I'm still not sure if this is too infomercial for HN ...

Anyway, you can try to check the official post in HN about jobs. They will be posted automatically on Monday. Take a look in case you find something useful and perhaps you can post in the freelance thread if it applies.

You can peek the last month edition in https://news.ycombinator.com/submitted?id=whoishiring but they are read only now.
With all due respect, a compile pipeline across Win, Mac, Linux, for different CPU architectures, making sure signing works for all, and that the Electron auto-updater works as expected is a nightmare. I have been there, and it’s not fun.
Ask HN: How are you improving your use of LLMs in production?
I asked this about two years ago and got some interesting answers: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=36787924

Now that the LLMs space has evolved a ton with better models, lots of tools, and a lot more folks shipping LLMs into production, how are y'all doing this today?
Long list of reasons he is a bad target. A negotiating genius would have known that, which is why even Trump supporters were caught by surprise.

- Only between inauguration and this meeting did Trump even have positive approval. I think it’s uncontentious that Zelenskyy will forever poll higher.

- Around Trump there’s a force field to encourage him that he’s right. The awkward moment Tuesday was when Trump admitted his own numbers on aid given to Ukraine are spongy and faith-based, compared to Macron’s which were turgid, useful, virile, actually bankable.

- Zelenskyy arrived to talk about his thing (being a fighter) and the world saw an ambush by an investment banker and a one-time TV show character. Proving Trump’s at a disadvantage when the other guy is a fighter.

This last one seems the most damaging. Republican politicians had to come out and proclaim Trump is still tough and the biggest problem is that Zelenskyy doesn’t performatively respect that.
How do they ship goods worldwide?
If it's making you salty.... I don't think it's fair to call that a donation.

I unfortunately don't have a better word yet, what's a word for money that's freely given but only with the expectation of some return in exchange?

I'm also disappointed there's no OpenRA2... That was without a doubt my favorite RTS!
A well-placed comment serves as an anchor for the eye when skimming large amounts of code, and provides a sanity check. This is something you would come to appreciate when working in certain environments.

Does this mean every line of code needs an accompanying comment? No, that is absurd. But what's also absurd is the amount of judgement and unwarranted extrapolation over this particular bit of code, and the general defensiveness which most people in this thread seem to be engaging in. I leave comments like this sometimes if I think it helps increase code clarity.
Why do people keep repeating this falsehood? Is it wishful thinking, or a genuine technical misunderstanding, or intentional disinformation?

LLMs absolutely can create novel syntheses. It’s very easy to test this yourself. From creating sentences that do not appear in Google to creating unique story outlines, it’s super easy to prove this wrong.
We're comparing with jet engines, and those fairly well funded aerospace companies weren't in the league to attempt that kind of complexity.
Sure, the military-industrial complex benefits—but the military-industrial complex always benefits. That’s not a justification for continued involvement; it’s just a fact of how defense spending works. If anything, this strengthens my argument; why not prioritize military production and readiness for the Pacific, where our actual strategic interests lie?

As for "field testing," that’s a pretty thin silver lining to justify indefinite support. Wars evolve regardless, and we don't need to offload billions in weapons to foreign conflicts just to learn how modern combat works. If we’re going to spend, let’s spend where it serves America’s direct security, not someone else’s.
Tax revenue as a percentage of GDP historically has floated around 18%

https://www.ceicdata.com/en/indicator/united-states/tax-reve...

Here's the income percentage held by the top 1% 1950-2010

http://piketty.pse.ens.fr/files/capital21c/en/Piketty2014Fig...

While its true that its higher now than it was the 1950s-1980s, its an increase of about 15%.

It if was the case that the very high marginal rates were actually being paid, you would expect the percentage of income held by the top 1% to be much higher.

Here's another source with more direct comparison - how much their income they actually paid in tax

I’ve had similar issues across multiple programming languages. The latest is a C++ program with almost no dependencies. While I’m making changes and frequently recompiling, windows defender will randomly pop-up and let me know that it deleted my freshly-compiled binary. The change will often be something simple, and simply making any change and compiling again will randomly not get flagged.

It’s extremely annoying. It’s my code, stop deleting it. It’s not malware.
Not to mention the CS teachers who have to compete with the students they taught!

