This is interestingly relevant to me right now as I just fractured my shoulder this weekend. Urgent care gave me a sling despite the chip being small, though everything I'm reading online is saying to use it and to not take pain killers to let my body do the healing naturally. Talking to my primary care now to see what the recommendation is.
In which case you would be living it up in Monaco instead of asking about jobs.
Same here with 12 mini. Honestly even this feels larger than needed, but any bigger? Ridiculous.
You can do it cheaper, but it's work. I kept a few chickens for years, and it takes time to clean out the coop, to move the run when they've scratched up the grass. You've gotta be there in the morning to let them out, and in the evening to close them in. The eggs you get from them are much yellower, which is nice and probably better for you, but is it worth it? After 15 years I decided "not anymore"

My Dad says "a hen always dies in debt"
We have raised a few hens at our hobby farm over the years. The eggs are nice and all, but they're actually quite fragile animals, and then you go and get attached to them and they get suddenly sick and slowly die on you in horrible ways. And veterinary care for backyard chickens is seriously problematic and difficult to get and expensive.

My wife fell seriously in love with keeping chickens and it kind of emotionally broke her. Always tried so hard to do things right, and something has always gone wrong.

I wouldn't advise it, personally, to most people.

Ducks are apparently a bit more resilient though. And duck eggs are great.

hell, when I joined the frontend circus in 2013 I was flabbergasted that most people needed to install 3rd party library to perform "isEven(num)" operation

... not to mention that aforementioned library had at least 3 dependencies itself.
It is probably reproducible, if you have the requisite million cores. That isn't even difficult today - a million cores is about 100 GPUs.
Literally just replaced the flimsy clip-on vent mount charger in my car with a ProClip custom fit mount and a Qi2 charger that ran me ~$115 all-in. I wanted longevity with this solution.

I don't think he says it's not noticeable but that it doesn't matter.
I'm in the same boat; I can notice it but it doesn't make much difference for my phone use case so it's largely irrelevant.
It really depends on what you are doing with your phone.

In my point of view, the bummer is non LTPO display, preventing going down to 1hz which can save some battery if you use your phone for reading.
My kids have never seen a landline and probably have no idea what it is
I guess next week they're going to get to the interesting bit which is how weird the architecture actually was on that thing...

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TI-99/4A

Particularly it only had 256 bytes of RAM attached to the CPU but had (I think) 16 kb of RAM attached to the video controller which the CPU could read and write through I/O registers. You could use this for non-video storage but you couldn't access it directly.

Coding in BASIC could, at the very least, hide the insanity from you.
The person I responded to stated: "AMD server processors are so big these days that you could spend a quarter of your compute on QUIC without blinking an eye". I was pointing out that seems ridiculous since even minor performance improvements would be valuable if you were, in fact, burning 25% of your compute. Even just restricting that to Youtube video delivery would be significant.

I am aware of the performance characteristics demanded by 100 Gbps. That is why I said possible, not "trivial". I am also talking about the protocol implementation itself, not the entire network stack. I doubt ~7 Gbps per core is hitting their UDP stack bottlenecks, so I doubt that is what is actually limiting their performance. And if they were hitting syscall or OS network stack limits, then this entire line of questioning is easily answered by saying that. But then I would wonder why their network stacks are so slow since UDP handling is even more trivial than managing the QUIC data plane, so should not constitute a bottleneck in any sanely designed full stack.

It is a performance disparity if people complain about "copies" and push for zero-copy over 1-copy transport stacks when you can do a full payload copy at a 7% overhead. Copies are basically irrelevant at that protocol overhead. I also happen to have enough technical ability to evaluate a problem and observe that the implementations seem to fall extremely short of what seems should be possible and can ask for technical clarification on what the practical limitations are.

But sure, I do not have a full implementation at the speeds I theorize should be possible. I only have a data plane implementation that I consider a toy going at ~5 Gbps with all optimizations turned off and having done zero of the planned performance work. I would frankly be shocked if I can not get a 4-6x improvement, but that is, still, only speculative so maybe it will happen.
Yeah, I see where you're coming from. For my part, I'm very wary of accelerationist tendencies and there are hints of that in the two cases I noted. Only hints, though, neither of those guys made a point of leaving full-on manifestos. (Livelsberger came kind of close with his letter talking about how he needed the country to wake up: "This was not a terrorist attack, it was a wake up call. Americans only pay attention to spectacles and violence. What better way to get my point across than a stunt with fireworks and explosives?")
> I guess if someone comes up and shows these same discrepancies everywhere where a particular manufacturer had a footprint, I'd probably be more on board with screaming election interference.

