reminds me of a teammate who pushed for fast tests and clean code. most of us thought it slowed us down, until a big production bug hit. he pushed a fix in 15 min / his tests made it easy to find and solve. after that, we all bought in. small changes can make a huge difference.
Of course he does. Happy monopoly.
Part of the goal might be to stay under the radar.

In a pre-app world, I wrote some blogs with ads.

Some of my favourite ones were dumb but fairly evergreen articles where I had domain knowledge like “best directions to the dmv offices in $mytown”. (Pro-tip: it’s upstairs at the XYZ shopping mall, but if you park by the pizza place, you’ll be at the doors that take you straight there)

Reliable and consistent income.

For me it depends on what I'm doing. I too like the edit and resend ability in firefox dev tools but what I've found it lacking is the option to automatically open dev tools for pop ups, which is possible in chrome.
> Could it be that since western countries have largely plateaued in terms of growth and have fallen behind China that the same countries will struggle to provide the same quality of life as they once did

If they have plateaued in terms of growth, why would they struggle to provide the same quality of life?

Also, I wouldn't say "have fallen behind China". China has seen remarkable growth on many fronts, and millions of pople have been uprooted from poverty. By most metrics the quality of life is still lower than in the US/UK/AU/NZ/EU. (No, GDP, GDP per capita, GDP growth are not quality of life).
The answer is cost of living, make it cheaper to live and you solve almost everything.

This goes back to the "olden days", we'd call them optics because there's a lens, an aperture, focus, waveguides, etc. Newer antennas actually DO have fiber optics (RF over fiber) conversion so you don't have to deal with waveguides and/or coaxial cables, just convert right to fiber at the feed.
Do ant colonies have a scrum master who have no clue how realistic goals are or not but decide to set them anyway? Do ant colonies avoid listening to those with actual knowledge and skillsets that goes against their unrealistic expectations?

Ask HN: How do you guard against ChatGPT use in technical interviews?
Yesterday, we did two basic-screen technical interviews where both candidates appeared to use LLMs to generate nearly their entire answers.

We do this quick screen after a 30-min behavioral interview to make sure that candidates can generally operate at the skill level they claim on their resumes.

In the past, we've been shocked by the number of people who will talk a big game, but have really rudimentary programming skills when the rubber meets the road.

The questions are:

1. FizzBuzz

2. Generate the first 20 rows of Pascal's Triangle

3. Drop all non-prime integers from a pre-defined set of 2-to-N

The first candidate we didn't totally suspect, until the second candidate provided nearly letter-for-letter the same answers (same variable names, function names, etc.).

After the interviews, we popped our deck into ChatGPT + Claude and it output exactly what these two candidates had provided.

Last week, a third candidate sent us clearly ChatGPT'd code as an example of some of his work.

I'm unsure what to do here, so I come to you HN to ask, what you have done to guard against the use of LLMs in remote technical interviews? Thanks!

Bonus: The nail in the coffin was when the second candidate immediately clocked the last question as leveraging the Sieve of Eratosthenes. Previously, he'd shown us a pretty impressive portfolio. When asked how he knew the Sieve of Eratosthenes off the top of his head, he claimed he had used it in one of his commercial portfolio projects but couldn't explain how.
Why don't we all organize then?
I think we're headed for an industry where "everybody is above average". What we think of today as work for junior/mid level engineers will be completely done by AI agents (multiple), all under the direction of a few experienced engineers.

How do we train up the next generation of software engineers if nobody is hiring newbies? This is going to be the fundamental question for the industry over the next decade. The answer, I'm afraid, is going to look something like Musk's Twitter - 80% drop in head count, only the highly motivated remain.
this is cool, especially for folks running multiple small apps. the pricing model reminds me of old-school VPS days but with modern PaaS conveniences.
A week ago my card stopped working suddenly. When I opened the bank app to check the balance I found that my card is not listed there - as if I've never had it (the linked account was intact though). It was a holiday so customer support responded with "if you don't want to block your card - come tomorrow at 9AM". Only after a few hours a warning appeared in the app that the bank currently has issues with some cards.
Personally, "luxury" is stuff I don't need, don't want all that badly, and for which I can trivially imagine better uses for the money.

OTOH, I'm an old geezer with a modest lifestyle.

