Code reviews.

Teams are really sleeping on code reviews as an assessment tool. As in having the candidate review code.

A junior, mid, senior, staff are going to see very different things in the same codebase.

Not only that, as AI generated code becomes more common, teams might want to actively select for devs that can efficiently review code for quality and correctness.

I went through one interview with a YC company that had a first round code review. I enjoyed it so much that I ended up making a small open source app for teams that want to use code reviews: https://coderev.app (repo: https://github.com/CharlieDigital/coderev)
The president influences the judicial branch by appointing its members. There are now lots of federal judges, and several Supreme Court justices, appointed by Trump during his first term, who seem happy to allow Trump to do whatever he wants to do.

Certainly that's not universal. Some Trump appointees will likely balk when Trump goes too far in their estimation. But this is what happens when the GOP politicizes their judicial appointments.
> Also, the best (albeit the most expensive) selection process is simply letting the new person to do the actual work for a few weeks.

What kind of desperate candidate would agree to that? Also, what do you expect to see from the person in a few weeks? Usual onboarding (company + project) will take like 2-3 months before a person is efficient.
Migraines are the absolute worst. On average I would get 6-8 a year. My triggers are primarily not eating frequently enough, bright lights and constant loud sounds. Knowing that, I mostly am able to avoid them and I can usually tell early enough when one is coming on to course correct. I never really explored any medication with my doctor because it was infrequent enough that I didn't really think of it. Then I had the worst migraine of my life. Typically I would vomit some as it starts to get really bad. Usually at that time I'm already laying on the bathroom floor because there are no lights of any kind in my bathroom that aren't tied to the switch. Also I rapidly alternate between being freezing cold and burning up so the cold floor is ideal (I also bring a blanket.) If it has hit this point I'm often in there for 4-6 hours before I can at least move to the bedroom.

The worst one, however, I spent 8 hours in the bathroom and for that entire 8 hours I never stopped vomiting. Well, I did, but only because there was nothing left inside of me. Dry heaving for that amount of time is not fun and it is even worse when combined with the terrible pain of the migraine. I never want to have that happen again. I genuinely don't know how people who get Migraines once a week or even more often can do it. If I got migraines like that every few days I would have blown my brains out a long time ago.

I try to avoid my triggers as best as possible but I was also prescribed sumatriptan as a last resort to take if I know it is going to hit. It has its own side effects that suck but it sucks a lot less than the migraine it prevents.

> One major development snag involves the software used to power the modem, some of which was acquired from Intel. The Intel code wasn’t up to the task, and most of it had to be rewritten from scratch, people involved in the project said. As Apple engineers sought to add new features, existing capabilities would break, and the modem wouldn’t work properly.
Where I work in VFX (RSP) we have an ML department and a lot of what they do is about replacing things in footage (face replacement onto double-actors, de-ageing and so on). What they achieve (that brings significant value) seems fairly adjacent to the tech in the article. Our ML crew have the benefit of a strong compositing department (and other support) that can help integrate the results nicely and smooth over any rough edges. The ML team were nominated for a VES award for their work on Furiosa recently!
Last time I used chatbox arena, I was the one to ask question to LLM and so I made my own benchmark. There wasn't any predefined question.

How could Musk LLM train on data that does not yet exist ?
Steam did in fact did remake a isometric 2D of "The Warlock of Firetop Mountain":

https://store.steampowered.com/app/324740/The_Warlock_of_Fir...

alongside the classic (static HTML images) book version:

https://store.steampowered.com/app/856960/The_Warlock_of_Fir...

Steam's marketing was seriously confusing; they bundled a lot of the SJG titles together ('Fighting Fantasy MEGA Bundle') and frontloaded the bundle listing with a 2D screenshot of Warlock so a casual read might assume all the titles had gotten that treatment. (Probably if they;d gotten more sales on the remade Warlock, they would have remade other titles too.)
> But how are animals with nerve-centres or brains different?

In current LLM neural networks, the signal proceeds in one direction, from input, through the layers, to output. To the extend that LLM's have memory and feedback loops, it's that they write the output of the process to text, and then read that text and process it again though their unidirectional calculations.

Animal brains have circular signals and feedback loops.

There are Recurrent Neural Network (RNN) architectures, but current LLM's are not these.
Do you reevaluate them in predetermined intervals to see how your initial expectation matches the outcome?
Those are bubbles. I am aware such people exist but nobody I know grinds leetcode or does hobby programing.
It's to avoid corruption.

