> Have you never downscaled and upscaled images in a non-3D-rendering context?

Indeed, and I found that leveraging hardware texture samplers is the best approach even for command-like tools which don’t render anything.

Simple CPU running C++ is just too slow for large images.

Apart from a few easy cases like 2x2 downsampling discussed in the article, SIMD optimized CPU implementations are very complicated for non-integer or non-uniform scaling factors, as they often require dynamic dispatch to run on older computers without AVX2. And despite the SIMD, still couple orders of magnitude slower compared to GPU hardware while only delivering barely observable quality win.
I would like to assume that I am a good candidate I usually get calls back from even LinkedIn posts or even indeed, but after well applying to more than two hundred offerings on the who is hiring posts in this place, and only having had been called twice. I can assure you that the ones here usually are not hiring and at best just want a rooster of possible replacements for their current employees.
Most notable offender is mixrank, I know more than twenty people that have applied to no avail, even people with more than 22 years of experience and very fancy titles.

> where do you keep the ECS service/task specs and how do you mutate them across your stacks?

It can be defined in CloudFormation, then use CloudFormation Git sync, some custom pipeline (ie. github actions) or CodePipeline to deploy it from github

You can also use CodeDeploy to deploy from Git or even a AWS supplied github action for deploying a ECS task.

> How long does it take to stand up/decomm a new instance of your software stack?

It really depends on many factors, ECS isn't very fast (I think it's on purpose to prevent thundering herd problems).

> How do you handle application lifecycle concerns like database backup/restore, migrations/upgrades?

From what I learned from AWS is that ECS is a compute service and you shouldn't persist data in ECS.

Run your database in RDS and use the supplied backup/restore functionality

> How have you supported developer stories like "I want to test a commit against our infrastructure without interfering with other development"?

If it's all defined in CloudFormation you can duplicate the whole infrastructure and test your commit there.

It is mentioned in the site FAQ that they don't delete accounts.

I feel that redacting the account name of someone who regrets some of their posts for privacy reasons, so at least individual comments cannot be linked together into a profile, would be kind.

But yes, this is a very public forum.
No, it can't come from tax in general. The whole problem is a lack of productivity per capita. So any tax high enough to pay the shortfall will be oppressive. It's not a magic money machine that beats private investment earnings.
i understand you and many others might not feel it, but it can have a very severe emotional impact on someone. it's especially undesirable when you're taking a break and browsing something you find joy in, like hackernews.

i've abandoned a lot of websites just to avoid being reminded/thinking about this reality. and yes, i know that my behavior is going to be a growing problem that enables the problems. it sucks. but no one else is gonna protect my mental health. therefore........ i dislike politics on HN.

The cost to post is trivial, especially if you don't fill the position. It's about looking prestigious and maintaining the impression that you're hiring.

Also seems necessary for all the H-1B fraud.
It is a complicated scene right now. Bots are taking over on both ends, both in creating and interpreting resumes. Companies can have ulterior motives for posting job ads in many directions, including just scraping data.

My latest job search made me want to create a startup that addresses this, by vetting both posters and users. The largest hurdle is that adding money to the scenario opens a whole new can of worms for scammers.
They're also vehicles that are often driven hard and tuned, especially the WRX and BRZ.
OpenAI: DeepSeek "found some of the core ideas that we did on our way to o1"
I'm sorry, I thought you introduced the "all-knowing" out of nowhere, but this was indeed mentioned by willsmith72. I'd missed that.

Still, his implied assertion that markets that markets can often behave irrationally, and can't be used as evidence of technical matters, seems pretty valid to me.

But I suppose you could see it as a sign that something is at least temporarily "generally accepted" among investors. That doesn't mean it's generally accepted among AI researchers, though.

Although I thought it was $6M rather than $5M, and that that was only the last step, and not the total investment. What does seem to be generally accepted among investors that this isn't good news for NVidia's profits, but that still doesn't mean that all the specific facts are generally accepted.
The common theme in all of these EOs seems to be concentrating power to the executive branch, and scapegoating wokeness/dei so that people can celebrate/panic over culture warring nonsense. Trump is also floating the idea of booting criminals who are citizens out of the country. I don't want to panic, but we're only a week in, and trajectory of all this is very terrifying to me. I'm not sure what, if anything, I can do on an individual level.
1 Hz is probably a bit too slow for practical applications, but my point is that somewhere between that, and simulating a parallel universe at each data-dependent branch, is probably a reasonably-safe spot, or more likely a spectrum that application developers get to pick their tradeoffs from.
The really experienced of us will have made this mistake enough times to know to avoid it.

