None of that is true
If only we could automate that interaction, we'll have completely removed all human intelligence from the loop. What could possibly go wrong?
Out of completely idle curiosity, can you share what some of the LAN/WAN network connections look like for those screens? I've stared at many cables/wires and antennas that have been retrofitted into the ceilings of NYC subway stations, and sometimes it looks like multiple generations of stuff that's been added to incrementally over the past 100 years like a coral reef growing new conduit and cabling.

And then there's the cellular carrier stuff that's been put into many stations, which generally is easy to pick out because it's relatively new/clean and has distinctive antenna types.
Especially for a game like tetris that has a limited (many but finite) options, it comes down to how fast is the eye-hand coordination/reflexes. "The Flash" should have no point beating the game for that very reason.
Interestingly large companies will often have a hiring pipeline that isn't specific to a single team and role.

In the past Google made a lot of hires where they first give people a phone screen, then five in-person whiteboard interviews, then the interviewers send a dossier to a committee, then that committee decides whether to hire or not, then "team matching" lets hiring managers see the resumes.

So the interviews are basically conducted by random people, who have no idea what team the candidate will end up on.

Of course if you look at the number of employees Google has, and the average tenure, you can see why they make hires like Ikea makes chairs.

An astronomical number, but still fewer than there are stars in the known cosmos, by a factor of about 5,000,000. Even the most common forms of multicellular life are practically Silmarils in terms of rarity on the cosmic scale.
I must admit I'm a little disappointed that the bot isn't able to do this. It would be much more efficient.
I went from a huge Go fan to a primarily Rust developer. I recently went back to a Go SDK I had written and I did not regret moving to Rust at all.

The one thing I miss from Go is the insanely fast build times :)
You probably need to decide if you want no "lake effect" snow specifically or just don't want a lot of snow. It still snows a lot in places that aren't Buffalo or Syracuse. Just in New York state Ithaca is pretty much out of the lake effect snow belt but it still snows quite a bit.
The CityNerd, Ray Delahanty, just published a video on this topic.

(You can safely increase the speed of the video to 1.5x. He speaks slowly.)

If you don't feel like watching the entire video, I'll just recommend Iowa City, Iowa. It ticks all your boxes except maybe climate change refuge. But with all the money you save on housing, you can buy a vacation cabin/bunker further north.
Ironically, NearlyFreeSpeech still didn't exactly provide the "simple monthly max spend option" you were looking for, because now you're maintaining multiple prepaid accounts. It's silly that online services won't provide a billable account with a hard max.
Great job with the apps and signage. Rooting for your team!
because a lot of these apps are thin wrapper around a website.

I have the feeling that more often than not having an app is a vanity checkmark than delivering real value to users.
I've run into that with most manufacturer retail sales departments -- it's almost always a better buying experience to use Amazon or another established online merchant.

It's expensive to build out a first class order fulfillment system and it's hard to compete with Amazon's system since they have such huge economies of scale -- Amazon probably ships more product in a few hours than Garmin does all year from their retail site.

Even worse than buying products from a manufacturer is buying a spare/replacement parts, you need a $5 replacement charging cord? Well it'll cost you $15 in shipping and still take 2 weeks, and often those spares are only available from the manufacturer.

No DP through the USB-C port right now, no. I believe it's missing from the hardware.

Changing your number every year could mitigate as it would introduce entropy and stale data into the system. When done at scale, data lifetime would behave similar to the automatic deletion of messages on whatsapp. Somewhat mimicking an in person verbal conversation where only people's memories remember what was said and even their version gets changed every time memory recall takes place. Systems already exist in real life that protect privacy, it's just that we do a poor job of reproducing them with tech.

Changing your telephone number every year could be an artificial holiday like valentines day or halloween. It can be done if people deem it's important.

> we prevented 2.36 million policy-violating apps from being published on Google Play

"Removed" as in the title would imply for me these apps did hit the Google Play store at one point and were then removed. But from the article itself it sounds more like these were never made available in the first place?
I don't get it, is the objection that because fraud is happening, it's not "plan working as intended"? Does that mean zero fraud is a prerequisite for any "plan working as intended"?
"High concept" is a bit of a different case in that nobody ever knows the actual meaning. It's too obvious that, in the absence of the existing meaning, it would mean "conceptually complex". It's not at all obvious why you would use a phrase meaning "conceptually complex" when what you want to say is "conceptually trivial".
> It's a rewrite every time with the old code as reference.

As far as I'm aware, tools like Aider don't do this, it does targeted changes.

The way I do it "copy/paste into chat interface", I just have the relevant context and just change the parts required.

Hightouch (YC S19) Is Hiring a Distributed Systems Engineer
Some background on Hightouch - our mission is to help companies leverage their customer data to grow. We started with the problem of “Reverse ETL” or helping companies sync data from their data warehouse (e.g. Snowflake, Databricks, etc.) to 200+ SaaS tools (Salesforce, Marketo, Facebook Ads, etc.) without coding. Since then, we’ve evolved into a suite of tools around the warehouse (identity resolution, data enrichment, event streaming, etc.). We’ve raised a Series B and scaled to $40m+ ARR in 3 years with 800+ customers including Fortune 500 co’s like Spotify, the NBA, PetSmart, etc.