_Some_ economists disagree. That's partly because inequality doesn't fit into their models. Gary Stevenson explains this quite well[0]

[0] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CivlU8hJVwc

Also, what those polled disagree with is this particular statement:

> The most powerful force pushing towards greater wealth inequality in the US since the 1970s is the gap between the after-tax return on capital and the economic growth rate.

This doesn't mean they disagree that r>g is a contributing factor to a greater portion of wealth being transferred to those with investment capital (which ultimately can have dire consequences for society). It's not difficult to demonstrate that those with a higher rate of return than the pace at which new wealth is being created (one definition of economic growth) will be capturing a greater share of that new wealth.

That is why I have written the throughput "for results", to clarify the meaning (the throughput for output results is determined by the number of execution units; it does not depend on the number of input operands).

The vector register file has a number of read and write ports, e.g. 10 x 512-bit read ports for recent AMD CPUs (i.e. 10 ports can provide the input operands for 2 x FMA + 2 FADD, when no store instructions are done simultaneously).

So a detailed explanation of the "datapath widths", would have to take into account the number of read and write ports, because some combinations of instructions cannot be executed simultaneously, even when there are available execution units, because the paths between the register file and the execution units are occupied.

Even more complicately, some combinations of instructions that would be prohibited by not having enough register read and write ports, can actually be done simultaneously because there are bypass paths between the execution units that allow the sharing of some input operands or the direct use of output operands as input operands, without passing through the register file.

The structure of the Intel vector execution units, with 3 x 256-bit execution units, 2 of which can do FMA, goes indeed back to Haswell, as you say.

The Lion Cove core launched in 2024 is the first Intel core that uses the enhanced structure used by AMD Zen for many years, with 4 execution units, where 2 can do FMA/FMUL, but all 4 can do FADD.

Starting with the Skylake Server CPUs, the Intel CPUs with AVX-512 support retain the Haswell structure when executing 256-bit or narrower instructions, but when executing 512-bit instructions, 2 x 256-bit execution units are paired to make a 512-bit execution unit, while the third 256-bit execution unit is paired with an otherwise unused 256-bit execution unit to make a second 512-bit execution unit.

Of these 2 x 512-bit execution units, only one can do FMA. Certain Intel SKUs add a second 512-bit FMA unit, so in those both 512-bit execution units can do FMA (this fact is mentioned where applicable in the CPU descriptions from the Intel Ark site).

Can you genuinely not imagine being under the thumb of a dictator who sends you off to die?

Elsewhere in this thread you're responding to me as if you don't even seem to accept that this can occur despite the fact that it already has.
Show HN: Speedvoice – Effortlessly manage invoices, receipts and stats
Hi HN! I’m Abdulah, the founder of Speedvoice. I created this intuitive invoicing tool initially to manage my business billing more effectively and create invoices for my clients that I work with as a freelancer.

Thanks for reading, and I hope Speedvoice brings the same relief to your invoicing tasks as it did for my dad! Looking forward to your thoughts!
Prior generation was buying houses at 20 with less skill.

I'm happy to see that your friend made it work for himself, but his was a much harder path than most people saw in prior generations.
"Hey {user} remember that disease you had a while back with {list of symptoms} did you ever get that checked out"?

"Yeah it was a rare new disease the doctor called it {name of disease}"

But seriously there are real medical sources that are far more valuable than freaking WebMD,
Medical journals (e.g., PubMed, JAMA),
Health agencies (e.g., CDC, WHO),
Books and Textbooks,
User-Generated Content,
Firsthand Expert Input

Medical information isn't exactly a "niche". Most sites rely on community which chatbots could, but probably won't emulate anytime soon, I also really doubt the implication that someones' personal, likely nonmonitized, webpage is going to "go under" because it gets less than some arbitrary view count.

A better question is "When all the governments go under where will chatGPT get it's information"
but how do you identify them?
Are you illiterate? You think that's what "most" meant in context?
> And it is sensitive data - even if it is open.

This is literally contradictory.

Data does not become sensitive because some random on HN says so.
You are speaking with authority but have no idea what you are talking about.
What about family-owned property? Lots of poor people live in multigenerational homes that might be the last step before not owning anything. Also, the fact that the housing market is this bad just means a large portion of the population will be stuck in rental accommodation for the foreseeable future, and that should be accounted for as a form of money transfer somehow.