I worked for the equivalent of the IRS for two month in my country (student job basically). When people asked for a deferred payment, i could accept it if it was the first time, but when they asked for a deffered payment the second time, or for reduced taxes (recent job loss, loss of a house or big events like this), i had the mean to verify who the person asking for this was, but not the mean to approve it.

I verified the information and filled a form, then asked for approval. The person approving had no idea who the person asking was (he had no access to the tool i used to match the internal ID to an actual person), but had the form i filled, and approved of the deferred payment/reduced taxes without any knowledge of who asked. Also i did not know who that person was, and he did not know who i was.

All of that is not very effective, but it reduces the risk of corruption from civil servants: you either have limited information, or limited power (this isn't the case with mayor or other elected officials though).
A new president, sure. But an opponent? We'll see I guess.

Remember when Trump said "we wouldn't have to vote ever again"? That was 3 months ago, so maybe your memory doesn't go that far.
Because that will automatically become the next annoyance.
When I did live in the burbs of Atlanta GA- both the south side and the north side, there were also public parks, bike trails etc within 3 miles of my home.

All of the things you mentioned are right there in suburbia. We rarely went “in town” for anything and I remember having a conversation with some relatives that said it had been years since they actually been to Atlanta proper and they lived in the burbs.

Of course you can find places in most major cities that are walkable and around parks and lakes. We briefly looked at moving to this suburb of Orlando

If we had decided to stay in Atlanta, we were looking at places close to Piedmont Park

You don’t have to move to Europe. Right now the original poster was comparing Seattle of all places as far as affordability. That’s one of the most expensive cities in the US and the weather is always awful. I actually turned down a chance to even interview for a job there because I knew I would never want to live in Seattle and the compensation difference wouldn’t have been worth it.
Chickens are vaccinated in Europe.
Yes, so long as there's checks and balances and accountability. The president is not king, just chief executive.
This meatwave meme needs to die. Again ,if Ukrainians are being beaten by guy in crutches,it says so much about this NATO armed and trained force
If only it was only the early hours. The damn things scream pretty much all the time. I've had two neighbors over the years that accidentally kept roosters.

So, if you want to keep backyard chickens, save yourself the trouble and get the red sex linked chicks. They are hybrids whose color is very reliably determined by color, so you can be pretty sure you aren't getting a rooster chick.

It's either that or brace yourself for the process of turning the occasion young rooster into fried chicken before it gets too obstreperous.
> Mullvad is near the cutting edge on zero trust deployments

What is "zero trust deployments"?
> It makes no sense to get a £80 vet bill on a chicken that cost £20.

This logic is confusing. You are taking a purely transactional view when it comes to the chicken’s health, but you also admitted they don’t turn a profit. In that vein, it makes no sense to get the £20 chicken in the first place.

Your utilitarian view is also the opposite of what the person you’re replying to is describing. Do you believe that if one gets a pet cat or dog for free from the street and they get sick, “it makes no sense to get an £X vet bill on a pet which was free”? And if not, what’s the difference? Neither is making you money.

They didn't hire the top talent in datacenter-building, because they had the expectation that they could buy a data center buildout. Sure, they hired top talent from other fields, to work other tasks, but that's unrelated to this.

Anyway, I don't have inside information on this, I'm just reciting what they announced publicly. If you want to argue that they in fact lied in the public announcement, and they secretly hired a bunch of datacenter-building-experts, then it's on you to show some proof for that claim.

Honestly, I think this should have been case. I was expecting it to be a case. It'd sell much more.

The company behind this would never be able to make a better phone than Apple, Samsung, Google. But a specialty case like this should sell much better than a full phone.
There does not exist a system or method to make a signal truly 100% untraceable. What you can do and tor does is severely weakening the odds of the tracing being successful by increasing the amount of work and involved parties thereby improving the odds that the tracing never reaches the actual origin.
Ah, now you see the irony. That's the kind of irony we Malaysians have to live with.
Could does not mean should, though.
> There is no Comgressional mandate for DOGE.

There is. It was given during Obama. You might not like it, but it looks like DOGE is likely to be completely legal and working within the frameworks of the government.
Do you consider the original quotes "unsubstantive", too, seeing how it's flagged yet upvoted? Because like it or not, you have a lot of that on this website, most recently https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=43112777
I can't believe people believe that it's actually an "audit". Both Trump. and Elon are famous liars. The reality is they think they found a loophole to destroy the government without having to pass any laws by fiting as many people as they can and stopping payments randomly. It's all illegal and evil.
What if theyre using their own thing? Like a more secure Signal.
Next DNS is IMO the best solution for phones. It's plug and play and I've never hit the free limit.

