Hello!

I'm JD, a Software Engineer with experience touching many parts of the stack (frontend, backend, databases, data & ETL pipelines, you name it). Most recently, I spent several years at Google working full-stack on applications that supported our customer service teams. I then switched to working on facilitating our internal teams through frameworks, teaching, and helping them in launching applications. Prior to that, I spent a couple years at First Orion - a smaller data company - helping found & build out a data engineering team as one of the first engineers. We were focused on building data pipelines and models to protect our users from malicious phonecalls. If you know the phrase "Scam Likely", we were a pioneer :)

There is a noticeable gap in my resume where I was dealing with health issues from 2022 - 2024, but am ready to rejoin the industry. I'm passionate about helping others, teaching, and building tools to improve the experience for developers and other end users.

A New AI Worry: Many Young Coders No Longer Know How Their Code Works
> we're still waiting for even one system to produce the promised advantages

To be clear, successful JIT do runtime profiling+optimization, at significant benefit.

But on net, JIT languages are slower.

It is a valid question to ask whether AOT binaries can selectively use runtime optimizations, making them even faster.
But then there isn't a duality.

If your language is static enough, then static devirt is profitable enough that you can stop there.

If your language is dynamic enough, then PICs are the main driver of devirt. (Though all PIC-based systems couple that with static analysis and that static analysis is powerful enough that it can sometimes devirt without the PICs' help.)

Your argument is “if cartels are magically not a problem, then they’re not a problem and then this is useless?”

I don’t think I understand your comment.
It depends on how long the time you spend in your c function is. cgo has a substantial overhead for calling. I tend to prefer just writing ASM functions for critical path code. You can use libraries like https://github.com/mmcloughlin/avo to make it easier to write/maintain.
Maybe I am doing something wrong but when I fill in a concrete value for `aOrB` I still get a type error in that example code:

Playground Link: https://www.typescriptlang.org/play/?#code/C4TwDgpgBAglC8UDe...

I tried with 5.8.2 and nightly and the results were the same.

Interestingly, the playground reports aOrB(from github comment with concrete value) and aOrB2(modified) as the same type, `A | B`, but aOrB will give an error in the typeguarded if block but aOrB2 does not trigger an error. I do not know what is going on there either they do not really have the same type despite the playground reporting both as `A | B` or there is different bug going on.

So the solution presented in github does not look like a full solution as is.
at this point is there any reason to use xb360 hardware? emulation on modern hardware has gotta be substantially better
> Rule of thumb: it always, always goes back to class. No war but class war is a cliche for good reason.

If its politically convinent to view things in terms of class then of course everything gets traced back to class. But i think that is more about trying to fit every peg into a round hole no matter how square it is. As the cliche goes, if all you have is a hammer.

> That may be kinda true, but most Americans actually want it [0]

I dont think the poll supports your contention. Only 57% wanted it. I'm not sure where you are drawing the line between classes here, but its hardly just the upper class saying no.
Pretty cool. Though I think email is at a ripe time to be disrupted. It's too cluttered. I think people need new-er goal driven inboxes.

Auto tagging and AI solves a small part of it.
Stealth Startup | joinus@hypesafe.ai | Member of Technical Staff | Alamo Square, San Francisco, CA (ONSITE) | Full Time

We have been quietly building a new type of general frontier model since mid 2024. We are reinventing the entire LLM stack for real work, focused on reliability and decision-making. We are well funded with a small and fast moving team previously from OpenAI, Google Brain, Meta and Scale.

Please check out our website: hypesafe.ai

If you are interested, please include the following in your email (to joinus@hypesafe.ai):

- Your resume + GitHub + LinkedIn

- What are some of your previous experiences that you feel proud to share?

- What do you think is the biggest bottleneck from LLMs automating more work? (Bonus points: go deeper than just “reliability”)

- If LLMs actually were reliable, which industries would you be the most excited to disrupt?

- What are you unusually good at? Tell us about something impactful that you made and loved making – feel free to brag a little ( :) ). What challenges/obstacles did you overcome, and how did you choose the solutions or approach you did? In an ideal world, how would you want to apply your unique talents to your next role?

- Tell us about a time you received some tough feedback professionally. What was it? How did you respond to that experience? What did you take away from it?
The folks over at StarbaseDB (https://starbasedb.com/) are working on building tools for shareded SQLite.