And for those who will say, "Then the government should just build more houses", let me point out that we might run out of space before the appetite for real estate investment dies out.
A big problem with the framing is that, if you look at the actual studies, what typically happens is that some patients improve significantly on the SSRI being studied, while most others don't get any real effect, not above placebo at least.

What this should tell you is that SSRIs are almost always worth trying, because you might be one of the lucky ones for whom they work great - even if chances are they won't. Psychiatric treatment always works on this basis anyway - try one drug for a few weeks, see how well it does, then decide to either adjust dose, or try something else. Most patients eventually find something that works for them, though a the minority that don't is also large, unfortunately.
I'd say the whole Baroque movement in the 17th century was form over substance too but not necessarily linked to our definition of materialism. At least they knew how to play instruments back then...

I now see that I didn't understood your comment. Yeah, the vinyl form was interesting back then (because it was cheap) but it sounds like shit to me now. But you see this everywhere a company sees a trend and exploit it: anime figures, nostalgia, ... You can't do anything about it anyway, I gave up on that a long time ago. I draw the line where the whole music itself is disconnected from what you are trying to achieve (treating it as fast food, buying manga in Japanese without being able to read Japanese, any kind of collecting that you don't have the skills to experience...)

One last thing though. You can have better music than all the CDs in the world if you are looking for a private or concert experience. It all depends on what you seek. Woodstock guys thought they would change the world (and they did in their own way), and the Beatles got their own spiritual/mystical experience in India (which George Harrison used to add the sitar in some songs).
Maestro is great. However it lacks so many important features you might need

For example, Maestro does not let you to coordinate multiple flow tests together. One test case I had is one phone initiating a call, and another answers it. Instead, Maestro prefers that every flow is self contained and will not run both in parallel reliably

I found many such limitations in its design only after writing a whole lot of their custom flow syntax

I never said that no questions should be asked. And there is indeed a risk to standing up against agression. This is why it is very important to manage escalation risks, and the various American and European administrations so far have taken great care. For example by not supplying strategic weapons, and by disallowing strikes on certain Russian targets.

Also, note that there is also a risk of not standing up to agression. The price of doing nothing is not zero.

All I said was that one should take care not to be instrumentalised by unwittingly propagating false propagandist narratives. I think we can agree on that?
The rational choice would then be to move their economic activity and the jobs involved to another country with lower taxes.
Sticker Shock
Land value tax would be on the land. Property tax includes the buildings, which is naturally the issue. If you want to replace a single family home with a 6-unit structure that each provide as much housing as the original unit, your property tax is going up, providing a corresponding deterrent to anybody doing that until the rent or market price of the building has gone up by the same amount.
"Nobody drives in New York because there's too much traffic."

Building more housing does alleviate the problem. It both alleviates (for the newly housed) and exacerbates (makes more people want to move in). Even if the queue length stayed the same, the fact that the number of housed people goes up means that proportionally, more people are happy.

But, let's be realistic here: Tokyo has more affordable rent than LA, despite having ~4x the population. And Japan invented the concept of the intergenerational mortgage!
That’s not even remotely comparable. The United States and Ukraine are vastly different in terms of military capability, geographic positioning, and strategic importance. Putin annexing a couple of U.S. states is a laughably unrealistic scenario—he can barely hold the territory he's taken from a country bordering his own.

The war in Ukraine is tragic, but it’s not our war. The idea that we must commit endless resources to it just because it’s happening is not a rational foreign policy stance. A stronger America means prioritizing where we spend our strength, not blindly throwing resources at conflicts that don’t directly threaten us.

I imagine it might be actually useful for patients that are anemic with all that extra iron. But it seems from this link that donated blood is processed and separated into standard units so many multiple donor blood is mixed together.

The question is too general. Depends a lot on the kind of surgery you're doing. I guess the answer you're looking for is that anyone could be a surgeon, but not for all kinds of surgery. Also 'basic plumbing' with no room for error is not an easy thing at all.
If my understanding is correct, what's legally protected is reproducing a proprietary IP design rather than studying the design?