For home use I'm currently testing out AdGuard Home as it comes as pre installed with the Flint 2 router. I can't get it to work on my phone so I don't see myself switching away from NextDNS any time soon.
A Chinese APT had unfettered access to the Treasury Department, discovered back in December. It's interesting that people are much more excited about new government employees accessing these systems as part of their duties than they are about this.
I only have experience with Oasis (8th gen) I am afraid.
Didn't know Max Weber was lurking on HN.
What is cheap? But compared to the US, yes. Almost everywhere talent is 'cheap' compared to the US unless they move to the US.
The constitution also explicitly sets up formal departments with specific purviews, with heads that need to be approved by congress. It also outlines that the president has the right to get the opinion of said principal offices about their duties (while seemingly failing to state any right to direct said opinions) This implies that the president’s executive authority over the departments is far from absolute, since if it was, why would you need to explicitly bestow a right to merely seek opinions?

If anything, the constitution implies that department heads SHOULD have independent opinions related to the purview of their departments.

“The President shall be Commander in Chief of the Army and Navy of the United States, and of the Militia of the several States, when called into the actual Service of the United States; he may require the Opinion, in writing, of the principal Officer in each of the executive Departments, upon any Subject relating to the Duties of their respective Offices, and he shall have Power to grant Reprieves and Pardons for Offences against the United States, except in Cases of Impeachment.”
I just wanted to differentiate people in the US from people in Canada, sorry :/
DOGE is an agency, it took over the digital services agency that existed before.[1]. Obama had created the original agency, not Congress, so Trump had the ability to change it.

"The United States Digital Service is hereby publicly renamed as the United States DOGE Service (USDS) and shall be established in the Executive Office of the President."

And I’m not sure why you think a “congressional mandate” is required for the executive to do things, it’s not. Especially for an agency that a former President created on his own.

As for data access, my understanding is the digital services agency already had data access to other agencies through pre-existing agreements (it goes back to the original mandate to fix the Obamacare website which required pulling data from numerous databases).

Don't know, but I read somewhere that the president can't pardon breaks of federal law.
The fact that it crosses departmental boundaries. The fact that the employee has multiple businesses that could benefit from such data.
Obscura also knows what you do, as it is their client you're using. Though, they've plans to address this shortcoming (reproducible builds / open source: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=43019473).
People have called LLMs a "blurry picture of the Internet". Improving the focus won't change the subject of the picture, it just makes it sharper. Every photographer knows this!

A fundamentally new approach is needed, such as training AIs in phases, where instead of merely training them to learn to parrot their inputs, the first AI is used to critique and analyse the inputs, which is then used to train another model in a second pass, which is used to critique the data again, and so on, probably for half a dozen or more iterations. On each round, the model can learn not just what it heard, but also an analysis of the veracity, validity, and consistency.

Notably, something akin to this was done for training Deepseek, but only in a limited fashion.
Craig was completely out of line calling my kids ugly. I am not standing for it and calling it out.
I think this is the way forward, their answer wouldn't turn an offer into a rejection but it would strengthen their offer.

I must admit I also ask this question but have never been told not to and I find that every so often you come across a very senior candidate who nonchalantly says 'yeah, I built a plugin for abc that helps me xyz'. Then you look it up and they've got 500k installs.
So it was all utterly useless? Unless they did something to the app. Anyone in the US redownloaded and saw any differences?
Because I said I couldn’t live in a park or because having a car is to “individualistic”?

Just a quick Google search shows that 88% of households have a car in the EU compared to 95% in the US. The EU is not some great Utopia where no one needs a car.

I've essentially set mine once and never gave it another thought.

I'm curious, do you use your font just in the editor or system wide?
If the former, is the font bothering you in other applications?
No, it isn't similar to Private Relay as its entire premise for 2 hop (versus 3 for Tor) hinges on anonymous authorization (via Privacy Pass) at the exit node.
Some people have read history, and know that words turn into actions over time. Especially those that feed (and feed on) fear and hatred.
that that moron has been tasked with finding inefficiency is so concerning, he is a man so convinced of his own intellectual superiority that he has zero respect for complexity.

We see every day how technically inept and incompetent he is, I just wonder when the other shoe is going to drop for the average observer.