From the companies I've talked to, most developers using this architecture are building quick scripts to do this in-house. Both Turso and Durable Objects SQLite already a surprising amount of usage that people don't talk about much publicly yet, so I suspect some of this tooling will start to be published in the next year.
I'm not a car expert, but it seems like the really fun ones require a lot of expensive maintenance. I imagine it wouldn't be hard to rent them for the day/weekend from people who did buy them, but can't really afford them.
I really like Japanese eraser-tipped office pencils. I was cleaning out a drawer the other day and was excited to find half a box of Mitsubishi 9850, a favorite of mine. They run about $8 a dozen, but I felt like I had stumbled on a treasure trove. Smooth writing, nice paint, well-centered leads, and a nice eraser on a ferrule that doesn't loosen up. A good woodcased pencil is a joy to write with.
There are a lot of issues with this study, but I'll start with the obvious one: They exposed those stem cells to a concentration of 15μM luteolin. That's grossly non-physiological. There's no way that you're ever going to see a 15µm plasma concentration following luteolin supplementation, at any reasonable dose.

What's more: "Luteolin exhibits limited blood-brain barrier permeability (−0.907) and CNS permeability (−2.251), indicating poor penetration into the brain."

> https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S222541102...

So if 15µm concentrations are unattainable in plasma, the brain would be exposed to much less still.

In animal experiments, as noted in your link, luteolin appears beneficial. There could be a dose-response-curve thing, where reasonable (physiological) amounts are neuroprotective, whereas exposing cells to very high concentrations directly is damaging.
That's a fair point! Fortunately, our company culture plays a big role here - unless folks truly don't want to take much time off, everyone seems to take about 6 weeks off. Some teams even plan entire weeks off near holidays so that everyone gets rest and work can be planned/scheduled more easily. "Unlimited" means: assuming you get your work
done and are a reasonable team player - take all the time you need (which seems to be 6 weeks, ha)

It can be a slippery slope for sure, I think it only works when the entire team buys into the notion that life is always more important than work (which can feel rare over here).

Happy to say this has been working for me and if the attitude started to change, I like to think I would speak up pretty quickly.

Honestly, you have a really strange way of looking at all this in my opinion. You seem to believe that your employer should compensate you not just for the time you are working for them, but also the time you are not. At no point in my life have I ever seen that expectation from anyone else.

You also seem to have really limited experience with organizations that have in office work. My guess is your career started relatively recently (<5 years). Perhaps all you have known is remote—that would track with the strange perspectives you have posted on this thread.
OT: Ug the text contrast is really hard to read here.
Enshittification is the most obvious one—we should be nationalizing efficient processes at the point they fail to yield further productivity gains.

I don't really have much energy to argue with true believers today, so all I'll say is "read schumpeter dammit". For an industry allegedly founded by the dude I haven't met a single person working with VCs who's actually read the man. He would not consider today's America to have a healthy economy.
Perhaps you should consider that humans have been putting monumental amounts of effort to hide who owns these businesses? Its reasonable to me to assume that those who wish to conduct their business in the shadows have something to hide. Removing the light and returning to shadows? Does that seem like a good idea to you?
Let me take you one layer deep while we are on it; Putin is the POTUS!! Those are just his dogs!!
Not sure that would apply here. Every directors and officers contract I’ve seen or signed has clawback provisions and break clauses for gross misconduct and that type of thing. Then there is a (tense) negotiation about on the one hand whether to enforce those and on the other hand sue and make damaging public allegations and then hopefully common sense prevails and people settle for something less than the full payment but more than zero.

SAP (given what I know about German business culture which isn’t much but isn’t nothing either) could probably have toughed it out if they had wanted to but 7 bucks probably isn’t the full payout either given RSUs etc.

At AIG, I played a key role in database maintenance, cloud migration, and processing monthly claim data for client dashboards. I also resolved bugs in mainframe applications and worked extensively with DB2 databases. My academic background and hands-on experience have equipped me with expertise in big data processing, architecture, networking security, and data privacy regulations.
I’m now seeking a Data Engineer role where I can leverage my technical skills and contribute to the growth of the organization while advancing my career.

Turning data into audio is a big thing nowadays with amateur radio.

Ironic that the author overlaps so much with that field, without noticing that they chose the same name as probably the most used amateur radio programmer in the world.

That makes sense. I’m not sure, though, if your argument really applies to terms made up (or at least coined) by said fascistic assholes; „Sieg Heil“ is very likely no phrase that’ll ever see any justification for using, even if somehow claimed by counter-fascists.

Then again, it’s probably a taunting metaphor to describe a certain ineradicable, flaming fanatism that cannot be tainted by facts anymore, which is what you used it for, so that’s that.

It’s interesting seeing all the innovative writing products in Japan - feels like a totally different culture. I have to say though, in the age of phones and laptops, it’s hard to make time to write things physically. It also just seems more painful (like for the hands). Still, I appreciate the design and thought that goes into Japanese pencils and pens.

