At the risk of discounting a genuine anecdote, I feel inclined to point out that the grandparent and parent post exactly model a very trendy type of spam that I've noticed appearing in YouTube comment sections at an ever-growing rate; especially in self-help and financial-advice areas.

I guess it's impossible to prove whether someone's anecdote is genuine or not. I'd at least suggest people try visiting a YouTube financial advice video, read the comments, and you'll see this pattern like every ten comments.
HP to Acquire Parts of Humane for $116M
Everyone in the federal government received an email from OPM entitled "A Fork in the Road", offering the opportunity to receive a buyout in exchange for their resignation.
Ask HN: When interviewing candidates do you ask them about their side projects?
I was speaking with a friend a few weeks ago and they said that they've been warned off asking candidates about their side projects.

I can understand not asking it for more senior roles where there's a lot of history to draw on but for graduates/interns/juniors/mids do you ask them what they building on the side and see where their passions lie? Or do we just sound like relics from a bygone era?

Interesting. The only mainstream provider who does this that I know of is Red Hat[0]. It's amusing because it's a validation of the belief that companies will try to maximize customer spend on their highest margin SKUs.

I’m a big believer in free speech, including hate speech.

I don’t think all exercises of free speech are OK.

Maybe you’re from a country where obnoxious has a stronger meaning.

But a bunch of Nazis walking down the road demanding human rights violations is pretty obnoxious.
Aside, but what do you recommend for internal docs? Particularly if your internal docs are all Markdown?
>In my experience, biased authors are unintentionally reliable narrators. The reader can use that bias as an anchor for truth

This is absolutely nonsensical. No amount of watching InfoWars can help you understand global warming or the operations of FEMA.

Bad information isn't like the "picking stocks" problem where being reliably wrong can be mapped to being right. Enough bias just comprehensively ruins the data.
Cruelty Squad is also a successful FPS title built with Godot, but its deliberately hideous aesthetic probably makes it the worst possible way to sell anyone on the merits of the engine.

The US decided ByteDance and TikTok were national security threats, so presumably this is not a "good thing" from the US's perspective.

I made a free browser extension to easily track Instagram unfollowers
I had a hard time finding a trustable and easy to use option to track my IG following and unfollowers. I found a solution of David Arroyo that works by pasting some code to the browser console, but it is not easy to use and I gotta go copy the code from the internet over and over.

So, I made Meerkat, a completely free extension that does all that in a button click, you just have to open your Instagram on the browser to click the button.

It works for me, hopefully it makes it easy for you. Feel free to comment if you have any feedback, I would love to hear it!
An example of highly relevant, yet flagged with political motivation.

We should try and do better than that.
We'll never know until (or if it ever comes) but there's reason to believe Fusion could be >50% cheaper than Fission.

That would still be more expensive than Solar and Wind (by 100% or more) - but I am skeptical in the same time frame those sources will be able to take over baseload generation.

It's really comparing apples to oranges.

Plus, it's a very hypothetical future. Anything could happen between now and then.
I am not jumping to conclusions and will reserve the judgement for later. They provided no proof so far, but hopefully it will be forthcoming, and I would not dismiss their claim outright.

Relocated where and by whom? Just curious.
Smart/iot devices using DoH (or other encrypted DNS) is a headache that would need to be solved at the router (mitming/redirecting to your preferred provider? or straight up blocking) with a big blocklist. Unfortunate what a double-edged sword DoH is becoming.

I remember back in the day that some software sold the manual separately. Even the digital copies.

I think that's one of the most incredibly short sighted moves you can make. Effectively paywalling the people that want to use your software.

I have to say that I'm not really flabbergasted that AWS did it, although it's definitely a new low. Stark warning to newcomers.
Seems like Twitter is bigger than ever.
Considering it's fusion we're talking about, 1,337 seconds is about as arbitrary as 1,000 seconds. On a 24-hour clock, 13:37 is 1:37pm. 137 is the fine-structure constant or α. Who knows what they're actually capable of. A second more at this point would be pointless.

I read the entire thing in one sitting. I think I assumed it was just a normal blog-post length and the scroll bar at the side was so small because the bottom had a bunch of photos or more articles or something. The story was engaging, so I just continued reading.
Beautiful irony in getting ratioed for this post.