We are looking for a distributed systems engineer to work on the systems that power the syncing engine our customers and other engineering teams rely on. This presents an exciting challenge where you can apply your expertise in distributed systems, performance optimization, and troubleshooting to push the boundaries of what is possible and meaningful improve our ability to move massive amounts of customer data. This role also provides a unique opportunity to work on a multi-cloud and multi-region infrastructure that supports a global customer base.

We believe in enabling our engineers to do their best work for our customers by giving them extremely high levels of ownership and autonomy. This comes in different forms: you will own and deliver projects from start to finish, you will work directly with customers to solve their hardest scaling problems, and you will have a lot of influence over what we work on as a team and company.

Check out our job description here: https://boards.greenhouse.io/hightouch/jobs/4782632004
I have been trying to bring Musk and DOGE topics to light all week and have lost the ability to vouch as a consequence.
Very very summarized (the devil is in the details):

From 0: phrase books + spaced repetition + easy recordings for beginners (many webs provide them for lots of languages). Don't forget to work on listening and pronunciation

A1 - A2: add active reading with graded readers + some writing

B1 – B2: keep on graded readers and SRS, add Italki tutor, podcasts and new learning materials. Mix passive and active reading / listening. Start looking at grammar

+B2: lots of comprehensive input + whatever you fancy (eg language exchanges, creative writing, etc)

If you want to know more I wrote a book here: https://thehardway.guide/ (with lots of links to other books / sources)
JIT is something different people sometimes define in different ways.

In this sample, when the function itself is called (not when it's decorated), analysis runs followed by LLVM codegen and execution. The examples in the blog post are minimal, but can be trivially extended to cache the JIT step when needed, specialize on runtime argument types or values, etc.

If this isn't JIT, I'm curious to hear what you consider to be JIT?
Ansys SimAI | DevOps (more developer than SRE) | REMOTE (France, office is in Paris) | Full time

We're building products to predict the results of numerical simulation and act on them.
Since joining the Ansys portfolio we are experiencing more demand than ever and we need help to transform a good product and infra into something truly great.

At SimAI we lightly use AWS and heavily depend on Kubernetes, both being 100% configured through Infrastructure as Code (a bit of terraform and a lot of pulumi).
You will mostly work with Typescript (pulumi), Python (scripts and application code), Bash (scripts).

As a DevOps at SimAI you will work with me on exciting subjects like moving the compute closer to the customer, you will also work on improving our security posture and help secure more certifications for our platform.
As part of my job at SimAI I personally maintain <https://github.com/Trow-Registry/trow>.

Don't hesitate to apply, motivation matters as much as experience to me !

> Does this mean we can finally stop downloading and running a third of a MB of js on every website? moment.js, luxon, date-fns, are all obsolete? https://bundlephobia.com/package/moment@2.30.1

In reality, it probably means adding yet another polyfill to the list.
There are a lot more single threaded supply chain factories that you'd think.

When they start falling apart, it all starts falling apart. We got a dry run of this in covid with chips. One small part of chip making, think some substrate, was in short supply, and shut down the automakers

And even the Hurricane that hit NC, took out one of the single factories making high end quartz for chips.
FYI, going to suspend / receiving calls during suspend / waking from suspend haven't been a general problem on the (non-Pro) PinePhone since 2021. You just have to make sure to switch to the FOSS modem firmware, and occasionally there are regressions (the most recent one being https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/mobile-broadband/ModemManager... ).
What is the philosophical distinction between having "intention", and being a perfect behavioral simulation of something with intention? An LLM "merely" predicts the next token, but we do not interact directly with LLMs - we interact with carefully constructed characters which the LLM simulates. These characters can certainly have intention.

Similarly, I think it's a mistake to say that "the output can only ever be average". Clearly that's not the case - ChatGPT already writes and answers questions to a well above average standard. The insight is that you can tailor the distribution from which your "average" is taken. Average what? Average web page? Average HN comment? Average essay by a once-in-century deep thinker? Crudely speaking, that is what "prompting" is all about. If all you ever got was "the average text", then you would have no control at all.
Show HN: Java RingBuffer implementation with optional FIFO like semantics
Given a stream of events, for any event in the stream I needed to be able to obtain both the preceding and following n events. To achieve this, I developed this RingBuffer implementation. When operating in `ordered` mode it allows me to get the preceding n events, at that point, by then adding a listener to the RingBuffer I can then also get the following n events.

I paid my pixel phone 300€ 2 years ago, and the only limits I have are the camera, the battery and the storage. The camera is good but the more expensive phones have a better camera system. The battery and the storage are just a shitty choice by Google that decided to not have a swappable battery and a miscrosd card for 5€.

For everything else, no phone even costing 1 or 2k can do something that I cannot do with mine.
> because a lot of these apps are thin wrapper around a website.

It still would count an app so I dont see your point.
The emulator these days is just using an x86_64 image and with not-that-modern VM hardware extensions the overhead is pretty small.