I wouldn’t expect someone to replicate a full compiler as an internal editor plugin ever again only to highlight mistakes. Language servers and their support is one of the best things that happened to editors recently. Everyone moved on from ad-hoc plugins. LSP is what you’re looking for, imo. A regular LSP for semantic errors and a linter LSP[-like] for style, bad practice, unused entity, deprecation, etc warnings.

For requirement 2 and 3 I think VSCode can do that. Some themes tint every possible class of token, so casting will look different from multiplication. Afaik, it definitely differentiates functions, locals, globals and members, while they are all identifiers.
A gravitational field does not depend on the mass of the thing being attracted. The earth accelerates things at 9.8 m/s^2, regardless of the thing's mass.

Given that, why shouldn't light also fall at 9.8 m/2^s as it passes the earth? That would be extremely hard to measure, but if you extrapolate the phenomenon, you get gravitational lensing.

18th century scientists wouldn't have known that light was a zero-mass particle. The results of the calculations are ambiguous with a zero-mass particle (a=F/m is a divide-by-zero error). But if you don't know about that, you can just wonder if light particles (or waves, or whatever) also gets deflected at the same acceleration as ordinary matter.

Light in fact doesn't accelerate at a, but at 2a in a gravitational field. The Eddington experiment in 1919 agreed with that figure, disproving the Newtonian version.
RIP Felix has a much better video that explains the cause of the failure.

Factory stress isn't the cause. It was a bad design.
I think a combination of Office Scripts with maybe Power Automate and perhaps some kind of browser extension? I don't think all of COM will be available in the web applications. They haven't bothered implementing COM in Outlook, so Excel and Word will probably end up becoming web applications too.
> Coops are basically geared toward mediocre success

There's something deeply wrong with a society that can label moderate success as "mediocre".

I wish society gave more incentives to healthy, moderately successful, profitable companies instead of "growth and greed at all costs" success.

Or, as you put it, "amazing/startup-style success". Fuck that noise.
> beneficial ownership registration was a massive privacy invasion

A corporation is a legal entity granted by a state for the express purpose of generating commerce and benefiting society. The idea that you have a right a corporation and responsibilities for its fiduciary government but not have to report its controlling interests is silly.

And yes, it probably matters. Cartels are buying guns and cars and paying thugs in US dollars that they get out of the US. Even if you force them to use exclusively cash, it becomes a lot harder to move that much cash across the border without detection.
Data labeling has been moving to onshore / higher paid work. There's still a lot offshore, but for LLMs in particular and various specialized models, there's a massive trend toward hiring highly educated, highly paid specialists in the US.

But as other commenters have warned: beware of labor laws, especially in CA/NY/MA.

I've had a front-row seat to this...our company hires + employs contract W2 and 1099 workers for the tech industry. Two years ago we started to get a ton of demand from data labeling companies and more recently foundation model cos who are doing DIY data labeling. Companies are converting 1099 workforces to W2 to avoid misclassification. Or they're trying to button up their use of 1099 to avoid being offside.
One thing I was told by a VC that I always remembered is that they like to hear that there is competition for the product you're working on because that proves that a market exists.

Can it possibly cost more than a day or three worth of engineer-hours, depending on how many rounds of interviewing are involved?
In tech, the price of something does not correlate to the cost of that thing. It more closely correlates with how much they can get away with charging, which is some arbitrary multiple above the cost of something in order to make an Excel formula work.

> not like they are rolling back the incredibly expensive and privacy invading "Know-Your-Customer" rules across banking as a whole

That might be the end goal. And if it is, I narrowly support it. (Yes, KYC makes cartels’ business more complicated. But it’s also a privately-administered tax on commerce and an uncloaking of NGOs and media organisations, the latter being my areas of concern with this administration.)

But it’s incoherent with launching an origin-based tariff war, or purporting to be fighting e.g. cartel finances (or even illegal immigration). If a Chinese entity can sock themselves inside two Nevada corporations and purport to be American, you’re not going to collect your tariffs or enforce purchase restrictions, e.g. on chips. (Particularly for digital goods.)

When you talk about coops, there is a distinction between a consumer coop and a worker coop. A consumer coop is generally where consumers band together to get better prices on consuming some product or group of products. A worker coop is where workers have ownership and make business decisions together. There are actually other coops too - e.g. farming coops are generally capital equipment sharing arrangements - think sharing ownership of the processing center for some crop. (Also ESOP worker coops - but I would say they generally are very weak on workers making significant decisions).

REI is a consumer coop. At least some of their employees are actually unionized. https://www.motherjones.com/politics/2022/02/rei-coop-union-...