To be fair, British (e.g. Experian) and SK (e.g. Samsung) companies do the same.
Musk indeed has a lot of influence. Trump is a narcissist. Not saying this will happen, but it's definitely not impossible that Trump just orders Musk shot (as per opinion of what's now allowed in the dissenting opinion of Supreme Court Justice Sonia Sotomayor) — if such an order is followed, I wouldn't want to guess, but death has a way of significantly altering someone's influence.

Communication—the ability to convey ideas clearly but with tact and elegance—is a skill independent of IQ or creativity. Even highly intelligent and creative individuals can struggle with it.

However, AI, when used correctly, can refine and enhance expression, making communication more effective and polished. It serves as a powerful tool for articulating thoughts with greater clarity and sophistication. Mastering the art of AI-assisted communication, including its techniques and potential pitfalls, could undoubtedly be the subject of a valuable and insightful book for all spectrums of humanity.

A Mathematician Who Makes the Best of Things
Are the smartest actually more arrogant? I know it is a stereotype, but this study seem to suggest the opposite...

https://adigaskell.org/2019/05/07/the-smartest-people-tend-t...

From my own experience there are plenty of arrogant dumb asses about and using an AI can lead to confirmation bias making arrogant dumb asses confidently wrong. Though some social media exposure can do the same.
Some missing context is that the data is shared via the DeepSeek app's use of ByteDance analytics/configuration frameworks. So not a backroom deal where DeekSeek handed over the chat history for its user base, but rather ongoing analytics data being sent from the DeepSeek mobile app.

Here's the SecurityScoreCard article that brought attention to this: https://securityscorecard.com/blog/a-deep-peek-at-deepseek/#...

Besides the usual analytics data (device metadata, user behavior, app performance, errors, etc), it's possible raw chat data is being shared as well, but it's not a smoking gun.
Current title is "Amazon is shutting down 'Inspire,' its TikTok-like feed for product discovery", which comes off as ideally neutral, compared to the submission title.

Unfortunately, Google has set the bar incredibly high for killing "yet another" anything.

The three examples of other Amazon products killed from the article are the Fire Phone (1 year), Amazon Dash (5 years), and Amazon Tap (2 years). The Fire Phone and Amazon Tap were failures from the jump, although the Tap was just a different packaging for the Alexa service. Dash was a novel product/service that was replaced by recurring purchases.
That’d be interesting to learn more about. What I’ve seen always leans toward regulation driving costs.

Though I guess some of that infrastructure could be overbuilt due to excessive regulation.

Also much of the concrete and steel is needed for the containment domes. Fusion power likely wouldn’t require nearly as much protection. Perhaps just a fairly standard industrial building.

These spammers also spammed threats to Codeberg users that maintain projects that advocate for human rights, trans rights, etc and collect facts/data against hate and discrimination. The content of those threats are how we know those spammers are far-right forces. The spam email notification was just a side-thing the spammers did to get more attention.
what is less clear cut? you can safely assume they do at least the same things as meta.
Do NOT bill by the hour. Bill the project as a fixed cost to get your foot in the door, but with a clause to switch to hourly for changes requested that stray from the original requirements, with a two hour minimum per change.

The pain of being billed hourly will discourage clients from requesting too many trivial changes.
I'm not a fan of patents, but i'm not sure this is fair.

That phrase had a fairly specific meaning back when it was written, and they seem to be hewing to it.

It's not open source but it is free
It's not just CGI, background replacement and other effects work. Some cinematographers have been noting that the increasingly flat, uninspiring look of much modern content is partly due to the amazing dynamic range of modern camera imagers as well as HDR production workflows. While wonderful, this also enables a kind of laziness (or expediency) when shooting. You don't have to specially light many scenes as much (or at all) as long as there's enough ambient light. While this can enable styles like cinema verite to be higher-quality, it also lets film-makers just go with ensuring there's enough flat light overall and call it good enough. Intentional lighting is hard and time-consuming but it's also one of the most expressive visual elements of film-making.

Another factor is that dramatic lighting tends to dance closer to the edge in terms of quality. Lighting a high contrast scene with inky blacks in one area and your hero elements in moody shadow means that those very dark areas are at risk of slipping into the floor of imager noise. The same is true when there are extremely bright elements near the upper-bound of clipping. While modern imagers and HDR capture give film-makers more latitude than ever to avoid these problems, perversely, the same luxuries seem to be making younger film-makers less skilled, or at least less confident, in their ability to dance close to the edges of too dark or too bright.