I didn’t get a smart phone until the 2010s. Stupid I know but it was seen as a badge of honour in some circles ‘bah I don’t even use a smart phone’ we’d say as the young crowd went about their lives never getting lost without a map and generally having an easier time of it since they didn’t have that mental block.

Ai is going to be similar no doubt. I’m already seeing ‘bah I don’t use ai coding assistants’ type of posts, wearing it as a badge of honour. ‘Ok you’re making things harder for yourself’ should be the reply but we’ll no doubt have people wearing it as a badge of honour for some time yet.
I built a Rust allocator that uses files instead of RAM for memory storage. Because who said memory allocation needs to be fast? Want to make it even more "interesting"? Mount your allocation file over NFS/SSHFS and watch your program's memory requests casually traverse the internet!

Now your RAM can have packet loss and network latency. Distributed systems enthusiasts, your dreams of globally distributed RAM are here (sort of)!
I would not. I've used PHP, Python, Go, JS/TS, and Ruby in production with small to medium teams. Teams that I managed on occasion and recruited, to a certain extent.

RoR is great at first but in my experience quickly becomes full of hard to diagnose bugs, its magic metaprogramming seems too tempting for developers to use and leads to all sorts of problems.

There is a lack of good quality, well maintenained 3rd party libraries. No such problem with Python, Node, even PHP to a certain extent.

It's slow, except compared to Python. Ruby 3 is much better but still behind.

If you need to ship decent code fast, I would reach for Django.

If you're doing AI stuff, any Python framework will be best.

If you need to hire a sizeable team quickly, I would reach for Node or PHP.

If you need high performance and high reliability I would use Go.

On a side note some of the scientists that did/continued the research, see it closer to making the frogs trans.

While Alex Jones may have scared off mainstream news and politicians. The scientists have trudged along just fine, Harvard is probably the easiest since if you come in through their own website you can access to the research (along with having some easier to digest stuff like bios and interviews).

Again, if the police have sufficient evidence to convince a judge that a warrant is justified, it doesn't really matter what the evidence is, only that it is not misrepresented to the judge and that the judge deems it sufficient.

The main problem in this case was the fact that the police misrepresented their evidence to the judge. It is theoretically possible that a judge may have issued a warrant on the basis of the facial recognition tool, in which case the evidence from the search would not necessarily need to be thrown out. If that were the case, I'd expect the defense to appeal the validity of the warrant, in which case all the questions you're asking would come into play.
> The simple fact is that alpha males are a fact of nature. In wolves and in lions

Dude, you are literally responding to someone arguing that alphas are real with an article that completely disproves your thesis.

This isn't even a new revelation. Biologists have long known that the whole "wolf alpha" thing was BS.

But further, we aren't wolves, we aren't lions. Male lions taking over a pride will murder all the cubs, should we? Female Cynomolgus monkeys will have sex with every male in the troupe so as to confuse who that father is of the offspring, should we?

No species of animal is the same and there are no "norms" in the animal kingdom.

Nothing more beta than confidently spouting BS without taking the time to research your own positions.

1 in 5000 seems very off. A quick search has it occurring in 1.7% of all games which sounds about right. [1] If he indeed said 1 in 5000, it might have been from a database with lots of quite low rated games.

There are two reasons I think it's one of (calling it the most was a bit of hyperbole) the most important basic endings.

One is that it's not only relatively frequent but also an endgame that just constantly sees the 'wrong' result.

The second point though is what I already mentioned - it really teaches you a lot about how a bishop and rook can play together. If you can genuinely internalize that ending, your play with these pieces, in all phases of the game, would just naturally improve. Again it's similar to the way that the B+N ending can help improve your play with those pieces.

I mean sure it's useful to know that R and f+h pawns v R is only a [difficult] draw, but that knowledge is not very useful outside of that exact scenario.

Using a local 7B for chatting, I saw it tries very hard to check for inconsistencies of itself, and that may spill to also checking for the user's "inconsistencies".

Maybe it's better to carefully control and explain the talk progression. Selectively removing old prompts (adapting where necessary) - which also reduces the context - results in it not having to "bother" to check for inconsistencies internal to irrelevant parts of the conversation.

Eg. asking it to extract Q&A from a line of text and format it to json, which could be straightforward, sometimes it would wonder about the contents from within the Q&A itself, checking for inconsistencies eg:

- I need to be careful to not output content that's factually incorrect. Wait but I'm not sure about this answer I'm dealing with here..
- Before the questions were about mountains and now it's about rivers, what's up with that?
- etc..

