Sometimes it's the job board itself creating the fake ads to boost their own numbers. Indeed is pretty notorious for doing this.
Their business model for a long time has theorized that they can deliver an operating cost that would allow airlines to offer tickets at roughly current business class ticket costs, which would be a fraction of Concorde ticket prices expressed in current dollars.

I don't know if those theorized efficiencies will be delivered (a lot depends on that engine) or if airlines will price tickets at that level. But it's the theory so far.

Google and Microsoft probably already have the keys to 90%+ of all email comms. They probably already use them to train AI.

It is well known that the Enron emails were used to train early AIs

Jabber/XMMP? I know it doesn't fulfill the same purpose, but since TA is comparing it with instant messaging services I guess it's still relevant.
You're not following the advice of hn and reading my post in the most charitable light. I specifically used "culture" in my reply, and added "or race" to illustrate my point. You chose to view this as a strawman. It is not. Please feel free to ignore the "race" part of my statement.

So for the benefit of doubt, the world has over many decades tried to fight against the sentiment that some cultures are superior because (and pay attention here) this line of thought (whether it is right or wrong), has led to horrific outcomes in the past, and still does.
Hey, I follow you on Insta, it's a surprise to see you here.

I guess HN "rules" are not written in stone and it wouldn't hurt if they make an exception for your case. You've been polite and have a very valid reason behing such petition.

Hopefully @dang/HN would yield on this one.
I agree and there's nothing that disincentivizes companies from "over-soliciting applications". Having 100000 applicants vs 100 has no downside other than:
1) you need to literally post your application URL more places.
2) you might not get through skimming or auto-screening / OCR-ing all the resumes/apps.

From an incentives POV, the job application space does not properly incentivize saving the mental energy and time of either recruiters or applicants.

Automation and reduced friction has made the situation a kind of arm's race and mess.
It's a "you-to-anybody" messaging system. Which is kind of cool.

Also, the more prolific the email address, the more popular the person, essentially.

The biggest job of the front entrance gate at a mini-storage business is to keep random people from loitering in the area, so the cameras(/hypothetical people watching the feeds) have an easier time witnessing a break-in.
Almost all the postings are fake and used for data collection.

Why would they spend their seed or series A cash on people who they have never worked with or they do not know?

For them it is easier for them to hire with in their own network in YC rather than gamble on candidates that they have never worked with before.

RFP: Replace with $baz
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rashida_Tlaib would like a word.

She would not be a politician (or even alive) if any of what you claim is true. You claimed that the US government censors people who speak out against Israel's occupation of Palestine, and specifically that saying Palestine isn't Israel would not be possible in the United States in the same way that saying, for example, Xi Jinping looks like Winnie the pooh is censored in China.

This is, of course, completely false, and demonstrably so by observing the protests I just linked (of which there are thousands, not a few), and the statements Rep. Tlaib, a Palestinian American and member of the US government, regularly says on the national stage.

The equivocation of Chinese censorship and Western censorship simply doesn't work.
Every single change is for the worse. It's kind of insane how they managed to do that, actually.
Agreed. The reduction in boilerplate to route error conditions is what we really need, if we are going to add any special error concept. errors.Is/errors.As and the accompanying switch/if statements can quickly consume entire screens of code for all but the most simplest of failure cases and as a result it often sees developers become lazy and just return err instead.
Creating lock-in which prevents customers from having an alternative is a more effective use of money, because it "solves" not just the threat of reputation loss due to security failures, but many others at the same time.

In my career I've split time between startups, fintech, and consulting. Last year I've had a few interviews with VC funded startups that went to second and third rounds, where I would be told outright that developers who worked at larger companies weren't as "Velocity Focused" as what they were looking for.

I think there's some active memes in the startup community about not hiring people from finance specifically.

1+1=2 has a correct interpretation in any base 3 and higher.

How we know that it wasn't to be calculated in binary is that the digit 2 occurs.

We have to have a reason to suspect that it was intended to be binary, otherwise we are inventing an inconsistency that isn't there in order to find a false or not-well-formed interpretation.
> The end goal is also to be much more efficient than Concorde

I would think that is not very hard to accomplish. Their first flight is almost half a century after Concorde’s. Technology has progressed.

As an (imperfect) comparison, in subsonic flight (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fuel_economy_in_aircraft#Past):

“Jet airliners became 70% more fuel efficient between 1967 and 2007, 40% due to improvements in engine efficiency and 30% from airframes. Efficiency gains were larger early in the jet age than later, with a 55-67% gain from 1960 to 1980 and a 20-26% gain from 1980 to 2000. Average fuel burn of new aircraft fell 45% from 1968 to 2014, a compounded annual reduction 1.3% with variable reduction rate.”

Supersonic is different, but there was half a century of development in military supersonic flight, so a new design need not start where Concorde stopped.
Modern React is a "full-stack" framework - with the current recommended implementation being NextJS.