It is the emperor's new clothes writ large, and why I find Bezos's comment about taking him at face value so funny, is he slyly telling us he thinks the guy a fool, a troll, and nothing more?
> Disinformation/chaos by faking important speeches by politicians

I do wonder what the end game here would be. A race to the bottom where any televised speech is brought into question. I wonder if that would destabilize all power bases to the point that people will finally look at the actions of their politicians rather than their words. Wishful thinking perhaps.
But why? You can easily come up with a whole list. I’d ask for a week to perform research on more names I wasn’t aware of. There’s so many bastards in this world I’d specifically choose a less sharp weapon for and skip the can’t protest part. The only thing I’d worry about is getting physically exhausted and mentally unstable after such marathon, but it has to be done.
It actually wasn't even a majority of the popular vote.
Deal breaker for me would be to get interrupted during meetings or even worse when I'm screen sharing.
Tedious choice: do it by yourself or use components libraries
Hello, fellow developers!

I'm currently working on a plain react app that started as a simple prototype and has now evolved into version 2. For this version, I'm using Hero UI (formerly Next UI) as the component library.

I've been wrestling with a question: Is it better and more flexible to build components from scratch (old fashion HTML + CSS + JS), or is it a good trade-off in terms of performance, utility, and adaptability to stick with a component library like Hero UI—especially considering potential future changes in logic and structure (maybe really deep and big)?

I’d love to hear your thoughts and experiences on this!
Things just happened that lead to that optimised state of using one device for alll (The MSI). Nevertheless the main question was about a nice 4k screen. :)
No, I'm not considering speed. I'm considering efficiency. A simple example: I tried to do plastering for a room in my house a few months ago, and as a first-timer, I did a terrible job. There are many things I learned later by hiring a professional plasterer:

- Mix type.

- Mix consistency.

- Mix timing and water amount (which he adjusted as he worked).

- Uneven walls.

These things are based on experience, room type, wall type, wall alignment ... etc. There is no way that a robot will do the same job as a man; it has to be done differently. Using the same space as humans will not make generic robots useful. Your vacuum example is perfect, I have one and had to manually add/remove the water container as the robot will not be able to do that. Even if it does, it has to return to the dock, unload, and start again. A human would remove it at any point and place it somewhere else.
You can do it from anywhere on the Internet, you don't need to control the ISP's network or anything. If your NATing router receives a packet with the dest IP set to a LAN machine, it forwards it to said LAN machine regardless of where that packet came from, unless blocked by a firewall.

Whether or not someone can get that packet to your router in the first place is a separate question. If you're using RFC1918 then yeah, they'd need access to your direct upstream network. But the point I've been trying to make is that NAT doesn't influence the answer to this question: whether or not you do NAT has no influence on the behavior of any of the routers upstream of you.

NAT has no influence on whether these packets can reach your router or not, or on whether your router will forward them if they do arrive. That's why it's not a firewall: because it's not actually doing any firewalling.

> If I had a publically routed /24, then I wouldn't be using NAT in the first place. Which is the case in point: NAT _is_ a firewall.

It's not possible to go from "I wouldn't be using NAT if I had a routed /24" to "NAT's a firewall".

If you had a routed /24 then you might not use NAT, but that says nothing about whether NAT works as a firewall or not. The relevant part isn't "would I still be using NAT if the situation was different?", it's "does NAT block inbound packets?". Since it doesn't, it's not.

> Sigh. I mean allowing the SYN packets to be forwarded from WAN to LAN.

Well, yeah, allowing those is generally a misconfiguration... in the firewall. The routing part of the router doesn't pay any attention to TCP flags, just IP addresses.
What retaliation do you suggest, given that Russia tested isolated internet operations, and clearly demonstrated the state is robust against being cut off?

Remember, this is a nuclear armed state. Plausible deniability had never mattered to them. Sergey Lavrov will contradict himself in one sentence if need demand.

But as long as flags of convenience exist, sufficient unto the day, once, for each ships captain.

To cut one cable by accident would be a misfortune, but to cut two looks like carelessness as Oscar Wilde might say.

(The article talks about plausible deniability at great length. The point is that it suits the western powers not to have to read this as an act of war: they are the ones who need the plausiblility)
The President is the head of the executive branch. If _anyone_ in the executive branch has access to information, it feels like the presidents office should too.

Why is this hard to accept?
You're brainwashed. They're robbing you of essential services and you're still going "yeah, go on!!".

Notice how they only go after things the common man might benefit from? Surprisingly DOGE uncovers no waste whatsoever in the many billion dollars military contracts.

What do you think will happen to your country when the ban on medicaid takes effect? Will the millions that rely on it simply die? Do you even care or are you totally void of empathy?
