Don't you think part of the reason companies prefer that you reach out to them is that they want people specifically interested in them? Though it could be the case that the job spam is so fucked that that no longer works as an accurate cutoff.
If you are specifically running it for coding, I'm satisfied with using it via continue.dev in VS Code. You can download a bunch of models with ollama, configure them into continue, and then there is a drop-down to switch models. I find myself swapping to smaller models for syntax reminders, and larger models for beefier questions.

I only use it for chatting about the code - while this setup also lets the AI edit your code, I don't find the code good enough to risk it. I get more value from reading the thought process, evaluating it, and the cherry picking which bits of its code I really want.

In any case, if that sounds like the experience you want and you already run ollama, you would just need to install the continue.dev VS Code extension, and then go to its settings to configure which models you want in the drop-down.

Yeah, that's the point. Frankly, why do you care so much about rich people (who know full well the risks, and generally come out ahead regardless) losing their investment in one of their many portfolio startups? There are so many mechanisms to ensure that investors are made whole whenever possible.
Shifting to solid queue, backed by your rdbms, is more boring than using redis. Successfully deploying an app without anything but a database server is pretty powerful. Everything just works. I would say that's pretty boring :)

Which is something many americans should've realized before re-electing a chaos monkey with a heart of stone.
Nothing surprising. We are deep into the age of griefter economy - make a cringey video - making a scene - whether it's an argument between people or "owning someone", get people roiled up against each other, start selling merch like shirts or a book full of your "wisdom" and you are set for life. Tiktok is the perfect platform for stuff like that with practically 0 regulation. Meta just wants a piece of that cake, simple as that. 300k may as well be well worth it. The sad part is that ultimately it is us, the users that end up suffering. A decade ago science videos were thriving on YouTube and I loved it. These days we are lucky if we get two videos out of hundreds if not thousands of youtubers that used to push 40 minutes of videos each every month. I don't blame them, I'd also find it utterly demotivating to have a team of people and a month worth of work from dawn till dusk every month just to get a microscopical fraction of what some teen gets for shouting at a minecraft screen for 30 minutes.

Leave the protocol alone and use Delta Chat: https://delta.chat/en/
It's kind of interesting. I assume the "employee" will be mostly AI but managed by an actual person a little bit to ensure it doesn't go too of the rails. Maybe if they commit to upholding the illusion of an actual person well, it's worth paying for. The more I think about it, the more I think it is, these companies are probably willing to operate at a loss for now and a fairly long future while they are building their product and acquiring customers etc, so I would think there are good deals to be had.
> why then do people flock to WhatsApp, Slack, and other non-email products?

One reason is that corporations are extremely good at hijacking attention and stimulating addictive areas of the brain. There are various definitions of "best" here, ranging from "efficient" to "what people will flock to".
Fake news. They are asking people who work on the National Security Council.

This isn't happening government wide.
Sorry you've had that experience. My 2 cents is that unless they've done a "big" (> 5 million) seed or series A they probably don't have the money or appetite for much hiring. So target later stage if you aren't already.
The title here has two occurrences of "LinkedIn" at the beginning, whereas the title of the linked article doesn't.
Or, perhaps they have made a reasoned determination that their own government does not represent their best interests, and are less concerned about the impact a foreign power thousands of miles away has on their lives.
The smaller the company, the less likely the hiring process is a well-oiled machine, from responses to inbounds to true-ing up the JDs currently advertised on the site; compounding that, smaller companies get fewer inbound applicants and can end up holding out for a unicorn fit for a role for a long time. I wouldn't read much into no-response from a startup (totally reasonable to be irritated about it, but it's always a numbers game regardless, so you might not want to be hanging on a response from any one company).
Browser Permissions
Let's take Google Meet as an example. When you try to join a very (cough cough) important (cough cough) work meeting, and the browser pops up a prompt requesting access to your camera and microphone... How do these browser permissions work? How many other permissions are out there?

Some people are going to argue that a millionaire isn't really "rich". It's not that hard to become a millionaire if you make a decent income, sock a lot away, and invest in stocks in the 1930-2024 time frame. [1] You'd be pretty old when you make that milestone though.

> the ultra rich are either leaning towards things like those private suites onboard a large plane, or flying in a private jet

Anyone making $1+ mm / year is not in regular private-jet territory. That leaves commercial, which doesn’t have suites on most routes. (Most domestic routes don’t have lay-flat options.)

In between you have a $5k to $25k window in which something like Boom could operate. Same, dense domestic business seats. But lower service costs because you don’t need to serve a coursed meal on a 2-hour flight.

What is a inverted pyramid concept in terms of writing?

No, but that's not entirely the fault of Nix as it has to rely on an element of good faith with externally managed artifacts.

But it sure is an improvement on pretty much any other package manager, or build pipeline - even if existing solutions were to use a frozen repository as the source of truth.