Note: This is online expansion. Expansion was always possible but you did need to take the array down to do it. You could also move to bigger drives but you also had to do that one at a time (and only gain the new capacity once all drives were upgraded of course)

As far as I know shrinking a pool is still not possible though. So if you have a pool with 5 drives and add a 6th, you can't go back to 5 drives even if there is very little data in it.
Been pretty happy with Firefox after changing some default settings, but I still have what I assume is a bug where add-ons keep getting disabled every time I start up the browser. Only solution I've seen so far is deleting all add-on files on my computer, but nuking all settings is a bit extreme with all the time that went into the configuration in the first place.
Indeed, although most of the real work on the hardware side is done by TSMC on the processors, and Apple just does a good job wrapping that piece of silicon into a shiny glass and metal body.

Previously we believed that ocean, wetlands, soil, and geological activity absorb about 75% of the CO2. Plants account for around 25% of the carbon absorption.

The research doesn't indicate that more carbon in total is absorbed than we thought - we've got a pretty solid understanding of the total carbon absorption capacity, because we measure it directly, rather than model it. It indicates that a larger proportion of the carbon absorption comes from plants than we thought (around 33%, instead of 25%), with the other sources taking on proportionally less of the absorption.

This research will allow us to more accurately model how land use impacts CO2 though, and will likely put a higher premium on protecting plant life in any carbon assessments.
You're not wrong, but I believe we're still in the tightening phase. During the "Great Resignation," workers had lots of power because of labor shortages. Employers responded by firing and rehiring (Meta) to reset wages, offshoring, H1Bs, etc. It's also why, I believe, that employers are dragging out hiring as long as possible. They want to "redline" the org and see how far they can push to cram down labor costs and wages (throwing job reqs out over and over with lower and lower comp to trawl for the desperate) while also striving for as much profitability as possible in a high cost of capital environment (see Fed benchmark rate and cuts going to be pushed out much longer due to strength of economy). Employee bargaining power will be challenging for the next few years with the new admin being anti-worker (with regards to organizing and labor rights enforcement), but at the same time, we must consider structural demographics and the fact that ~11,200 Boomers retire per day (~4M/year).

Because of the slow burn of this, the labor market is in a bit of a Mexican Standoff. How this resolves or concludes, I cannot predict. Services labor would tighten if immigration of all sorts was constrained, labor that requires firm authorization checks would tighten faster if some combination of Boomers leaving the labor force faster or workers 55+ aging out faster occured.

I was googling exactly this just two days ago. Great timing.
I am a Swedish citizen living in Sweden. I pay as much as I can in cash.

What the article didn't mention is the payments system Swish requires an Android or Apple phone, and the electronic ID mentioned requires one of those phone OSes or a Microsoft or Apple desktop OS.

There is no solution for those who don't want sign a contract with a US IT giant, or those who want better privacy, or those who only want to use free software. Remember too that every single one of those US companies is required to follow US surveillance laws.

Bank cards are an option (though several places are SWIFT-only), but they depend on having a bank account, and the banks depend on SWIFT, which the US controls.

Last year the US designated two white-supremacist Swedes as international terrorists, as well as their organization, which meant they all lost bank access, and therefore digital id. See https://www.etc.se/inrikes/efter-terrorklassningen-svenska-b... (requires subscription), translation here:

> One of the leaders classified as a terrorist, a 50-year-old man, name not given, says to [the local radio service] that his bank account and card have stopped working. He says he left [the white-supremacist organization] 1 and 1/2 years ago.

> "It's completely crazy [...] I haven't done any crime."

It doesn't matter if you agree with the classification or not. What's wrong is that Sweden has decided to use a system of electronic payments and identification which is so completely dependent on the US that a foreign country can have such intimate control over a Swedish citizen living in Sweden.

It doesn't even need to be terrorism. Google or Apple can decide to close your account at any time, without appeal. The Swedish courts cannot order them to re-enable it.

We know this from articles like "A Dad Took Photos of His Naked Toddler for the Doctor. Google Flagged Him as a Criminal" and closed his account, at https://www.nytimes.com/2022/08/21/technology/google-surveil... and "HC notice to Google India after engineer loses access Gmail, Google
Drive, and more over childhood photo labelled 'porn'"
https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/technology/tech-news/hc-...

Think about those two cases as the EU mulls over so-called "Chat Control", with strong support by the Swedish government.

Flip it over - the dependency on three large US companies makes it almost impossible to boycott those companies, no matter how bad they are or might be. And they are bad.

The lack of cash payment also limits what my kids can do on their own - much more than when I was a kid. Want to play mini-golf? Need a bank card or Swish. Want to go swimming? Need a bank card or Swish. At least the ice cream place accepts cash, but they don't provide change so you better have the exact amount.

Yes, kids can get a bank card, but while I'm fine giving my 8-year-old 100 kronor / $10 for a day out on his own, he still loses his library card, forgets his gloves, etc - I don't think he's yet able to keep track of a bank card, much less a smartphone from a company I don't trust.