The fact this anomaly only happens in swing states under commonly identified conditions for foreign elections with widely accepted interference isn't suspicious enough? You can recreate the Russian tail yourself with the available data. A commenter in the HN thread I linked even posts the code to do so.

I feel like suspicious voting patterns should be investigated, not that I have any belief that will happen. We already have proof of a consistent statistical anomaly.
LOL massive sweeping generalisation there. I’m European and have worked all kinds of overtime, sometimes willingly, sometimes coerced. You are aware “Europe” isn’t some monogamous state right?
"That’s an unprecedented situation."

It's simply untrue is what it is. EOs are subject to judicial review and are only valid if there's a congressional or constitutional basis. You can't grant yourself extra powers outside of the existing framework, which the EO doesn't even claim to do. Again, other EOs don't have the framework enumerated in them and have been found to be invalid. There's plenty of case law one can look at.

Standardized plus the ability for companies to do their own test after they pass the standard one. So go get prescreened at test center then use that test to apply for jobs. Company either flys you in for in-person or sends you back to test center to do live remote interview in controlled environment.
Yeah, don't be so hard on Musk and Trump. They're destroying oversight agency by agency, not all at once. Starting with the agency in charge of HR oversight.
Is there any reason I shouldn’t let my half-dozen birds get it and die or survive, see if any develop immunity and work from there?
This must be based on company. At my previous position I worked with MANY Europeans (mainly Munich and London, but also Poland and France) and they all worked late hours to overlap US tzs. I was always so impressed by how little they complained about doing so.
That's insightful. Keep up the good work!
From the video it seems the dashboard is hosted on sibtrace.dev. Is my data being sent there? That's an absolute no-go for me.
No they fucking aren’t doing the job of people.

Go ahead and produce any close analysis and comprehensive study of what the LLMs are actually doing. I’ll show you how that study is either systematically ignoring key aspects of the work or or ignoring reliability or ignoring generalizability or glossing over important failures.

People are making excuses for the bad work of LLMs, because they are excited, in love, and smell money.
hahaha, thank you, I needed a laugh :)
Care to elaborate? I’ve never used it but have heard good things from colleagues who have.

>Strict reading of the Constitution, nothing. Our government was not set up to be efficient, more the opposite.

Thankfully, 200 years of judicial interpretation and precedent disagree with this conclusion.

And of course, America's job is not to move fast and break things. it's to be as safe and stable as possible.

>this is congress making rules that the executive must do something, which again is not clear they have the authority to do

yup, like I said. Precedent on this has been proven wrong every time. That's exactly what the judicial branch should be doing.
So what mechanism do you have set up to reply 4 minutes after being mentioned? :)
Not sure about the other FAANs, but at G, the era of almost automatically supported relocations are over. Even intra-country relocations are subject to heavy scrutiny.

It might be different if you have some very special skillset or are ultra high level, but it will be difficult for a run of the mill senior swe to do.
If you are working at bigco and want to transfer to EU:

* You persuade your manager that this is okay and name the country.

* BigCo Inc. terminates you and BigCo Lda. or Srl. or whatever there subsidiary in that country makes you an offer letter.

* Your base salary in the new offer is 1/3 less, because "the cost of living" is less. If you ask them if you should do 1/3rd less work, they give you a puzzled look. If you ask them if they discount their prices to customers in low COL countries, they will get mad.

* The non-cash part of your compensation (stock, etc.) should not get impacted much, except that when you get taxed you'll pay more tax. Money isn't everything and you're obviously contemplating this move for other reasons.

* You will accept the offer and follow the immigration procedure of your new country. BigCo will have immigration lawyers they retain to ensure they can hire the candidates they desire, for example you.

* You will chill for a little time, maybe a month, while the immigration process goes through.

* Congratulations, you now have a work visa, benefits, and all the privileges that being a legal employee in that country confer upon you.

Slightly worse are arrangements in which you work through a subcontracting company, don't get benefits, and/or have to fight for the visa yourself.

The other ideas you are contemplating probably don't work, and if you don't understand why you should ask a chatbot not HN.
>> no one is willing to work more than their contract states

I mean that's a crazy oversimplification. I work at a British company where we work with Americans a lot and it's not uncommon for people to work late at night just to stay in contact(even I did some work at 11pm last night to speak with someone).

>>People don’t work outside of their work hours in Europe

I'm curious how many people from Europe have you actually met. Working outside of your hours "just to finish that one spreadsheet that the boss is prodding me for" is extremely common everywhere.
People flagging whitehouse post apparently do not respect US president.