Packages in the nixpkgs repository also have metadata that includes whether there are any security vulnerabilities to consider.

It's intentionally misleading, they are technically saying they will meet the takeoff and landing requirements (which they are required to meet by law) but implying that the plane is going to be quiet at cruise (which they want to perform over the continental United States, not just over the ocean).

Moreover, their statement falsely suggests that Concorde does not "[meet] the same strict regulatory noise levels as the latest subsonic airplanes" but 36.301 says that Concorde also has to meet the same standards as subsonic planes (standards which exclude operation at cruise which didn't matter for Concorde because it was over the Atlantic).
Sure, but let's still appreciate how awesome it is that this very difficult (for a human) PR is now essentially self-serve.

How much hardware efficiency have we left on the the table all these years because people don't like to think about optimal use of cache lines, array alignment, SIMD, etc. I bet we could double or triple the speeds of all our computers.
That's because software is hard to make, and most projects don't make it far enough to prove themselves useful--despite them having the potential to be useful. If software gets easier, a whole new cohort of projects will start surviving past their larval stage.

> I think candidates should post their resumes in a centralized place instead of applying for each company.

That already exists, and had for some two decades now - it's called LinkedIn.

It works the way it works. Whatever the reasons (which are most certainly related to running a two-sided marketplace and trying to squeeze both ends of it), any such project will end up in a similar spot.
Would be interesting to see it tried on something like eTrade, Robinhood, TradingView, Trade Locker. Reasoning model + RSS news feed + Options Chain? Brrr.
Adding to this: we mostly focus on outbound, mostly using WorkAtAStartup or LinkedIn as a source.

> The card is a physical representation of your account number, readable with a magstripe scanner.

Which is no longer true for EMV cards, though. There, the chip contains some additional data which cannot be easily copied and which helps identify the card as a bona fide real card issued by a bank.

I work for a small YC startup and we have recently wanted to hire another engineer. Our CTO posted a listing on WorkAtAStartup and within two or so days, got over 200 applicants. Apparently, WorkAtAStartup (which I've used successfully in the past) allows you to bulk send applications.

He went through and found that almost all the applications he was able to go through were absolute nonsense.

He then screened some people before a technical interview with the rest of the team and found over half of them either had no clue how to really write any code or were completely lying about any experience they've had.

We then had five interviews set up for the following week. None of them were a fit. We have a pretty straight forward set of real world examples for our programming questions and no one got them. Keep in mind, all the other engineers on the team had gone through these questions without issue in the past, and we're not particularly amazing engineers. The "trickiest" of them is essentially performing an in memory group by given to arrays of data that have relations to each other. These were all full open internet as well.

We decided to pause hiring for the next quarter. I think the main issue was the absolute flood of applicants that had no ability to fill the role, and filtering through that with limited man-hours while features still need to be shipped is really difficult.

Years ago, when I'd be part of engineering hiring efforts, we had a recruiter who would handle screenings, so I don't know if it's always been like this and we need to get better at screening, or if it's notably worse now.

I was advised by a few recruiters to remove all PII from my resume but my email, both for privacy reasons and because it's better to funnel all offers to the same location. I still keep my phone number on there, but if someone really wants my data, it's remarkably easy to find, so I am not really doing much by just removing it from my resume. Oddly, I've had a few people actually try to find more PII on me and fail miserably. They claimed to be good at it, and should have known enough to find at least my legal name with ease. Used to be able to find old AIM conversations of mine if you knew what to search for (or got lucky).
I don't think this is a good take.

It's not just a numbers game. Bill Gates was stupendously smart, driven and competitive. He and Paul Allen also got the idea that the microcomputer industry was going to need systems software before he could get a microcomputer to develop it on, so he developed it with an emulator on a PDP-10. It was "flip switches on the front panel" or "ship with Microsoft BASIC" which let Microsoft claim to be "the first microcomputer software"; they got a few lucky breaks such as getting a contract with IBM for the systems software for the PC which could have easily gone to a competitors like Digital Research.

A lot of businesses view human errors that a system has as something to complain at the users about and put policy around to stop it from happening, this does not work. Equally banning an essential technology doesn't solve the problem because people still need a mechanism for sending messages asynchronously to each other.

The issue is about the user interface of the clients. The problem with email is that no one really makes any money out of it. Its a mature and stagnant technology and it gets little investment. People want to pay as little as possible for something that you can get from Google for "free". But the issues are all to do with the user interface and defending people from relatively rare errors because people misclicked and misunderstood the impact.There are very common features of email that should be nice and quick and there are features rarely used that cause a lot of problems and the happy path should be slowed and made more difficult to do accidentally and without knowledge of the potential impact.

But the issue is the maturity and lack of investment because otherwise these problem features like CC would be handled better and there are numerous ways it could be made safer and errors a lot less likely.
I also think people don't appreciate the sheer volume of online applications that a desirable startup gets.