And unlike a can with money, you can't look at a card to figure out how much is available.
Those corporations with MBAs will find another way-- you're only hurting the independents and destroying the open web with your hipster nonsense
My guess is that customers wanted cheaper food and drinks?

It is well documented that operating cafes and restaurants is among the lowest probability avenues for becoming rich, and highest probability avenues for the business failing.

This is most likely a consequence of demographics and excessive rent seeking. Labor prices go up, and people are only able or willing to pay so much for food service before deciding it is better to do it themselves.

ZFS also had expansion for a long time but it was offline expansion. I don't know if btrfs has also had online for a long time?

And shrinking no, that is a big missing feature in ZFS IMO. Understandable considering its heritage (large scale datacenters) but nevertheless an issue for home use.

But raidz is rock-solid. Btrfs' raid is not.
I've been using the latest v13.2.2 and it regularly goes 100% on its own door to door over 1-2 hour trips that I've driven, navigating side roads, highways, lane changes, road blocks, everything, without a single intervention from me. I just sit and watch, it's incredible actually. Again, this is NOT just highway experience, but door to door. I've driven the earlier versions and they were pretty good, but this latest one (v13.2.2) is a huge improvement that makes me feel it's arrived.

Ask HN: What have you built with the o1 API?
I am curious what people have built with the latest (October 2024 or later) wave SOTA models like the reasoning-based o1. Especially because the reasoning-based models like o1 are more expensive but they must have almost certainly opened up some new use cases.

Although it would also be interesting what new use cases have been opened up by the October 2024 update to Claude 3.5 Sonnet. This "newsonnet3.5" is the only "conventional" model that seems to be able to keep up with the reasoning-based o1 on some tasks although I remember skimming something on X/bluesky that newsonnet3.5 uses some lightweight reasoning internally.

Stop equivocating. You said that ‘you’ (as in the lower income half) paid more. This is demonstrably false. The top half of Americans pay 97.7% of taxes.

It may be you paid a higher percentage of your income despite the progressive nature of the American tax code which has a higher rate the more you make, via some tax breaks some wealthy people take advantage etc... It can also be that you paid a smaller percentage through an EITC. I don’t know without know your situation. It is definitely false that Americans making between $200-400K paid a smaller rate than you did.

Your broad statement the poor are paying the bulk of support for public infrastructure is clearly wrong. Revise your priors.
Huge plus one to this. We undervalue when to bet on data and when to be comfortable with gut.
Years ago, when it was the dominant player, Ad-Block Plus sought to strike a truce with advertisers, where they would dial back the invasiveness of ads, and ABP would sign off on these and whitelist them.

This quickly led to a revolt from ABP users, and the ultimate collapse of the plugin. That is when uBlock was born and become the king.

What we have is a positive feedback cycle where creators are forced to resort to worse and worse ads to cover the cost of the ever increasing number of ad-block users. It's just plainly true that every revenue generating ad you block (not necessarily profit generating ad) is an ad that must be fed to someone else to view for you.

Can't they also just... Live with fewer people? Living standards increased after the Plague wiped out a huge chunk of the population. The only people who DON'T benefit are "asset owners" whose status and asset values (land prices) would decrease. Everyone else would enjoy cheaper housing, full employment and boosted social status to "workers".
This is a dramatic take. What's worse about Google photos today vs 5 years ago? Android seems a lot better off today than 5 years ago. I know there have been some bad things as well, but overall there have been more positives.

Quits rate (ie. the opposite of "trapped and has nowhere to go") saw a spike in 2022-2023, but that associated with lower job satisfaction rating compared to 2020. There was also a huge dip in the quits rate after 2008, but engagement barely moved.

>Ethnic and racial slurs are harmful.

Agreed.

>Adding social stigma to specific words just causes the people who would use them to use different terms if they care about the stigma, and the change does very little to contribute to equal rights.

So your hypothesis here is that people just switch slurs. But is that really true? It's not easy to get a new word into the general vocabulary. Sure, a small group of people could agree to a substitute for the n-word. But when they used it in public, most people wouldn't have any idea what they were talking about. Which means the slur wouldn't have the same impact as if they'd used the slur everyone knows.

I didn't reframe, but I did draw a logical conclusion that may seem opaque if you haven't thought it through. You acknowledge that ethnic slurs are harmful, but you don't see the link between equal rights and how people are referred to by those in power. Do you see the contradiction there? You're imagining a world where leaders can use the n-word without reproach, yet people of color are treated equally by society. That just isn't plausible.