Newer post-production color grading tools also enable new degrees of what's possible to "just fix in post." Once again, this is wonderful when we need to fix a mistake or for amateur and hobby productions which don't have the time, budget, gear or even knowledge to do creative lighting. The downside is it creates an ever-present temptation when under time and/or budget pressure to take the shortcut and just bounce a key light off the ceiling and a fill off the wall and call it done. It's sad because modern imager sensitivity and battery-powered, micro-sized lighting instruments now make it easier, cheaper and faster than ever to do intentional lighting at a Vittorio Storaro level. Storaro might spend half a day with a crew of six gaffers lighting one scene that a four person indie crew could largely recreate today in an hour with $1k of lights, clamps and stands from Amazon.

This recent video discusses the problem from a cinematography perspective: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EwTUM9cFeSo
Bytedance's entire business model is based on user-targeting and showing things what they might enjoy watching, so they can push more ads to them. I wouldn't be surprised if they bought the data to train their own LLMs.
I'm not sure I understand what it means to be the "intern host" in this context or why that matters for authorship, if the intern was working for another team, and that team was the one working on the paper.

Regardless, if you showed up to a weekly meeting, and provided insight into the data provided, then it does sound like you deserve authorship.
Maybe the AI trained by the best engineers will help other people get into physics and then study nuclear fusion.
This is common in specifications and standards, ISO standards are expensive to get, and good luck if you try to get the HDMI 2.1 specification. Usually, people need that type of documentation if they are developing products they will later sell (although there are other uses, like hobby and research...). Not saying that I second putting such documentation behind paywalls, but it is at least in part understandable. On the other hand, paywalling documentation about a product I have anyway to pay for if I want to use it feels very greedy.
Did they remove it just on this article or did they stop this treacherous act altogether?

As I'm asking you if you want this done, take your pick.

Loss of oversight made a bunch of USSR suitcase nukes, ~100 or so, go walkabout when they collapsed. Russia denies this, of course. They might be fine, or not, nobody (in public) really knows. Probably not a huge risk without maintenance, if you nick it but don't know what it is you might scrap it for parts and mistake the core for tungsten or lead, but… not great, unless it was existing nuclear powers who took them.

And even then, not great for Russia.
I got told that it could be indeed the case that my brain continuously has small seizures but only from time to time they break trough and cause the pain and auras which I would then experience. They wanted to measure the brainwaves to figure out if that was the case. That would also somehow fit what OP said, so I guess this is known in the medical world already. Or at least something in that direction.
I had some years in my life where I could definitely relate to this, but I'm completely recovered.

I think the key is to have some part of your life that is meaningful and fulfilling and not dependent on your work situation - aka hobbies.

To relate it back to the story, there's a part where the protagonist thinks about what they've been doing with their time ("What have you been doing with the remaining 36 hours of the past workweek?") - when you're at this step, you should pick something up.

Painting, learning spanish, volunteering at the animal shelter, amateur hockey league, picking up trash at the park, writing a book, etc

If you can manage this, you'll find a new appreciation for your job. This thing that is minimal tax on your life that allows you the opportunity to hobby in the 99th percentile.
The extremely interesting part is that 3.5 Sonnet is above o1 on this benchmark, which again shows that 3.5 Sonnet is a very special model that's best for real world tasks and not some one-shot scripts or math. And the weirdest part is that they tested the 20240620 snapshot which is objectively worse on code than the newer 20241022 (so-called v2).
Huh? Don’t all of the network gesr manufacturers do this?
>Ethan literally wrote "a far-right President" won, so I wouldn't consider 18F non-partisan

a) That’s a fair way to describe it regardless of political leanings, and moreover even if it wasn’t, I fail to see how that’s somehow able to be extrapolated to the entire org.

b) Last I checked government employees are allowed to express their opinions, which would be relevant had the man not resigned - meaning what you’ve read is a personal take. Like the vast majority of people, I doubt he took politics to work.

c) Consider 18F was started under the Obama administration and continued through the first Trump administration.

The federal government is being actively dismantled right now in ways that are unprecedented - even for every Republican administration in recent history.

