Because a lot of people don't understand how the products work or what they need. Trying to understand a complex product, with multiple options that come with advantages and disadvantages, and having adding on top that it's a very consequential decision is much easier if any misunderstanding can be corrected and explained real-time. The alternative is to do it async with some lead time for every back and forth.

The big banks are larger then ever because of consolidation and inflation but I do think they're getting disrupted.

I think services like Fidelity are meaningfully disrupting banks. I much rather have my money in a money market fund then a deposit checking account. Most loans are not being held on bank balance sheets any more either, but are getting sold to the market, so they're no longer as critical a part of the financing stack.

And we're still early days on stable tokens and the defi infrastructure around them.
I was laid off recently. I poured my heart and soul into that role and went far above and beyond in countless ways - even working on a critical business proposal while on vacation with my family. In the end no one cares about your efforts, what you accomplished, your certifications, what kind of SME you are, or what potential you have. If you fit the criteria for a layoff, you will be gone without a second thought. After I was informed, my company reached out to me with a “mobility program” where they supposedly helped me to find a position internally. I talked with several people including a VP who promised to find me something only to be ghosted after my official end date. It’s a very cutthroat industry and there is no such thing as loyalty any more. I know I sound bitter. That’s just the way it is. Save as much money as you can, live frugally, keep your resume updated, and always be prepared to jump ship. Don’t stay in a role too long and try to move on voluntarily at the first hint of trouble.

The cards that pay 2%+ are the premium cards that charge merchants 4%+. If you're competing against that rate, you could give a 4% cash back.

In my experience, whenever a company assures you there will be no more layoffs, there will 100% be more layoffs. Never make the mistake of believing your employer has any real loyalty to you.

I know some folks that very much take the cynical approach to work. They work very hard to eek out every penny they can from each employer and switch jobs a moments notice for more money.

I feel like this has a strange re-enforcing cycle that they find employers who are just like they are (looking to eek out every hour from their employees) and so they get more cynical.

Aelita.ai – Making APIs accessible for AI agents while handling auth
I am building Aelita to solve two problems I encountered while building AI agents:

a) The need for a standardized way for AI to understand and interact with APIs
b) The complexity of managing user authentication and tool connections (Slack, Gmail, etc.)

Instead of each developer implementing OAuth flows and maintaining API descriptions, Aelita provides:

- A semantic registry of APIs that AI agents can understand
- Built-in user authentication and tool connection management
- A simple SDK for developers

Would love to get the community's feedback on:

The approach to making APIs "AI-readable"

>It sounds like your employer could save a lot of costs by hiring remote workers in the countries you mentioned.

Payroll is one of the smaller slices of the expense pie when it comes to space.

It would be extremely challenging to find engineers with the experience needed for mission assurance in the numbers needed to maintain our output.

The output, in terms of serial-numbered subassemblies, of my organization (a small team in a small division of a single American company I am almost certain most of you have never even heard of) exceeded the total production of every single EU space firm combined.

It's like how semiconductor production lines in the US have to import experts from Taiwan to get them running and it takes years and years and billions in government subsidies: experience matters.
This. Without going into specifics, I attempted to internally transfer to another team for higher level/better pay position. My current boss said he doesn't have a problem with it. I pre-cleared everything with the possible new boss, but I got mysteriously blocked. Few months later, team member from the other team indicated that they were told not to let it happen ( and who said no ).

Needless to say, I am miffed. The market is what it is right now, but not only am I not 'allowed' to move around, but stuck with the same pay/benefits, because my raise was.. lets say not great.

There is not enough .. not hate.. not enough awareness of how corps fuck you over and HN can help with that a little.
What I've learned is that, for employees, job security is never real. There is only silent risk. You might get lucky and go through an entire career never losing Russian roulette...but you're just lucky.

But I've also learned that there is no security of any kind in life. People who've lived nothing but peaceful lives will never understand, and they'll even lecture you about "making your own luck," when they should be thanking God for their good fortune.
No. But I do know statistics. The largest employees in tech are the public companies that we have all heard of. The next largest segment are VC funded companies with the smallest segment by far being the “lifestyle companies”.

