The county where I live recently (within the last couple of years) redid a two-way stop along the road I take to work. It used to be east-west that had the stop signs, but for some reason they switched them to north-south. Even more baffling, they didn't repaint the stop lines so east-west still had those and north-south didn't. It effectively turned the intersection into a four-way stop with extra confusion, frustration, and danger.

They eventually turned it into an actual four-way, thankfully. I think everyone would have been happier if they just hadn't messed with it in the first place.
Same for me, I was a big fan of his engineering mindset, but even though he probably still has that, the negative stuff he says and now does completely overwhelms everything.

TinyFeed v1.0.0 Release
One year ago i started to work on TinyFeed, I didn't like existing solutions for feeds reader. Many of them seemed overly complex, most of them require a database (and didn't event support sqlite). For a simple feed reader, it felt overkill. What I wanted was an easy to setup app and with a clear and minimal interface like HN. Now, I’m happy to announce that it has slowly improved since then. It’s now reaching its first stable release, version 1.0!

The latest release highlights:

- Daemon mode: Supports background operation for continuous feed updates, allowing TinyFeed to run as a service on a server or a laptop.

- Interface redesign: A simpler, more readable web page.
It's even harder to tell them apart in a bear market where the job market is stacked in favor of employers (for the moment).

I have no idea how common this, I hadn’t much of this trend among tech weirdos before this article.

The one thought that I imagine is being told you’re “above average” and “destined to do great things” your whole life by your socially-deemed successful parents is just another set of probably unrealistic expectations placed on kids.
You can not say this without the caveat that it is location dependent. This is an illegal action in some cities and states. Like in California, where that video was taken, yellow means STOP if you can safely do so. Both of these cars had ample time to stop and chose to accelerate to make the light.
I disagree. The first car doesn't even cross their side of the pedestrian crossing before the red light blinks on, so they have had ample time to prepare to stop and are running a red light. The second car is more debatable but also had enough time to stop, as the light turns red while they are still in the middle of the intersection.
It's not as simple. Schools in my county are extremely selective even though they don't appear on outside. With arduous processes for application and applications only open for one day that only insiders know, or they extend application links to certain people with plausible denial that it's an open application through their arduous links.

Public schools on the other hand are straight forward. Once we move towards schools deciding who they want, it separates rich from poor students, white from colored students.

I already see it in chartered vs public schools in my county.

Not arguing, but what is UE in this context?
Yellow generally means do not enter the intersection unless you are so close that you cannot reasonably stop. It is not legal to enter the intersection if you cannot clear it before the signal turns red. Exact rules and enforcement vary by state.
I'm about 99% sure that was a rhetorical question so you can ask yourself why we put cars before people.
Don't know why this is downvoted, seems like a reasonable question. I don't know much about SF or public schools in the US. Are they all bad? do we have data comparing public/private schools in these areas?
OT, but it fired me up a bit - people that enter the intersection on green or orange awaiting a break to turn left. And then don’t clear the intersection on red. Now they’re in everyone’s way. How do you get them to understand they’ve already “run the light” and just need to move?
The problem with a list like this is that a “bad website” is in the eye of the beholder. I’m not saying that there’s anything wrong with you personally not liking the Shopify or the Semrush blog. But I think that everyone else has their own calculus.

It’s the same reason why social media blocklists can be problematic—everyone’s calculus is different.

My suggestion is that you promote it as a starter and suggest that users fork it for their own needs.

This screen is after the "walk us through your resume, explain what you've built" conversation, where we ask them about specific challenges, decisions they made, etc.

Everyone who has made it to this screen has already spoken to us about their previous work and at least seemed to have some skill in their general area of programming.

What we're testing for doesn't need to be memorized or practiced. Anyone who can program for money should be able to do things like FizzBuzz, repeat the pattern in Pascal's Triangle with a for loop, or come up with a basic strategy to eliminate non-primes.

Even if you blow the part of the interview where you need to identify prime/not-prime, as long as you show us that you have a process you're fine.

Maybe we just suck at or are too charitable when it comes to processing what candidates have claimed to have done - I'm unsure.
Yes, you can absolutely add a middle man to sort through the spam for you, and that "solves" the problem in the sense that you are trading money for time. It's no different than paying for a personal assistant to collect your mail for you and pass along the valuable stuff. That said, it's incredibly inefficient and most people, for most interactions, cannot hire a third party to handle those interactions for them.

So no, I don't think adding layers of middle men really solves the problem for most people.
The road design is what causes bad or good driving. The road you describe should narrow before the blind curve so the drivers would (often enough unconsciously) slow down before it. For the pedestrian crossing, small islands that separate the lanes and give pedestrians a safe space will help.

Roundabouts aren't perfect but they greatly reduce the speed of traffic at the crossing point (while increasing the overall throughput of the intersection).

Without looking up statistics (and I'd love to be proven wrong here), I'd be willing to guess that roundabouts may result in some marginal increase in minor accidents but massively reduces fatalities or accidents that leave the pedestrian in the ICU.

Additionally with a roundabout the crossing can be moved a few cars down the street away from the roundabout itself so that cars can have line of sight to safely approach the crossing and pedestrians have time to react to incoming vehicles. On top of that proper placement of crossings allows a normal zebra crossing to be upgraded to a pelican, puffin, or toucan crossing without impeding flow of traffic within the roundabout.