You Always Sit in the Back – and What It Says About You
I’ve personally struggled with this myself throughout years of being a software engineer - it was never just about where I sat, but what it revealed about my own beliefs. Hopefully, this article gives some perspective if improving soft skills is something you’re working on.
If you're using a credit card for its benefits (like buyer protection, which I have several times over the years) and have the money to pay it off immediately, it's not pointless debt, but a net benefit to the purchaser.

The letter from Farm Action, linked at the top of the article, is pretty compelling in making their case.

A few highlights:

> As a result of the smaller flock, egg production has dropped slightly from 8.1 billion eggs per month in 2021 to 7.75 billion eggs per month in December 2024. Importantly, however, per capita production of eggs in the U.S. has not dipped below per capita consumption of eggs in any year between 2022 and the present. Meanwhile, the total value of egg production has risen significantly, from $8.8 billion in 2021 to $19.4 billion in 2022 and $17.9 billion in 2023.

Note the $17.9B 2023 figure obviously doesn't include the most recent price increases.

> Instead of using the windfall profits they are earning from record egg prices to rebuild or expand their egg-laying flocks, the largest egg producers are using them to buy up smaller rivals and further consolidate market power.

> Almost all shell eggs are marketed through contracts between producer firms and chain buyers where egg prices are based on weekly wholesale quotes published by Urner Barry, an industry consulting and data analytics firm. According to leading industry commentator Simon M. Shane, this convergence "on a single commercial price discovery system constitutes an impediment to a free market," with the benchmark prices released by Urner Barry potentially serving to amplify price swings led by the largest-volume producers and to prevent independent, competitive decision making by others.
just yesterday a friend messaged me that their cutting edge cloud systems based on kubernetes and latests achievements in microservice architecture will have... 2 days maintenance downtime.
In the 90's my grandma had her knee replaced. She was bed-bound for 2 weeks before they'd start physical therapy to get her knees back in order. (Ironically enough, her first knee was recalled...so she had a total of three knee surgeries Left, Right, then Left again) over a span of 11 years.

In 2018, my mom had her left knee and right knee done at the same time...and they had her up walking the halls of the floor the next day and was back at home less than 72 hours after her surgery, and she's walking just fine these days without any assistance.
My understanding is that transit/peering in Southeast Asia is pretty awful in general, and that's why a lot of CDNs and service providers charge you extra for traffic exiting in that region. I'm not sure how much of that is a lack of investment in infrastructure and how much is unresolved corporate / geopolitical tensions - but either way, building more data centers isn't going to fix it.
At the start of the invasion in Ukraine it was possible for a while to listen to unencrypted radio comms from Russian convoys, hosted online live.
Depends where you go in Europe, but my strong impression is that the relative cost of living is very significantly lower than FAANG-like equivalent locations in the US (SF, Seattle, NY, etc).

Remote for the US is definitely still the best way to get the benefit of the difference though, and even with a lower paying US role in return that could be worthwhile.

Remote work visas for Spain and I think Portugal are designed for exactly that case and should fit the bill nicely if you have remote work. Alternatively if you can't get any, it gets significantly more complicated - finding a well-off-relative-to-local-cost-of-living local software job is quite possible in many many major EU cities, but will take time and require some adjustment en route (to local norms, paperwork, and languages) so the visa situation can be challenging. Doable but requires research and work.
I live in the Netherlands. With 11ye 100-120k is doable BUT the job market here is a bit shaky right now, it’s not the most amazing time to look for a job.

My wife owns a small recruitment company and they help with visas and relocations here. Let me know if you’d like to get in touch.
My counter anecdote I fractured a bone in my leg. Kept walking on it for a year. Only healed when I finally got in a boot.
This is the “move the factories to third world countries so that we can have cleaner air and water while consuming endlessly, pretending the consumption doesn’t come with problems or that the third world countries are the problem” equivalent of data centers.
Your interpretation at this point makes no sense unless you really believe that somehow the Founding Fathers (after overthrowing a king) wanted to low key-install a king anyway. Even then, these are overly cynical interpretations with no real basis to back them up outside of nitpicking singular words from centuries ago.

We did a horrible job interpreting that for 250 years if true.
Ethical reasons should prevent you from intentionally infecting them.
One thing I'm interested in that they didn't cover in school, if there's 3 branches of government, then what branch were the independent agencies a part of before being moved into the executive?