Do an exercise, go to any job board and put in filters to match the types of jobs you are qualified for. How many of those do you think are going to be profitable, private, lifestyle companies?
I'm saying you probably don't find them compelling because from your point of view, the problems don't look important to you. They don't from my point of view either. But my point of view is the wrong point of view. From their point of view this would be plenty to make me think twice and several times over past that from changing something so deeply fundamental to the system for what is a benefit that nobody who is actually paying the price for the package size seems to be particularly enthusiastic about. If the people paying the bandwidth bill aren't even that excited about a 5% reduction, then the cost/benefits analysis tips over into essentially "zero benefit, non-zero cost", and that's not very compelling.
That's an interesting question. One follow-up question I would have is whether impedance matching is a relevant concept here, given that the model has no inductance (I'm guessing that's because the flow of charge is in the form of ions moving radially through the membrane. If neurons were more like transmission lines, would we be susceptible to interference from distant lightning?)

I also skimmed the page and saw that equation 20 is not a wave equation (as the article says, it is a diffusion equation.) Again, I am not sufficiently knowledgeable to say whether that renders the question of impedance matching moot.

Update: I see from the sibling thread and its excellent reference that the refractory period, where the sodium and potassium ions are being pumped back to their starting positions, suppresses reflection.

Don't over index on this. It's a small factor among many.
You can couch the tickets as major work as well. Learning how to describe your work to people well is advantageous, it’s just not a panacea to avoid layoff (or get hired).
> they accuse Russia, and they claim that somehow the evil Russians influenced the Chinese captain, or one of the crew, to drag their anchor on the seabed. But only after they departed a Russian port... even though these nations' evidence is supposedly encrypted transmissions between the ship and Russia, which could also have been sent before docking in Russia... or even sent to any ship in the area, including ones not docking in Russia

Dropping the anchor could have been done by any one of the crew, bribed by Russia after meeting with Russian intelligence officers at a Russian port. A randon crew member probably wouldn't know exactly when to drop the anchor though, so receiving a message shortly before it was time would make sense.

They have their own nn,etc libraries so adapting should be fairly focused and AMD drivers have a hilariously bad reputation historically among people who program GPU's (I've been bitten a couple of times myself by weirdness).

I think you should consider it as, if they're trying to avoid Nvidia and make sure their code isn't tied to NVidia-isms, and AMD is troublesome enough for basics the step to customized solutions is small enough to be worthwhile for something even cheaper than AMD.

Cool stuff, I like how clean the app looks. Since it's on Electron, is there any chance it can run as a web app? I think there would be a lot of excitement for a web-based video editor that's actually decent to use, even if it doesn't have the greatest performance.
Great article. I still feel like very few people are viewing the Deepseek effects in the right light. If we are 10x more efficient it's not that we use 1/10th the resources we did before, we expand to have 10x the usage we did before. All technology products have moved this direction. Where there is capacity, we will use it. This argument would not work if we were close to AGI or something and didn't need more, but I don't think we're actually close to that at all.
Can context be split on multiple GPUs?
$40k is a tiny salary, too. Taxes, facilities, and benefits are going to be more than 2x that. A contractor paid $200k/year is likely cheaper in total cost than an employee paid $100k/year.
I was 15 years in at one company and got an out of the blue mass firing notice over zoom one day. A significant number of developers with over 10 years at the company were let go. It was devastating to think back over the times I decided to work late versus spend those hours with my kids and wife, the times I was at home but decided to "check in" on things at work, and the fact that I had fused my work identity into my personal identity.

I landed a gig at another well known national newspaper and hated every second of that dysfunctional team. I did fully separate my personal life and my work life. I basically punched the clock and worked my 40. Every six weeks or so I had to pull an on-call shift, but the monitoring setup was almost nonexistent so it was cake. I spent just over three years there before they had a significant round of mass firings. However, I did not keep up with interviews and previous relationships made with recruiters during my last round of looking for a gig.

I came pretty close to flat broke in the four months it took to land another job as I had one kid moving to college and another out of school living at home. I'm still at this current gig, and I honestly couldn't care less about it. We are doing so cool stuff, but every Monday I clock in with the expectation of having a mass firing email when I log in. I have kept in contact with all recruiters that were helpful in this last round and I keep applying and interviewing for jobs. I am a terrible interview, but I'm amazed at how well I do when I am interviewing while having a current job. I'm also applying for a wider-range of jobs that I don't quite have the skill sets for and those interviews go well too.

