know of where infinitesimals can better attack a problem than the old-fashioned Calculus?
I think a lot of CEO were sales people.

Being in that field, they can see where LLMs would fail at it.

They can understand that you can’t just replace a sales team with LLMs.

They don’t have that for engineering…
Salesforce has the ability for users to define their own bespoke data models. This modeling is nearly always done by sales people who may or may not be good at sales, but are almost never good at data modeling - not an insult, simply stating that data modeling isn't their job - and so the models are almost always a mess. The problems flow from there
"Frankly, we feel this is a flagrant breach of goodwill and trust for Microsoft’s customers"

Maybe you meant getting a PR merged. Then 3 days seems possible depending on the approach.
At my current company, the team is small so approval process is quite fast and not too fussy.
sorry about that - it should work now!
My inside sources at salesforce say that this is just cover for them replacing existing employees with H1Bs and PERMs from Asia. That's why there are still SWE jobs on the company site even though he says they aren't hiring

He's lying. They are hiring. They just refuse to hire you if you were born in America

It's batshit insane either way in the grand scheme of things. It just goes to show how market forces don't necessarily incentivize the things we actually want or need.
I have tried on occasion to work night shift. It is OK for a few weeks but within months I reach extreme exhaustion falling asleep while operating dangerous machinery, despite sleeping during the day. I experienced a similar phenomenon working on a fishing boat where I simply never adapted to sea sickness and after weeks of throwing up almost all food and fluids it took months to crawl back to activity and recover including the pneumonia induced from my immune system and homeostasis being beat down.

Human body can be really bad at adapting to unworldly environments to the point you totally break down.
PC power supplies already support 240V. Their connectors can take 120V or 240V.
I stopped using it about 12 years ago. So you can thank me for their number being 3,190,000 DAUs and not 3,190,001 DAUs. (point being, while individual action sounds like a nice solution, it certainly doesn't operate on "webscale")
Those startups take care of that themselves.
Not blaming, just explaining what is happening. You're of course free to believe what you wish, but I think you're wrong about "most people". The bulk of the community is satisfied with what we're doing. How do I know that? Because if it weren't the case, we'd never hear the end of it. I've been on the wrong side of the community in the past, I know what that's like, and this isn't it. Being on the wrong side of the community is such a painful experience that striving to avoid that is basically the principle that drives how we operate HN.

As for Sam: this site has hosted countless negativity fests about Sam (as well as other celebrities people love to post about). This story is different, and the way we're handling it would be the same if you replaced his name with anyone else's.
if that was the only one … :)
I'm surprised this has caught on yet... Well, not really I suppose -- for obvious power-tripping reasons.

However, I could see the issue of AI 'hallucinations' being a non-issue in this domain because many in C-Suite positions have been 'hallucinating' for decades.
I see they carefully avoided the cringy word vishing.

It seems to me like Selenium would have been a more appropriate API to extend from, then. Playwright, despite whatever people want it to be otherwise, is explicitly positioned for testing, first.

People in the browser automation space consistently ignore this, for whatever reason. Though, it's right on their site in black and white.

This is wrong. California may not do enough to mitigate fire damage but they are certainly doing more than nothing.
There's several parts to the story. The first part is compliance to HR policy. I'm not here to defend either the policy or the breach.

The interesting parts to me are twofold:

Firstly, the sharing of how to hide your location from your employer, the normalising of "this is how you nomad on the sly" it's a subculture all of its own I didn't think about but now, clearly "needs to exist" under demand from the sly nomad community.

Secondly the ways MFA leaks info, which I found extremely surprising. But then, ops checking on you is now increasingly normal: work mate got called for "excessive SSH outbound" which made him very angry: it's his normal day to day working pattern. His laptop snitched on him after an upgrade, and his prior pattern not being logged raised a flag. So, the new MFA told a tale. And, the community says "yea this is how to ensure the MFA device only says what you want it to say"

This is all a bit silly. The war on WFH includes a war on digital nomads. Hiding your location is also a bit meh. What if something crops up which rationally needs your real presence at work?
Presumably this is more relying on the prevalence of subdomains and for users to not notice that 17505-apple[.]com is not the same thing as 17505.apple[.]com
You must not be aware of the research on Non-24[1] (or "Non-24-hour sleep–wake disorder") which OP seems to have (though perhaps they also aren't aware this is a thing).