I found this explanation extremely unsatisfying considering that you could make the same choice and put your child into private education if you're a successful tech person.

I know families that homeschool and I like to read articles like this one to see if anyone "gets it." So far, no hits.

They're opting out of mediocre instruction and government-mandated values enforcement ("DEI" in its public school curricula form); the other kids are irrelevant. The homeschoolers I know are average and have lots of social activities with average peers in their community.
> “I’ve decided to raise the bar on performance management and move out low-performers faster,” Chief Executive Officer Mark Zuckerberg said in the memo. “We typically manage out people who aren’t meeting expectations over the course of a year, but now we’re going to do more extensive performance-based cuts during this cycle.”

I can't imagine working for someone that sends out a memo like that. But, I say that as someone that’s never worked at Mega cap. Maybe my view changes if I was working for Meta. Dunno.

I feel pretty confident saying it is not following a simpler pattern. It is doing something very hard, with far less training data and a much more alien form of compute (which is also much slower in general than computers).

Is there some elegant learning algorithm in nature that enables this? Maybe. But I don’t think there’s any simplification of the task, that nature has found. For example, I doubt we will find a 100 line algorithm to do the motion the dragonfly did, or a simple physics equation to describe it etc. My intuition, stems from the bitter lesson, a lot of these tasks are irreducibly complex and trying to find elegant simple models, tends to be a waste of time.
This is really it. It gets so frustrating reading HN sometimes because such a huge swath of commenters just seem ok with this stuff. You have companies doing evil shit and the sentiment is basically if it's not illegal, then it's fine.

Ask Brussels
here in italy at certain roundabouts we have traffic lights that only work when a pedestrian called them. otherwise, the traffic lights flash a flashing yellow light and as a car you can use the roundabout as if the traffic lights didn't exist.

it's quite useful, if you ask me, it combines the best of both solutions. of course the traffic light has a countdown so if someone presses it immediately after having worked, it will wait for 30sec/1 min before being red again
This is a great line, thanks.
Ioniq 6 is an awesome alternative to the Model 3. I picked one up last fall and couldn't be happier
I had to look this up. In California in particular, this is true, which surprised me.

Per a random law firm:
California’s yellow light law permits drivers to enter an intersection during a yellow light. No violation exists unless any part of the car is over the stopping line when the light turns red. However, the law encourages drivers to slow down before reaching the intersection.

Whereas in, for example, Massachusetts, this would be considered running a red light.

Data science, specifically contextual data enhancement, small language model evaluation, and helping companies evaluate their use of LLMs. Nearly all unspecialized companies are flying blind with LLMs.

I was in ad tech, specifically media analysis and pipeline evals.
The way I learned this was "in legal, out legal," meaning that you are not allowed to be driving in the intersection while the light is red (aka you have to be finished transiting by the time the light changes).

Is this not the law in California?

There was another post on HN recently about "multi-armed bandit" problems and an algorithm which occasionally retries previously nonperforming choices on purpose to "test" if their performance has changed.

I wonder if YouTube's algorithm works similarly, i.e. occasionally suggesting a video that has nothing to do with your preferences, to see if it can hook you.

>Ireland classified their bread as cake because it has so much sugar in it.

Which is fascinating when you consider that refined flour, used to make most breads, breaks down to 70%+ glucose (the sugar thing that is the cause of enormous health consequences). Sugar/sucrose only breaks down to 50% glucose (the rest fructose that the body purges). So you literally get less blood sugar when you replace flour with an equal quantity of sucrose/sugar.

Somewhere else in here someone mentioned that bread in the US tastes sweet, and again if you put white bread on your tongue, it is basically sugar. Your enzymes immediately start cracking the simple carbs into glucose molecules. This basic of chemistry is true worldwide.

The focus on sugars in particular might be a bit misleading and something that will be seen as an error in nutrition advice. People choose low or artificial sugar options that are instead simple carbohydrates, not realizing that they are quite literally eating worse than the equivalent amount of sugar.

To some degree yes. Funny enough, llamaimperative's book suggestion goes into detail on how television is where this really started ramp up and how the Age of Reason was likely the peak of rational argument, where the focal point of transfer of information was through the written word.

"He repeatedly states that the eighteenth century, the "Age of Reason", was the pinnacle for rational argument. Only in the printed word, he states, could complicated truths be rationally conveyed. Postman gives a striking example: many of the first fifteen U.S. presidents could probably have walked down the street without being recognized by the average citizen, yet all these men would have been quickly known by their written words. However, the reverse is true today. The names of presidents or even famous preachers, lawyers, and scientists call up visual images, typically television images, but few, if any, of their words come to mind. The few that do almost exclusively consist of carefully chosen soundbites. Postman mentions Ronald Reagan, and comments upon Reagan's abilities as an entertainer."

You take Zuckerberg seriously and believe his thought is of value. You are wrong. He is wrong.

My belief is that we are over optimized for a particular situation that is ultimately unsustainable. You cannot make money if no one can pay you. That is the most serious issue corporations face right now. If you want some sense of that, ask yourself how the stock market is doing versus income. Then ask if it is sustainable for the stock market to do well people do not have money to spend.

There was an interesting, to me, discussion about cargo cultism recently. You have seen "cargo" appear and so you think it is caused by the observable factors. And perhaps we can generalize the term:

We do not understand the effects of AI at this point. It is likely that AI will help people become more productive programmers. But this is a two edged sword for Mark.