I had to strongly demand it to treat it all as jumbled text/verbatim, and never think about their meaning. So it should be more effective if I always branched from the starting prompt when entering a new Q&A for it to work on. So this is what I meant by "selectively remove old prompts".
That's fair. I'm very used to bad faith users who participate in a lot of political threads but only post "why politics" in threads that make them uncomfortable.

Thanks for your perspective.
I just started using it and my co-workers who have been using the old one say it sucks but I honestly have no opinion. It seems to do the job to me.
Conversely, why wouldn't we expect the rest of the world to abandon American technology? We have members of the current administration in Germany stumping for AfD, and all of the American tech giants are toeing the party line.

For the rest of the world, the risk and dangers of American interference in their elections appears to be more present and explicit than the dangers of Chinese interference.
The laws around deletion of data in CA and the EU seem to me to support the notion of maintaining the content but anonymizing the author. So it would seem to me that what they propose would be in compliance. IANAL

I personally think it is shady as hell to refuse to delete someone's posts (conceptually). However, given the hierarchical nature of comments and the point system, I can see why this might be a technical burden.
Same here. I have a 77 year old father who has had a stroke who is not going to be able to wrap his head around the notion of 2FA. It's a bridge too far. Not going to happen. He's just going to get confused and give up when faced with crap he doesn't understand (that's literally how it works with him). I've seem him break into tears because he couldn't figure out some mobile phone UX. Kind of heartbreaking to watch that happen. That's what strokes do to people. Stuff like this doesn't help people like that.

I'm thinking the built in browser password manager might be a safer, more usable option for him at this point. It's probably what I'll have to recommend when this inevitably blows up in a few months.

2FA is a hurdle for normal users. I've had to support 2FA for our Google workspace account for some of my non technical colleagues. It's a PITA almost 100% of them needed me to unblock their account at some point. Absolutely terrible UX. Most users aren't compatible with this stuff. That's why all the big companies are pushing for passkeys now. I don't think that actually fixes the problem and just moves it instead.

But I get it. Bitwarden wants to appeal to corporate IT managers so they can sell expensive enterprise licenses because IT managers are most of their paying customers. And for that they need to sacrifice UX. Because IT managers like liability even less than service providers (like Bitwarden). They'll make their users jump through hoops one hundred percent of the time if it reduces their exposure to their mistakes. So sacrificing UX for that is a small sacrifice. But it is a sacrifice that buys ass coverage for Bitwarden and IT managers. At the cost of users.

It seems that the CCPA requires companies to delete your data upon request. You could file a complaint to the California attorney general. They may investigate and fine the offending entity.

If you want to take matters into your own hands you can view your comments and selectively delete the ones you want down. Keep in mind that copies of hacker news content will have been scraped and archived elsewhere.
> how much will people pay for civil supersonic?

Do we know how much more it's likely to cost? I could easily see people paying 1.5x - 2x.

Anything beyond 2x I imagine would start to price out the average person and anything beyond 5x would probably price out the vast majority of potential customers.

If just visiting a webpage with some JS will let them do ACE on even 0.1% of visitors, hackers are probably still motivated enough to try it.

You can leave. I encourage Americans to look at alternatives. My country (Belgium) as well as most of Europe will welcome you and many other highly skilled migrants for in-demand jobs such as programming and other tech adjacent jobs.

Cost of life here is lower and life is nice. You get your pick of a country; many are different and give you access to different cultures across the EU.

Of course don’t get me wrong, things are veering far-right here as well, but it’s nothing compared to the US and you’ll be shocked how much nicer life is when you can walk to get groceries instead of having to bring your pickup truck.

In a few years, when things have calmed down (they eventually will), you can go back and help fix whatever mess the US has been left in.

And as usual if you do want to take up the opportunity of moving to Europe and you’re serious about it, feel free to email me (see profile), I will do what I can to guide and advise you.
In the past, I have applied to many YC startups, and have a pretty high response rate. Being that the job board is pretty prominent in the tech world, and engineering jobs are highly competitive, it is likely that a smaller startup does not have the resources to reply to every applicant.

This being said, I've been self employed for several years, so this may have changed since ~ 2021, but I don't think it's likely.

Also, the landscape has changed, and some job posting may have been made during more optimistic moments, and they may just be stale, rather than fake.

I have referred many people to "WorkAtAStartup" in recent years who have had quite a bit of success. While it's unfortunate that you are not having the best of luck, definitely be optimistic and continue to try! There are many great companies that recruit through the YC boards, and I recommend using WorkAtAStartup to have the best chances of response, even more so than their direct job listings.