If you create a new design that doesn't have the proprietary elements in it that's not grounds for copyright infringement?
You’re right, I mistook the Canadian numbers for all of North America. I know south and Central America had a much higher population but that’s not what this thread is about. It looks like a more accurate number is in the low millions so my point still stands.
101-level models in every field elide important details. That's pretty much their whole point. And it doesn't make them propaganda, it makes them a perfunctory introduction.
AFAIK, high iron in the blood isn't a problem for donatee. I think low iron in donated blood can be a problem, so most blood banks will do a quick screening and will turn donors away if your iron levels are too low.

The reason donations from known hemochromatosis patients have been turned away in the past was because of ethics. Blood and other medical donations are supposed to be of free will with no benefit for the donor. If you didn't know you had hemovhromatosis and gave blood regularly, you might never find out, and that would be fine. But once you know that giving blood helps you out, it's no longer of free will with no benefit for you.

Not all organizations have held this strict interpretation, and more and more blood organizations are accepting donations from people with this condition over time as generally they all would like more donations.
I am not American, so I could be wrong, but is San Francisco a good example of a city with low inequality? My understanding is that the opposite is true.

To me there is nothing cooler than a huge reel to reel when it comes to different formats. If I had some free time and space for it I would definitely want to buy one of the giant consoles and then hook up a write head right before the read head so that it can play off any digital source like Spotify but still do it with the huge reels and everything.
Dynamic range compression is not "required", it's a choice of the mastering engineer. You can produce MP3 or CD recordings with higher dynamic range than vinyl if you want to.
It seems like a hypothesis that is also verifiable ("... on average").

I think everything is marked by law, pretty much throughout Europe, but there should be a standardized 2 letter code logo. It can be tiresome to separate Spanish almonds, fruit and vegetables from things that traveled farther distances than necessary or are likely to be flavorless and from a green house.

We've had terrible times without completely failing before but I agree with some of your sentiment. That isn't much solace at all but maybe it won't be the end of the entire experiment?

The extreme wealth gap and corruption paired with the loss of virtue (integrity seems to hold very little social value these days) seems like a bad mix to me if you like stability, let alone shared prosperity. Moreover, the response to the United healthcare assassination showed us that a bunch of folks don't think there is justice left in the system. The reactions to covid were a stark example of how a huge swath of people not only won't lift a finger to help their fellow citizens but will actively oppose it and be offended by the suggestion itself. This year the purges of non-straights or non-whites from all positions (and even from some records!) began and we don't yet know where that will end. Politically we've spent this year alienating our allies and generally acting like bullies.

I'm worried we'll be in a war in 3.5 years (real or manufactured) and "need" to delay the next election for a while, "in the name of national security".
I saw an estimate a while ago that cassettes have like 3-5 bit depth equivalent on average.
In your strategic business plan, by IFRS accounting standards (existing and developing).

You have several options, account for it as lumber (but... well), or as a carbon sequestration well (so you could get carbon credits, IAS 38), or as an ecosystem providing services (several frameworks under work here), or as a contingent liability or asset (IAS 37, can be in the balance sheet if the probability of event/impact is high/certain).

Even if you forget to account for it, your insurance likely will remind you about it.
you could create an exception: if you have <= $1M in unrealized capital gains, those assets are not subject to unrealized gains tax.
I see a bunch of people saying that Firefox "needs to make money" or something to that effect, like they've never heard of free software.

When Flash was killed, enthusiasts re-implemented it entirely from scratch. I'm sure if Mozilla exploded today people would take the source code and continue maintaining Firefox. I'm aware maintaining a browser is complicated, but maintaining an operating system is even more-so, and that never stopped GNU.
This appears to be an observational result, so I'm genuinely perplexed by the reception here. I genuinely thought this comment shows a healthy amount of curiosity and asking important questions. Asking "what control group did this study use?" is usually well-received here.
Okay but I think we’ve lost the thread of the argument.

I am arguing against the claim
"Housing can be affordable or it can be a good investment. Not both."

You support this claim with the argument that “If something goes up more than inflation - it is a good investment” and therefore it can’t be affordable.

I am saying real estate can be a good investment even if it doesn’t go up more than inflation. Do you disagree?

Further, for landlords to make homes available to rent, housing must be a good investment. Do you disagree?