If you build on NextJS you will get the entire tailwinds of the industry behind you. Having Cursor write a full-stack app that leverages server components alongside client components is a 10x velocity unlock that you won't get if you bifurcate your codebase (as is the rails model)

Typescript is going to be the language of AI engineering, (with Python being the language of ML engineering).

Rails is a fundamentally unserious framework:

1. It lacks LSP (any modern language should support this, think "clicking" a function call to go to it's definition)

2. it lacks type-safety (do you really want to write unit tests to enforce contracts and expectations in your code? or just use the type system?)

3. Object-Oriented-Programming is a failed paradigm for modern web development

4. elite engineers will not want to work for you
The BFF pattern is just "mostly microservices dedicated to a particular client type".

It makes sense when you have drastically different needs between a desktop client and a mobile client (or maybe for a kiosk client or POS interface)

Hosting a microservice is cheap, it avoids unnecessary workload on backend data stores, and teams can operate with more autonomy if they don't have to cooperatively update APIs in coordination with other groups with differing priorities.

This article really just reads like "I figured out how to do authentication with keycloak using OIDC"

I think a lot of those offered would understand how people on TikTok would turn on them for selling out. They're not stupid, quite the opposite.

> When was the last time you used carbon paper to make a copy? Have you ever dictated to your secretary who a memorandum should be blind-copied to?

When was the last time you filed a document in a physical folder? Or used a physical clipboard? Have you ever found a physical bug in your computer?

These are all concepts that were once common in the real world, adopted to make computing more familiar and approachable. Whether the physical concepts are still in use is irrelevant. What matters is if the technology is useful, and email most certainly is. Claiming it should banned because some people misuse it is asinine. If anything should be banned because of misuse then it's surely social media, which is actually harmful to society.
Where's the option? I don't see it.
Right, but that was before they knew about this exploit. My point was that even if they decided they needed to urgently switch to a multiprocesses architecture because it's the only way to mitigate this exploit, they might not be done yet.
If anything like that had actually happened in the past, you might have a point. When it comes to what happens when the value of human labor drops to zero, my guess is every bit as good as yours.

I say it will be a Good Thing. "Work" is what you call whatever you're doing when you'd rather be doing something else.
I love the original DeepSeek model, but the distilled versions are too dumb usually.

Apart from being dumber, they also don't know as much as R1. I can see how fine-tuning can improve reasoning capability (by showing examples of good CoT) but there's no reason that would improve the knowledge of facts (relative to the Qwen or Llama model on which the finetuning was based).

Disabling SMT alone isn’t enough to mitigate CPU vulnerabilities. For full protection against issues like L1TF or MDS, you must both enable the relevant mitigations and disable SMT. Mitigations defend against attacks where an attacker executes on the same core after the victim, while disabling SMT protects against scenarios where the attacker runs concurrently with the victim.

These are two separate categories.

Firstly, there are the monthly "Who is hiring" posts. There, basically anyone can post their company and their positions. They don't need to be YC companies.

And secondly, there are the promoted "Company ABC hiring a Software Engineer (YC '23)" (or similar). There, commenting is not allowed, and the listing will stay on HN for a set amount of time.

I believe the question in this post talks about the latter.

But it's certainly interesting to see in this thread, that basically both of these groups of companies don't reach out to candidates...
> This is a double negative.

Not necessarily--one can be unsurprised at both the decision to take or not to take money, the two aren't mutually exclusive. I'm not surprised if it's not cloudy outside on a given day, but that doesn't mean I am surprised if it is. I'm just not surprised by general day-to-day changes in weather.

The default surprising behavior here is to refuse $300k just to post on a different social media site; given the context of /r/TikTok, the parent comment not surprised that they don't take the money.

You couldn't avoid interacting with the rest of the tech stack that provided access to Myspace. You can use TikTok, even have a career on it, and never know a single thing about the web, internet, tech, etc. This is increasingly the normal experience. There's no built in way to learn there's other possibilities unless they happen upon a video about it.
Wait, though. It's not that there are too many voters. It's that the system of voting we use doesn't connect the vox populi to the means of social control.

If you're given the choice between two bad options, you aren't really given the choice. There's massive cross-aisle support for a lot of things (proper healthcare, more support for working families, lower inflation, holding the banks to some kind of standard, reducing corruption, etc.) that we could actually move the needle on if our votes mattered, but because the two parties have us between a rock (whoever we identify as our party) and a hard place (whoever the other guys are) it doesn't really matter who we vote for.

Now, I'm willing to concede that what you're talking about might be a thing, but there's really no way to know until we actually fix what we have and see if that becomes a problem. We've never really tried what we're supposed to have in the modern era.

Frankly, I'd like to see some format of direct democracy rather than representative. Always seemed a little like an obvious grift to me.

@burgerrito posted a link to a similar submission three months ago where one commenter said for one job they got over 1000 applications.