I think it’s reasonable to say “far-right” isn’t partisan in that context. It’s accurate.
I once ran a regional meetup with this as the activity. Walked through how to build the bots, how it all ran, and let people have a go at building their own.

After an hour or two, we ran a series of rounds to see whose bot would win. The grand winner? A guy who had no idea to code, so we asked him how he did it. It turned out he just took one of the standard bots and changed a string to rename it.
I live in Vancouver BC, we have a power outage every 1-2 years due to high winds or fallen power poles. I noticed some devices on my home network whilst connected to power have power quality issues too, no doubt a UPS would help here.
> React's productivity is still unmatched

I'm React developer since 2015 and working on side with svelte+sveltekit for the last 3 years. For me it's exactly the opposite. React was huge upgrade from Angular 1 and jQuery development before, but everything goes so much more quickly together with Svelte. I understand that there is no one-size-fits-all for UI frameworks, and we have different thought-processes for lack of a better word, but saying React's productivity is unmatched, is very much untrue.
again, ... bad for who? For Trump and his Silicon Valley sycophants? If that is a yes, then I don't see why this is a bad thing for Europe.
> I love not commuting but I do wonder if working in person would help fix this.

In my case I think it would help a lot. I feels kind of lonely in this job too. There is no chatter or jokes, discussing news, tech meetups, nothing. Most of the day it is just 'please look at this PR' or 'Can customer have to active addresses' communication.
And I rather social person. But I can't commute because I have small kids that needs to be driven to and from kindergarten everyday. And in a small city IT does not exists so either commuting or remote work.
Drastic cost cuts are usually not simply performance issues and usually the mistake of top management (usually overhiring), but of course it hurts most the employees.
> It is as good as unit testing, but reactive in the browser.

I am confused about this because on the one hand, you seem to be hinting at my favorite, under-hyped aspect of testing, which is its use (via TDD) as a controlled-state print/debugger, but on the other you seem to be eliding the most popular--albeit, in my view, less important aspect (insofar as one aims for "working software over comprehensive documentation"[0])--the preservation of behavior across commits and into the future.

What am I missing?

I don't think so. You can't buy user data from Google or Facebook or Apple or Microsoft and they probably have more of it than anybody else.
The way Musk has acted in the past 4 weeks has caused people here to feel it's not in good faith. Suspending judgement when people are lying to your face is a recipe for getting the wool pulled over your eyes. We have ample reason to think Musk isn't acting in good faith, mainly because of the drive-by posting he is doing and the way he's not working with Congress. He wants to make incredible claims without credible evidence... which just makes his claims incredible.

If Musk were doing what FDR did 100 years ago -- affecting major change by working through Congress -- there would be a different response.
When did it become my question?
Does he talk about exercising while in pain at all? This has been something that really worked for me after tearing my achilles. After 8 months it still felt irritated 24/7 and I was terrified of re-injury, but ramping up the intensity of my ankle/calf exercises started to make it better. The harder exercises were probably having a minimal impact on strength, but they were having a huge effect on convincing my brain that the area was fine and it could drop its obsession with it.
I did a bit of homework. PG&E publishes their rate schedules, of which they have many, and even a fairly cursory read strongly suggests that both the cost breakdowns and the times associated with time-of-use rates are, to put it mildly, divorced from any realistic estimation of actual costs. (Check out how inconsistent the schedules are from each other!)

Here's the "Business Electric Vehicle" schedule, which appears to be the relevant one from EV charging stations:

https://www.pge.com/tariffs/assets/pdf/tariffbook/ELEC_SCHED...

Roughly 38c/kWh peak and 16c/kWh "super off peak" plus $1.24/kWh monthly for maximum load. (So a supercharger would pay some $248/month for the privilege of being connected, and peak shaving can reduce this.)

Here's the current residential schedule:

https://www.pge.com/tariffs/assets/pdf/tariffbook/ELEC_SCHED...

Wow, 62c/kWh peak and 30c/kWh off-peak. At least the times kind of line up.

Here's the legacy ones, with totally different off-peak times!

https://www.pge.com/tariffs/assets/pdf/tariffbook/ELEC_SCHED...

Anyway, the morning-to-mid-afternoon rates in CA for public chargers are high but not outrageous.
