It's more a question of the article. What we're looking for includes: is the article not too repetitive of recent discussions? does it contain significant new information? is there a reasonable chance that it could support a substantive, thoughtful discussion, or is it too flamebaity/provocative? that kind of thing.

Here's a subthread from yesterday where I went into this in depth: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=42911011. Past explanations: https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=true&que....

If anyone has a question that isn't answered at those links, I'd be happy to take a crack at it.

No, they are not actually part of the government, authorized by any act of Congress, nor paid by it.
Pretty sure it's less the reduced wildlife and more the efficient food production of / for humans. Modern agriculture is crazy efficient compared to grazing, foraging and such - in forests, where the relatively "unproductive" trees get most of the light.
And MAGAs will even make an excuse even when Trump said they will “suffer some pain”…
Since when did winning competitions require experience optimizing costs across various industries?

I don't think anybody is doubting they're smart, just that they have no experience doing this kind of work and are now being trusted by the highest level of government to do it.

Hi! Just to clarify, your posting here says REMOTE(US,CANADA) but your hiring website says Remote US. Am I right in assuming that you are hiring remotely in Canada for all positions as well?
> A lot of people are acting like the end of history is here.

Would you rather:

* 'over react' about the end of history, and be wrong (i.e. things turn out fine), or

* 'under react' and end up with a bunch of thugs in charge?

It's possible this is a situation where you're crying "wolf" when there isn't one, but given Trump's erratic mind, and the stated plans of the political right

* https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Project_2025

which side to you want to err of?

And with regards to "over reacting" and nothing happening: a lot of folks said Y2K was an over reaction because nothing happened, but nothing happened because people did a much reacting. That nothing burger was a success, not a sign of over reaction.
I write a dozen checks or so a month. US banks typically do not charge someone to receive a paper check, and the only cost of writing a paper check is acquiring the piece of paper, which doesn’t need to be bought from the bank and is relatively inexpensive.

Furthermore, all electronic payment systems in the US are either operated by for-profit companies (VISA, Venmo), or are not available to consumers for one off transactions (ACH).

The result is that for many circumstances, paper checks are the cheapest way to move money around, even after accounting for their credit and fraud risks.

I write paper checks for:

• municipal utilities that either don’t accept electronic payment, or have a surcharge for electronic payment that exceeds my costs for writing checks.

• services provided by individuals or sometimes small businesses. While these sorts of people accept Venmo and their competitors more often than they used to, many of them still prefer a check.

• quarterly state and federal tax payments. While these guys accept EFT, the websites are terrible so it’s usually a better use of my time to mail a check.

• anybody who will give me a greater than 1.5% discount for paying by check rather than credit card. Contractors and small medical offices fall into this category most often. But sometimes also local shops for large ticket purchases.

Cool, I have the greatest respect for Ali. I’ll apply today.
I should say my advice is for younger adults. Im sure the dynamics of 45yo+ dating is much different.

This is where I say your pool becomes limited. You need potential-matches who (1) not only seek "serious" partners, but (2) are emotionally more receptive to the photos. I would suggest the latter as actually adding more pressure vs receptiveness...

I think there is a paradox of "seriousness" converting to less success on apps - even with both sides having mutual interests. Declaring your seriousness sets a very early expectation FOR STRANGERS. When Im connecting with a woman who has "life partner only" on her profile... I feel pressured, regardless of attraction. Even when I (and literally 99% of the world) desire that type of human connection.

This is why natural occurrences in person are touted for.

This is why rising kink apps are seeing success as well as a bit of a revival with tinder (here is all of me, no expectations, if you like it - cool, lets see where it goes)

America is the most successful country in the world, and you want to stop all that to tear it down? So that the richest man in the world can get even richer by directing the US government to his liking? Or what? I really don't understand how you think a failed businessman reality Tv host and a "dark gothic maga" troll are going to be good for America.
Well, it’s not mandatory to take out a passport or ID card anywhere that I’m aware. And perhaps a photo ID database would have been as far as I’d be willing to stretch when it comes to storing biometrics.

But you do realize that even the government of each state does not know who lives at what address? The only exception being around the time of each census.