It’s almost impossible to stand out and rise above the noise these days if you are just randomly submitting your application to a job board.

When I mentioned this before, someone asked me should they reach out to the company directly. That doesn’t help either unless you have a special set of skills or experience that would make you stand out.

Neither “I am a full stack developer” or “I worked for a FAANG” set you apart.
Translating baby sounds using Google AI [video]
Would strongly recommend checking out Baudrillard's ideas.

I am the complete opposite of a relativist when it comes to the territory, but clearly the maps we make of that territory are influenced by social and cultural history. So they are worth questioning or "deconstructing".

The main way the right is unmoored from reality is in saying that the maps that have traditionally existed are the territory, or at least are indistinguishable from it. That is plainly incorrect, for the simple reason that a faithful model of reality must be as complicated as reality itself. And if you insist that your simplistic view is the right one, the inevitable result is that you'll violently reshape the territory to fit the map (which is what the current regime has been doing).
I know my case is unusual but I've had terrible experiences with containers.

Back when I had 2 Mbps DSL I frequently downloaded multi-GB files, I just used download managers and waited.

I could never get anything to work with Docker back then because Docker Hub was unreliable, so consistently reliable that it probably had some timeout that made it impossible to use with a slow connection. I guess reliability is a "call sales" kind of feature for Docker.

I have 10x the speed now, but when I wanted to try the Danbooru image board software locally I was told to use "docker compose" which didn't work because I had the wrong version of compose. Maybe I could switch back to an old version of compose, but would that break some other container thing running on my server that I don't know about? Maybe I could update the compose file to a new version but really it seemed better to hack my RSS reader into an image sorter than go down that rabbit hole.

At one place I worked management thought Docker was an answer to the Python morass but all I saw it do was speed up the ability of the data sci's to find unimaginably broken Python distributions. Docker lets you run 20 microservices that depend on 20 different versions of their environment but in the end now you have to deal with 20 different versions of the environment. Docker alone is chaos, docker + discipline is OK, but the discipline without Docker is also OK. It's the discipline that matters.
No, the workaround is, instead of telling windows to "draw my background as this solid color", you tell it "draw my background as this image (which happens to be a solid color)", ie Windows can paint any image to your background without delay.

From the other workaround, ie edit this registry entry, the delay is directly related to some portion of the Windows session system timing out and switching to a different session.

You replace it with literally any chat application made in the last 30 years. Hell even Microsoft Lync didn't have this problem.

You don't even have to replace the email system behind the curtain, just make it work like group chats. People seem to get "start a group chat" vs "send a message to each person individually."

Why we even still bother with the letters and mailboxes metaphor is beyond me. It implies a level of ceremony that just isn't needed anymore. Just send the file, what does "attaching" mean in the digital age?

My previous startup wiped my net worth, and I still wouldn’t be comfortable paying myself more than 50k/year at any age as a pre-series A founder.
This is likely what's going on. Public pools are often the very last stop on the search for candidates. The precedence is almost always

1) internal hires (obviously not as possible at a start-up)

2) referrals

3) direct engagement from a recruiter

4) talent pools curated by online services like LinkedIn or Indeed

5) forum pools, like those here in HN

6) applications from the Careers page

Almost all my jobs have come from referrals or directly from recruiters. I've gotten calls back from four-and-beyond, but have never made it through the process, despite being overqualified in those cases. On the flipside, I've been underqualified for jobs I got via referral. The power of having someone inside can't be overstated.

I'd be a hypocrite if I didn't admit I use AI daily in my job, and it's indeed a multiplier of my productivity. The tech is really cool and getting better.

I also understand AI is one step closer for the everyday Jane or Joe Doe to do cool and useful stuff which was out of reach before.

After building enterprise APIs for a few years, you’d be amazed at how hard it is to get companies to make even minor changes; backwards compatibility is key. Often it’s because they _can’t_ make the change themselves since they outsourced the code to a consulting agency. So they’d have to sign a new contract and get an agency to make the change.

They just won’t, and you’ll have a browser that people stop using.
Or it could be a radar that resonate with common GSM filter circuitries or Nokia BL-4C or something like that. Quoted problem definition is "find cellphones even when they were turned off", not "locate" or "track" "a phone" or "user turns off".

It's also supposedly something US JSOC is involved with, which is more like IRL Call of Duty group of people than black suited 007 or drone trailer people, so my intuition is that the system is more likely to look like a hearbeat sensor attachment than a cloud based offering.

I’ve never understood the idea that humans should be doing space exploration. Especially given the proof that robots and machines are demonstrably better and more suitable for these kind of tasks by such a degree that they dominate off-planet sensors-effector combinations.

Making space exploration comfortable for humans instead of creating TARS like intelligent machines (possible in our lifetimes imo) foundationally limits and constrains the ability and scale of exploration.

Seems entirely egoistic and anthropocentric. Is there any alternative reason - other than stated - as to why humans should be considered the best candidates for these tasks?