If you are just starting out and think you landed the job you will retire from, I wish you well and hope that works out for you, seriously. It would also be a wise move to prepare for the unexpected by making relationships with recruiters and HR employees at other companies. Don't ever think you are not replaceable. After the first mass firing, our positions were posted to be filled only from Mexico. The second mass firing was to be filled by Brazil.

You owe no allegiance to the company you work for. Do they randomly gift you with extra weekly paychecks for 10 hours of work you did not do? Why gift them with 10 hours of work they don't pay you for?

[ citation needed ]

Every job I've worked at has specified when we provide references, we're to say "X was employed from Y to Z" and if we would hire them again, yes or no. The employee described here would get a yes from me. The fact that they didn't go "above and beyond" will not help them get a job, at least if they happened to work for any of the companies I have.

> If people know you are a standout contributor then you will be hired quickly into desirable roles.

I guess we could quibble over definitions then, because I as a senior dev managing other devs am perfectly happy with someone who clocks in, does the work on-time and to-spec, and then clocks off as a "standout contributor." I've chastised a few people in my time for committing code on the weekends too, not because I don't appreciate their contribution, but because I consider it part of my job to prevent burnout, voluntary or otherwise.

Burned out devs turn out worse work, and they feel worse in the bargain. Textbook definition of a lose-lose. Whatever code is being a pain in the ass today is just that; code. It will be there when you get back from the weekend, it will be there when you get back from a doctor's appointment, it will be there when your kid is done being sick. Life matters. Code... does, but to a lesser extent.

> On top of that, carrying around bitterness and cynicism is just bad for you.

Which is why I don't want people feeling bitter about their job, and putting in the extra work to, by your own admission, be just as damn likely to get the axe for reasons that are out of your control? That's embittering as fuuuuuuuck.

> Pride in good work and pleasure in having an impact on customers and coworkers is good for you.

False dichotomy. I love what we build, and I want my subordinates to have fulfilling, happy lives. And I proportion my energy to both of those things in accordance with their importance.

Gridstack is a great tool for building complex grid layouts with drag and drop for specific use-cases.

Puck is for creating a complete page building experience, which includes not only drag and drop, but also user input via fields, viewport previewing, APIs for fetching data, etc.

To give more context:

Andy, or someone else, posted what can be read as an endorsement[1].

> Until corporate Dems are thrown out, the reality is that Republicans remain more likely to tackle Big Tech abuses.

Putting aside that this was a divisive statement, the problem emerged when this was posted by the official company account.

For the duration of time that this was the official response, it's not unreasonable for the public to assume that Andy, or someone else, endorsed a political party using the official company account.

This is the core of what caused the incident to escalate.

It was later retracted, and followed up with a statement[2] on the incident.

It's important to take pride in one's work, but don't forget one second that the relationship is asymmetric; if you choose to be loyal, the company employing you won't be loyal back.

The worst thing you can do is to feel personally and emotionally vested in the relationship, and then be disappointed that "despite" you going full in and giving everything, going above and beyond the expectations, it still affects you.

As the OP correctly states, the decisions are made by others, and they may not know you. But while some people involved may know and value you (e.g. your direct line manager), they will not stand up and fight for you in 99% of cases, because they don't have much power, and they would like to keep their own job.
I Got Tired of My Own Inability to Focus on One Thing
I've been trying to avoid them and it's though. I use glass water bottles, ideally would prefer something like reverse osmosis but not so practical. Remove as much plastic as possible in your daily life: clothes, food containers, bed sheets, etc. Don't eat food that came to contact with plastics and certainly don't eat up food in plastic containers.

Vacuum regularly, use a HEPA filtering system to reduce harmful particles in the air, not much you can do when you're outside, living far from roads could help (a significant amount of microplastics comes from car tires, apparently).

> Others have told me the fastest way to get a senior title is a failing organisation, where senior people keep leaving.

I actually thought about doing this early in my career and know folks who intentionally did this to cut a few years off their path to being able to (ethically, without lying) put "Senior" on their resume.

It works, and surprisingly well, however if you are considering this I would also suggest you do it in a market/business area that you don't particularly care about. I've been in more than one interview where a senior executive who was very tied in on the business side (knew all the big players, had the cell phone numbers for all the major company's CEOs, etc) immediately saw this on someone's resume and raised it as a red flag.

The odds of that happening are honestly pretty slim, but it's something to consider.