It’s a miracle people can get their mail in the US (and I know a whole neighborhood on Hawaii that can’t!)

Resume/CV: https://artjomplaunov.github.io/resume

Email: artyemnyc@gmail.com

Hello!

I am a software engineer based in NYC. I was previously an adjunct lecturer in the computer science department at Hunter College. I taught the capstone project course, where I supervised student groups on their final projects for the degree. This was an interesting experience because I effectively got to oversee an estimated 3-4K combined human hours of coding per semester.

I spend a majority of my free time programming to learn and keep rounding out my computer science knowledge -- I think coding something up is a great way to truly understand the topic. Currently I am fascinated with databases, and I am writing an RDBMS from scratch in OCaml. I have implemented low level file management operations, buffer pool and transaction management, pipelined query processing, a disk backed B+ tree, and a simple parser/interpreter that ties in with the query processing engine. This project is released as a pedagogical tool for others who want to do database hacking in OCaml.

I am currently writing up a series of posts on how I designed the disk backed B+ tree and implemented it:
https://artjomplaunov.github.io/database/b+/tree/2025/01/13/...

I am open to any work that involves programming; although I use OCaml in my own projects, I am comfortable with any systems programming languages such as C/C++ and Go, and I am quick to pick up new languages and frameworks.

Yes that is how FAANG works, but they’re the oddity. Most large organizations don’t hire that way. Google invented this method of hiring, and others copied. It is debatable whether it has been good or not for them.

Usually what happens in a large org is (1) a department gets allocated a head count, and it eventually trickles down to team allocations; (2) a team needs a role that they can’t backfill from the rest of the company; (3) the team lead puts out an ad, receives resumes (directly or through HR), schedules interviews, and makes the hiring decision themselves. Exactly the same as a small company or startup in the last step.

A great article that elicited a lot of thoughts.

(1) I used to make those kind of non-informative scatter plots with xvgr when I was a grad student, this package does a great job for those kind of cases

https://seaborn.pydata.org/generated/seaborn.relplot.html

even if you don't use it you can copy its patterns to make designs that work

(2) An obvious commercial offering for guys is a photography package. About 20 years ago I went to the biggest photog in my town and my publisher paid $100 for a headshot that was just a junior photog in the studio. If you were a bride you would get premium hair and makeup to go with your photography, even if you were appearing on TV you would probably get a little hair and makeup help.

(3) With the right choice architecture you could control things such as "the percentage of people that you like" or "the number of likes that you receive". For instance if you were going just on looks it would be easy to show people a stack of 10 photos and have them sort them in attractiveness; you could also show pairs of profiles and pick an ELO for each one. If you look at it as a relative ranking process you can peel off whatever percentage off the top that you want.

An obvious objection is that given such a choice the "hot" people will be the only ones that get chosen but a counter to that is that you can put an upper limit on how many "likes" somebody gets by not showing them to people.

This contradicts some things he says later on about things that help the apps retain people, but from the viewpoint of making an app that "works", girls who are looking for commitment really aren't benefiting from seeing profiles from hot guys who get a lot of attention and provide nothing but casual sex.
What's the underlying principle here? If you think somebody is a fascist you can attack their family? Do you think there should be any legal process or protection for anybody accused by another random person of being a fascist?
Simple answer: No.

They have interesting pedigrees: Meta, Palantir, Neuralink, xAI, SpaceX, Databricks, Energize AI.

It seems clear where this is going. Data mining and algorithmic (claimed!) efficiency improvements while working on an essential and critical production system.

Since these people claim that "AI" does not need to respect privacy and copyright, perhaps they'll also train a model on this.

Where are the Democrats on all this? There is hardly any opposition. Are they not interrupting their enemy while he is making mistakes? That would be the only explanation.

I highly doubt they have the right clearances for that. Additionally, congress controls the purse, not the executive branch. Even if DOGE was an above board agency approved by congress, withholding money that congress approved is incredibly illegal and may lead to a real constitutional crisis.

Linux's rdrand use is proof against it returning bad output, but is not proof against malicious microcode. Reason for this is that the malicious microcode can examine register contents and alter the value it's returning so that mixing it into the previous source of randomness produces the desired evil value.
