OP was parodying JD Vance 's comments from last week.
This is such a stupid and myopic view. It honestly is pathetic
They want to replace a significant portion of US federal employees with AI, and THIS is the level of precision they have to manage their perceived issues with the quality of their own AI output. It does not bode well.

Any other devs or designers with clinical OCD?
Apologies in advance if this is the wrong place, but I’m at my wit’s end with this.

Solo founding an OCD therapy app (with traction & enough funding to seedstrap). Background is in growth, but self-taught in design and development. Product design is by far my weakest skill, brain just doesn’t click in that way. I’ve gotten away with it so far since I’ve had severe OCD myself for 10 years, so I know how my user thinks.

But I’m at the point now where I really need to bring on either a designer. But, I cannot, for the life of me, find a product designer who understands OCD at the level I need them to. I’m starting to think that OCD is too niche of a design specialty.

Are digital mental health product designers a thing, or is it still too new of a field? Do I need to find a designer that suffers from OCD, or is it reasonable for a good designer to learn how OCD treatment and symptoms manifest (which most OCD therapists don't know well themselves) on the job? The same problem applies with finding a developer too, although to a less extent - they just need to be passionate about OCD.

Any advice or thoughts would be appreciated on how I should go about this as this is main priority now.
Why I think AI take-off is relatively slow
Oh you mean like if the battery runs out? I just make sure it never does. I thought they meant like if I lose my phone, but in that case I could just go home and grab my card and pay with my card.
Scaleway at least is genuinely not a bad alternative for this kind of thing already today - they do have plenty of managed services like serverless functions, object storage, queues, etc, in addition to the simple VMs and container hosting.

Countless amounts of money has been lost off-exchange. The entire reason people use exchanges is because holding your own crypto is laughably hard.

Forgot your password? All your money is gone. Hard drive crashed and no backups? All your money is gone. Accidentally installed malware? All your money is gone. Spouse or parent with all the coins died? All the money is gone. Fat-finger a value in a transaction? Lots of your money is gone.

Yes there are “solutions” to all of these problems. All of them are Rube Goldberg contraptions themselves and have their own failure modes.

Few of my clients have been very nervous about this, and I know we're trying to ditch several US offerings with alternatives.

Microsoft is one of the hardest to get rid off, as it traverse the business from teams to SharePoint to azure dev ops and GitHub.

But when it comes to running systems themselves, there's valid European alternatives.
I mean, NOLF was way ahead of its time. A parody that also was a really good game. Like, a parody that was not sarcastic or ironic. It is hard to describe.
As someone who has (reluctantly) been advocating and pushing our org to move stuff over to Azure, this is going to get interesting as tomorrow I'll start pushing the cart to the other direction. I never wanted to go to the cloud a a goal itself, but wished for a more modern infra to improve processes and security, which we surely now can achieve onprem as well.

Luckily there's always been scepticism and challenges with tightening data security regulations, so maybe people will mostly be relieved if we need to turn around on this.

Anyway, it will surely be an interesting discussion on Monday...
You mean like the orange jacket protests, or the annual burning of cars festivals?

I think you need to lookup the definition of the word hypothetical. The point of the exercise is to imagine a scenario where the players are reversed to imagine how they would react.
But growing rapidly. Most Rust jobs are still "invisible" in that they were C++ jobs that have turned into Rust jobs without hiring anyone.

I've had one contact from a recruiter saying they were looking for C++/Rust devs.

Obviously you won't find many on Indeed or whatever, since companies that advertise there are not really on the cutting edge or anywhere close.

This reads like part of a PR campaign by some college-related interest group to try to influence public opinion. Prices have been and continue to rise. They say the prices stopped rising because inflation (meaning prices continue to rise but if you take inflation into account they do not), but I have not seen the numbers. There's like gazillion ways to measure inflation, if you use the one where it's 20% a year that might be true, but it's just a cop-out.

Also, maybe less people go into prestigious and expensive unis and go into less expensive ones, which brings the average down?