Not saying non-24 is good for you, but for people unable to follow a 24-hour schedule, free-running sleep (which is what OP is doing) is vastly better than constantly pushing through sleep deprivation, when one's schedule allows for it.

Speaking as someone with non-24 myself (which is much more severe in the winter)

edit: after reading more closely, it appears OP has entrained to a 28-hour day rather than doing free-running sleep; 28-hour days are convenient in that the week gets sliced into 6 days and allows for a consistent weekly schedule. However, I suspect OP actually naturally gravitates towards a shorter day like 26 or 27 hours based on their napping patterns. I also wonder if they might even have more success with 24-hour days and regular exercise, as from their description it almost seems like the daily exercise practice which they started after the 28-hour day might be regulating their circadian rhythm to be closer to a natural day.

See a sleep psychologist. This is likely a non-24-hour sleep-wake rhythm disorder.
They’re talking about Regional Burns.

They’re all over America and I presume the world.
According to the DOL, about 5600 are H1Bs. 1100 PERMs in the last year too. with a global workforce of 72000, these two alone (both in US) are 9.3% of their employees

13k employees in Hyderabad alone. That's 18% of their employees. So about 27%
No, that's clearly wrong. These posts all have tons of upvotes (without even being allowed to stay on the front page!), the community wants them.

Edit: You can downvote my comments and censor my account all you want. I learned today that to engage with this site one must take an oppositional stance. I'll just make a new account since this one is clearly compromised. I encourage everyone to do the same. Hell make 10 every time you see you're censored.
That's a cool idea. I think the arrow directions you chose for sibling and parent/child directions are very intuitive.
We can classify LLM's as 'people' like we do for corporations in the US. (sarcasm)
Don’t forget IOT Cloud back when IOT was a thing. I think I was one of the first 10 people holding that certification. I really liked the architecture but the product sort of went nowhere. After learning about data cloud I feel like a lot of that architecture (iirc it was called Thunder) wound up in data cloud.
Evernote also had an ownership change as they were sold to Bending Spoons. Bending Spoons then moved development to Europe and raised prices.
I said nothing about "densification." This whole diatribe is in your mind. My original point was about there being a well-documented shortage of housing across the country. You can argue against it if you like but just look foolish.

You point at few absolute price decreases which is true but don't take into account multiple variables (like population increases, inflation, tax policy) or understand higher order derivatives. In which case you've got no business arguing in these threads.
Note that this isn't limited to universities: Larger headcount's make promotions easier everywhere. A modern trick is to hire remote workers from abroad: I might not need 5 people, but 5 remote devs from Mexico are much more affordable than 5 US employees, and they sure mean one can justify someone in the US that is already here becoming a dev lead.
> If a company exec is stupid enough to not hire when there has been no demonstrated replacement for the engineers, they are likely going to drive the company into the ground in short order.

Who cares when they'll just float away on a golden parachute to the next company that will overpay them to make terrible decisions. Executives will happily jump at any excuse to lower wages, cut jobs, and pocket the money they saved while raising their prices. Making it harder for people to find work because of layoffs and hiring freezes just means that if AI under-delivers (and it always does), they can just hire on a bunch of new people later at lower wages thanks to the larger pool of people looking for work.
Get a lawyer. Holding your degree hostage unless you work for them for free is off the charts ridiculous. They might have just paid for your entire education.

When I went to the UW I used Arexx and my 2400 baud modem to turbo register for classes the moment the system went live.
These are jobs required to sponsor a PERM greencard. In order to qualify, an American cannot be able to do the job, which clearly they are (SF let go thousands in the last few years alone), so they "ghost" any US applicant and claim they didn't receive the application

AFAIK, each job is only posted for 2 days to meet the minimum legal requirement for the PERM
We don’t approve. You are only productive if your butt is on your office seat 9-5.
Most of the benefits are things that you could just be more intentional about in a 24h cycle. Glad it works for him on 28h and I don't think he's endorsing this for others necessarily, but my goodness quite a lot of disruption to accomplish what others should be able to accomplish in a standard 24h day.
I'm still uneasy about it. They're in a vulnerable position and the alternative is unpleasant because of the same people offering the "opportunity". The pay is only legal because they're prisoners. If it was a fair wage I'd be more comfortable although still uneasy.