Yes, the expanse of power is concerning. Historically, all three branches have substantially expanded their powers since inception. People in power always seem to take more of it.
In the west part of the Europe, mostly around Benelux region you can safely land contractor job's with pay around 500€/700€ daily. In UK it's usually more.
If I do the math for the higher end for lets say Netherlands, its numOfWorkingDays(255) * mdRate(700 = 178 500 € per year. Although I have no idea about their taxes.

Do not forget that the medical bills are for you as an American ridiculously low and you can live without car without any complications. Furthermore east are lower salaries but you cant land 70-80k contracting jobs with sometimes very little taxation.
You mean monolithic.
Well, at least the answer to the question "what weapons WW3 will be fought with" is "asteroids" that's a fun surprise.

I guess we'll see if Sticks are still a thing we can fight with for WW4, but stones was definitely a solid prediction.
Sounds reasonable, but why can't we just compare it, the mAh of this phone's battery is a secret or something?
Interesting. Maybe something in my configuration is affecting it. I’ll have to look into it
Besides the platform it was posted on being owned by the leader of DOGE?
> EOs are subject to judicial review and are only valid if there's a congressional or constitutional basis

This is just nonsense.

Trump, for example, recently signed an EO to end the use of paper straws.

Where is your justification that there is a valid congressional or constitutional basis for this ? Of course there isn’t. Executive Orders allow the President to interpret existing laws as they see fit. Even in ways they were never intended to be interpreted.
If you just read my comment and arrived at the conclusion that private compute is the solution, you misunderstand the issue at hand.

Networking compute isn't an issue. Compute architecture is.
> It sounds good but in reality people end up spending time messing around with config files and annotations.

I use Spring Boot at my day job and write mostly web services. I don't spend time messing around with config files and annotations. When I create a service class, I annotate it with @Service, and that is mostly what I need.

Example:

@Service
public record ItemsService(ItemsRepository repo) {

public void doStuff(String country) {
var items = repo.findByCountry(country);
// do stuff with items

}
}

Later versions of Spring Boot has reduced a lot of the annotations necessary, like @Inject if you use constructors etc. There are of course other annotations and configurations, but 90% of what I do is similar to the example I gave above. Things may have changed since last you used it, but the amount of "magic" and annotations is often much less than what is posted in these types of discussions.
> indicated a willingness

It's not even hypothetical, they've already refused to follow court decisions. For example, when Trump seized funds already allocated by Congress, and ignored a court-order declaring it was unlawful.

>> Hydrogen has its place in our energy economy

> It certainly does not! (At least, not in any meaningful sense).

I was speaking to the use of hydrogen for ammonia production. When we experience grid imbalances from when there's too much solar or wind energy for the grid to absorb it would be nice to put it to use in that regard rather than dumping it.

I understand and do not contest the problems that working with hydrogen creates, it makes a lousy option for a battery.
The final round of beta-testing has been assigned to Apple's economy-class customers.
We have 10 (backyard) chickens and spend about $40/mo in feed. We average about five eggs per day when they are laying, so let's say that's 150 eggs per month. That's $0.26/egg or $3.20 a dozen.

But we have to factor in around 4 months of them not laying during the winter. So for laying months, that brings the feed price to around $60/mo or $4.80 a dozen.

So yeah, at current prices, it's worth it for us. I also haven't factored in the value of their compost, which is really quite expensive when you're buying as much as they generate, so it's probably even cheaper than listed.
Exactly, the one area where he would lose the crowd is if he goes against the conservative "christians". ie: if he openly embraces LGBTQ, fully supports abortion rights, taxes churches etc. Only then would these people revolt.
> The US competitive on civilian vehicles??

Yes, the US is still the second largest producer of civilian vehicles, although I admit, I didn't realize how far ahead China already was:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_motor_veh...

> The US economy "floating on military strength"??

Yes, it's our military strength that makes investors trust our currency and allows us to maintain the world's largest trade deficit. Not just our own, but the weapons we provide to friendly governments (mostly dictators) around the world.

The rest? You're just ignoring the possibility of either sanctions being imposed on us (cutting off the free trade which, I agree, increases standard of living while it lasts) or fighting a major war (in WW2 the entire civilian production capacity was redirected to the military, a limited "strategic capability" will not be sufficient).

In fact, even the recent (very limited) war in Ukraine was more than our current production capacity for ammo could handle.
I'm Malaysian, and in tech (though I've left the country), and this is all accurate.

It's super weird seeing my country make headlines, but only in a way where I don't recognize the place they're talking about at all.
Kind of off topic, but instead of culling flocks infected with the flu, are there any farmers just seeing which chickens survive and then letting them breed?