So I'd expect CPU performance to be very similar if not basically identical.

GPU performance would be the bigger question, and the emulator has put a lot of work in that direction. Is this better or worse than that would be the biggest difference performance-wise.
> Amazon listings are blocked from google shopping

I see Amazon results there all the time. 3 of the visible 8 sponsored results are Amazon, in the non-sponsored results an Amazon listing is either first or second in every category.
that sounds like a nightmare to browse and watch; i'm already annoyed by my much smaller library in this regard
The Unaccounted Hours of Human Maintenance
Could someone ELI5? It sounds like they generate a compressed token which represents a whole "thought" rather than elaborating the entire "thought" in actual language. Is that right?
This is fantastic advice. For senior engineers, its common for stock to be up to 1/3rd of compensatation. If the stock goes up by 6x - then you’ll be making 3x your original negotiated compensation. Being able to save multiple years worth of take-home salary every year is life changing.

After 4 years of this, you may not have your original career - but 8-15 years of pay saved provides lots of optionality.
I tell it to discover that itself by asking leading questions:
“What does this repo do?”
“How do you run its unit tests?”
“What does file foo do?”
Gotta give my hats off to the security researcher for being able to do this.

Human rights are really important, but I feel like I could make a bigger change by using my voice in some other forum than vandalizing GitHub issues, but each on their own I guess. Hacker culture's gonna hacker culture :D

Personally I would've just reported this to Microsoft and donated some of the bounty rewards for messaging about causes that are important to me.
I'm pretty sure it's mostly tree rings that they use to calibrate it since they are pretty much perfect for it as each ring absorbs carbon for a single year and then stops so you get a two for one of basically a stack of samples each for a different year covering a broad span of time.
A running total of the "cost of my side project" doesn't feel particularly good.

> FFS, the "Hacker" in "Hacker News" is based on a venture capitalist co-opting a rebellious term to convince a bunch of impressionable youths that they can have this alluring label and that the cool kids software club is actually working for his vc firm.

Ok, I didn't see the forest for the trees there, which is quite funny. But I still get together with friends to build stuff for the sake of it, without any intention of commercializing the things we build, and there is still a very large corpus of FOSS software being maintained by people simply because they think it is cool, or because they are idealists who want free software to be free.
The emulator is just KVM. Yes VMs vs. container is a difference, just like it is in endless cloud discussions, but it's not particularly big in any objective metrics
there are reports that some openai employees initially learned about the release of the chatgpt interface via twitter. this move appears to have been orchestrated from on high by sam altman, who, despite his carefully curated public image, is not a scientist or researcher and holds no academic credentials at all, let alone any in the fields of computer science, machine learning, or linguistics. he is a prep-school educated kid who washed out of a comp sci degree at stanford that managed to pawn that off into being a VC who serves on the board of startups. in short, he is the exact kind of business guy this article is critiquing.

the release and viral adoption of chatgpt drove altman's personal profile and the valuation of the company he runs into the stratosphere, but, to many of the more sober/cynical minded of people who have been doing this kind of research for years (myself included), it appears to be at the cost of dropping a poorly understood (by the general public) technology with a high potential for abuse by multitude of different types of bad actors onto the general public with little or no plan for how to manage/mitigate the repercussions on the rest of society.

so yes, did openai play a "a significant role in accelerating the progress and acceptance of AI in our daily lives"... yes, but to many, that is not a good thing. we are only just beginning to scratch the surface of what this tech's impact will be on society as a whole. my guess is that most people with scientific / engineering backgrounds would have preferred a more incremental and controlled release process into broader adoption. instead, it seems like just another cynical move by another silicon valley pencil pusher relentlessly seeking to enrich themselves while accelerating the pace at which the billions of other people on this planet need to deal with downstream consequences of this action.
Science do in fact rely on philosophy that's how we got the scientific method.
^ This.

But to elaborate more, do you ever play a single player game like Skyrim, finish every quest, lead every guild?

Life is unfortunately not like that, you can't "win" every path. It's multiplayer, and everything comes with a tradeoff.

If you want to win at "career success", it's there, lots of people would love to be in your place. But people will sometimes tell you what to do.

If you want to win at "agency" it's also available, but you lose money and progress, take a big risk.
Cool thanks, I will take a look at it
wow!!!! true pioneer! amazing!!
Your comment made my day thank you. Specifically the statement about showing yourself out. I pictured how this would have looked in real life. A friend comes to visit and drops a comment then leaves knowing it's bad taste for the rest of the group!
How would you define corporatism?
auto is fixing the problem of long-ass type names for intermediaries thanks to templates and iterators.

Move is fixing the problem of unnecessary mass-construction when you pass around containers.

std::ranges was introduced because dear fucking god the syntax for iterating over a partial container. (And the endless off-by-one errors)

concepts, among other things, fix (sorta) the utter shit show that templates brought to error messages, as well as debacles like SFINAE and std::enable_if.

You're right. They're not fixing problems created by previous features. They're all fixing problems created or made massively worse by templates.