I look into the colleges for my kids right now and honestly unclear how I can afford putting 2 kids through reasonably good schools. Govt tells me I should be able to afford to pay about $80K per year for 4 years, and I do not see how I can do that without getting HELOC/second mortgage and tapping into my retirement savings. I just do not see how these prices are reasonable or go down.
Yes, they will pee anywhere because their whole lives they’ve been covered in a soft diaper. But it doesn’t take long for them to learn that is an uncomfortable feeling in normal underwear and there’s an incentive to use the toilet.
IIRC, Facebook don't (or didn't) do rollbacks. They always fix forward. I guess hours long incidents like this are the other edge of that double edged sword.
Modding was amazing back then. I wasn’t a modder myself, but it felt like something new and crazy was happening every week. The excitement for every beta release of Counter-Strike. The buzz around newcomers like Action HL, The Specialists, and PVK. Experiments like Science & Industry that didn’t last long but were a fun romp nonetheless. Endless rounds of TFC and DoD. And there were always populated community servers for any mod you plucked fom Fileplanet.

We’ve lost something along the way.

The PIN thing can be done online at both of my banks.

As for the cash stuff, those are things you may need to do if you’re a shopkeeper, but I can’t imagine a reason why I would do that myself. Banks over here will sometimes charge fees for changing cash.
So, you’re hoping for more US backed genocide and ethnic cleansing campaigns, and less defending third parties when dictators decide to invade them?

Earthenware and unfired pottery degrade extremely quickly once water can get to the actual material. Porcelain can last longer, but it's not nearly as durable in the ground as stone or even metal. I'd expect granite countertops and metal tools to be more commonly found by future archaeologists.
Exactly this IMO. Federal government is way too big. I would be more sympathetic if we moved most of these concerns to a more local level of government. Trying to have a one-size-fits-all approach for the whole country is what causes so much polarization. Let the ideas be run as experiments more locally, so that people can more easily vote with their feet and wallets. I have never actually gotten a chance to vote how my tax dollars are used.
It's only a deadline for feedback because after you do it, obviously, feedback can no longer be provided. Timeframe might be less aggressive than deadline.
Landing a Model Rocket Like SpaceX [video]
I'm no physicist, but if I remember correctly, light is some form of electromagnetic radiation, which means EMR travels at speed of light. In that case, it's not surprising that an electrostatic field can travel at similar speed.

From my understanding the quote is talking about electrostatic effects that occur when electrons move to fill a void/go away from a negatively charged area. Since the force that makes electrons repeal each other is very weak, I think it makes sense. But note that it mention "a single electron." Voltage deals with a difference in immense scales of electrons, so I assume the effect and speed would be different in practical cases.

You assume because I answered you that I'm passively accepting what is going on? I don't understand your train of thought.
As it stands, humans can only get captchas correct 50 to 84 percent of the time, whereas bots have a 99.8 percent accuracy. (https://www.pcmag.com/news/bots-better-at-solving-captchas-t...) The better bots get, the wider that divide will be.

If it catches on that we're using captchas backward, and multiple web sites switch to checking for a failure instead of a pass, then nefarious actors might start implementing bots that purposely fail captchas. At that point you'd have to come up with a new strategy, but there's so much institutional momentum behind their current usages strategy that that's not likely to change any time soon.
Other developed countries are less comfortable because all the major cloud providers are US-owned companies and the NSA has a very, very long history of using US companies as information security weapons.

I come to HN to satisfy my long standing curiosity and interest in current events. My mental wellness has been trending down this past month due to news feeds, headlines and comment sections. Attempting to counter this trend I’ve blocked news aggregators at my hosts file (habitual opening news sites mindlessly) and disabled all the current event widgets built into Windows 11 that show up on new tabs, system tray and start menu. It was a good week after that. But that leaves little to check online. Seems the news even makes it here. So much politics this month. I understand why, but this EV thing is just… I know the goal is to appease the populist movement to make me cry liberal tears, and defeat any progressive agendas, and hats off to them they are succeeding! Not sure what to do next. EVs and green infrastructure make so much sense to me long term and short term and the rest of the world seems to be getting it.
Unless you're trying to work for a very specific Google team, probably. Not that I subscribe to the idea that engineers can't learn the tools on the job as long as they have fundamentals, but this market is so rough as is.

It used to be actual FOSS but then they went down the route of making it nonfree.

I sort of get why, but not really a fan of how they went about doing it (and arbitrary "revenue-based" thresholds really don't work for businesses that operate on a commission/agent basis - you can have a massive turnover but huge cost-of-sales - it's a very blunt instrument). For that reason I've kept self-hosting the older, actual-FOSS versions and they're just sat behind auth. I've not looked at alternatives yet but would be interested in any suggestions

I used to have a few Youtube channels bookmarked. Now (years later) if I'm bored I mostly go to their homepage, and it has a reasonable selection of things that I did bookmark or would have bookmarked if I'd known about them. The loss of control is still concerning.
No, but the careers and reputation of those who lead this avenue and undermined good science must be conclusively ruined.

We can start by letting the truth come light in stark and unambiguous terms again and again, along with the billions of dollars in damage and hundreds of thousands if not millions of families left to suffer thanks to prestige and fraud.

Better yet, also reward the risk takers then and now; trying to chase good science as hazardous as it was.

For me, it was introductory quantum mechanics (QM) books, you can go with MIT online course from Barton Zwiebach and online course from BLIS (This is for Rust/C implementation of BLAS). If you fall in love with QM and go for more rigorous formulation of its mathematical structure, you can follow it up with An Introduction to Hilbert Space by N. Young, which was the book used in my next semester for Hilbert Space Course.

Hilbert Space is the mathematical framework to describe QM systems.
Might be a good idea to spend a couple of million by setting up a small office of 10 people to work on it in the coming years.
It depends how deep you go. I mean it's the force between charged particles and their movements but if you go too deep into how did the laws of physics get there and what are electrons made of you get stuck.

America's pathetically low Federal minumim wage is $7.25/hr. $1160/month before taxes.

The problem with busy tech whatevers is they will quite often not reply nor give a reasonable timeliness on which something can be done.

This method forces them to lay out the timeline they can adhere to, and it works as a CYA as it shows you/your group is ready to act and is being blocked by others.

It's up to upper management at that point to deconflict blockers.
> all the electrons in the entire material basically form one giant condensate

Very not my field, but perhaps that's "all the paired electrons"? Brief ai-ing (do we have a verb yet?) suggests only some small fraction of conduction electrons form pairs, let alone all the rest.
Quality of error messages is a really interesting quality metric. At the far worst end of the spectrum I nominate the latex compiler. "Missing $ inserted" anyone? What's the other extreme?
The mythology in Silicon Valley is interesting, on the one had I do think that Elon Musk is a once in a generation entrepreneur who’s built these amazing companies (even if he’s a bit over his skis at the moment)

But I don’t believe the crafted narrative that Elon Musk is some super engineer sleeping on the floors of the factory, pushing things through with unique engineering insights, I think most of the job of a CEO is political, and I acknowledge how important that contribution is (probably plenty of political work to do from the floor of the warehouse)

But it is interesting how carefully people like Musk, Jobs and Dorsey curate their images to make you think their contributions are more practical and less political.

And I believe that even though everyone is transparently aware of this, if the illusion were to drop on one of these CEO’s it would probably tangibly impact their careers.

Like there’s more power in everyone maintaining a false mythology than just acknowledging the true contribution of a CEO.
Boeing moved their headquarters from Seattle to Chicago to DC. The American management class doesn't care about anything other the extracting money this quarter. Who needs to manage the widget making operation that's for 'someone else' to take care of.

I've been interviewing candidates using questions targeted at getting them to talk about experience instead of skill. Like asking about their involvement during production incidents, then drill down to see if there's anything interesting to focus on. Can probably also be gamed by AI but people are usually surprised about my approach and they often provide good feedback after the call, even if I have to decline their application so I guess it works somewhat well for both since it doesn't force anyone to just recite the same phrases.

>The more icons we have to scan over, the more brain power we put toward making sense of them rather than using the tools they represent

While we're talking about brains, it's my personal theory that the monochrome icons like those in the screenshots are the bane of all GUI design. Humans were born with the ability to see all colors (that humans can see). Limiting icons to a single color effectively restricts the ability of the icon to convey visual information. If each icon was a distinctive color, we wouldn't even need to look at their shape.
Scientists like Sylvain Lesné whose alleged misconduct cost us over a decade investigating a dead end hypothesis should face substantial prison time.
