Opinionated, politicized CEOs of consumer products is not a good idea, doesn't matter what party affiliation. Its going to cause issues with the company and the board of directors would be justified in ousting someone like that. There's just not going to be a good outcome with someone like that at the helm.

Not really. You introduce yourself to the world by the statements and opinions you express. Advocating for firing everyone in a hypothetical team because of a hypothetical scenario where hypothetical team members help each other out is a business card of your level of experience, expertise and awareness.

Show HN: GenderBench – Evaluation suite for gender biases in LLMs
GenderBench is an open-source evaluation benchmark that measures gender biases in large language models. This is my attempt to decompose this pretty complex and difficult topic into interpretable measures. My goal was to systematize the evaluation of unfair behavior in LLMs and help other developer and researchers do their own tests.

What is linked here is the report that is generated from GenderBench logs that quantifies how LLMs behave in various situations when gender can be considered.

So... Basically LinkedIn. Where it is your "vacation photo and what it taught me about inbound marketing" type of bs.
Something has always bugged me about DoorDash. It just seems so wasteful. What does it take to get a chicken sandwich, fries, and a drink to my door? I've never pinpointed the waste, but intuitively, it just feels like there is waste at every point along the chain. So, I've only used the service once--with a gift card.

I have to admit, as a business, DASH has exceeded my expectations. 50% gross margins, high growth, and they recently posted a net profit--barring accounting fuckery. The ratio of sales & marketing to revenue is almost reasonable; I once grouped DASH with sportsbooks as "detrimental sales spend to keep a narrative going... will not end well." In the long run, if the mission is "get food to you conveniently", technology can do amazing things with time.

All of this is a little off topic. Regarding the Klarna partnership, yeah it's a dangerous service that will get misused while having a few beneficial uses. But that's basically all of consumer finance. All consumer debt is some shade of gray, good to bad.

So let's put the assumption to test then - did your blog increase the offers that were given to you? Do you still get offers for jobs?
You asked "why", I gave a pointer.

I feel like your comment is a knee-jerk reaction to the text I quoted, rather than a response to an article which fully agrees that these are neither good nor reasonable arguments.

The headline text says "I'm a high school teacher, and my school banned cellphones in the classroom. Every school should do the same."

The author's direct response to those excuses is:

> However, if you're a teacher, administrator, parent, or just someone who cares about the experience of young people in your community, I urge you to think beyond these concerns — What if they complain? What if I can't reach them? What if it doesn't work? — and take a few moments to reread what my students wrote above.
It's the same data. What's different is essentially the transport layer for the information.

> Two protocols that have the same data would be quite redundant.

When one is plaintext, underspecified, and decades old, they're not. I don't think you realize how primitive WHOIS is; this is the entirety of its RFC: https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc3912 Note how it doesn't go any farther than "it's a plain text blob retrieved over TCP". Now contrast with the RDAP RFCs, which fully specify every aspect of how an RDAP service works:

https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc7480
https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc7481
https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc7482
https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc7483

Integrating with WHOIS is a nightmare, as every registrar/registry does it differently since there's no common specification other than "connect over TCP". RDAP is fully specified, so you can simply use a language-specific library and then inspect a strongly typed response object returned by said library to get specific information out of the response. It's a night-and-day difference, and there's obviously a reason for the new spec to exist even though it conveys the same data. It's absolutely not redundant.
Ah makes sense thanks!

That exponential character is what we are seeing with computers too. Better computers increase both the supply and the demand for even more.
His best lesson, in my opinion: https://whatisnuclear.com/rickover.html

His writing style is very good, and he succinctly summarizes the phenomenon where a technology that is substantially complete to the point that it has known issues is looked down upon while a technology that is purely "on paper" (the "paper reactor" as he calls it) is treated as a good alternative, since the paper technology isn't far enough along for the problems to even be known. That's not even a good TL;DR, so you should just read Rickover's essay.

All users of the service. Because RDAP has a fully specified format, your client can interpret it in predictable ways and then actually present the information to the user in a consistent format (or be used programmatically). WHOIS is just a blob of text that every service implements somewhat differently, so WHOISing domains across different registrars/registries does not provide a consistent UI, and it's often confusing.
Um.

I don't know how many people on HN have served and heard of Rickover? But I'm pretty sure most people on HN could not function in a Rickover style management context. It gets things done, but it's not terribly polite about going about getting them done.

To the article's credit, it does touch on this aspect of his management style. But engineers today are from the Millennial or GenZ generations. A lot of that just would not fly. I chuckle thinking about the shock and surprise on the average HN'ers face when one morning they come in and find out they're fired because a hypothetical "Rickover" did a code review last night and found a long existing bug they didn't fix yet.

And keep in mind, this hypothetical "Rickover" would review your code, and that of all your reports, every night. He doesn't like the architecture you chose? You're gone. He finds issues in the code of one of your subordinates? That subordinate is gone and you are too.

It's harsh. I'm not sure today's Americans are ready for that?

If we had the full change history you would see that it is written in B. New features were added and changes were iteratively made along the way, but it is the same codebase. Nowadays we'd pick some change point and call it B v2, but back then they named that point C.

Well, what if you were in budget, your caterer failed to meet their obligation but aren't paying you back for several business days, and that extra $800 put you just over budget?

Yet another corporate open-washed PR stunt of a release, lawyers and MBA middle management types thinking they can get away with some sneaky shit. The intent is advertising, and in this case, selling AMD gpus, and has nothing to do with providing an actual Open Source project or product. They could invest in fixing their software offerings and compete with nvidia on the merits of their product, but they dropped the ball, even running an own-goal or two in the last several years.

This is similar to freeware. They could use actual open source licenses, like Apache or MIT, BSD, or hell, even some flavor of GPL, but the license they provided is hot garbage.

AMD doesn't get to reinvent the meaning of "Open Source" when it's convenient to their corporate goals.
> The question "Who invented this?" is most often pointless

Perhaps you're right in a technical/technological sense. But there's a deeper question I think we need to explore: will we as American citizens be patriots? (where by patriots I mean simply people who love their country and fellow countrymen/women and have a shared cultural identity).

Brazil ought to be lauded for their fierce patriotism. Their insistence that Dumont is the real inventor is great - it means they care about their shared history and cultural identity. It's part of how Brazilians as a people-group care about and love one another. US citizens ought to feel the same way about the Wright brothers. As a citizen myself, I'm proud to say that the Wright brothers were the first to fly an airplane that carried a human. It matters to me because this is my country. If you're a US citizen, it should matter to you too.

--

Zooming out a bit... A house divided against itself cannot stand. Love is what holds families together. To love family members is to care for and prefer them more than people outside the family -- that is a good thing. A strong family with strong love can be a strong resource to help people outside the family.

In the same way, a country divided against itself cannot stand; and love is what holds countries together. To love fellow countrymen/women is to care and prefer them more than people outside the country -- that is a good thing. A strong country with strong love can be a strong resource to help people outside the country.

We need that in the US (and many places in the West) again. TA isn't so much about who is "right" but the difference between Brazilian national identity and the USA (which used to have a strong national identity).

Exactly what I have been brainstorming a couple of times recently. I think it's a really cool idea, although I wouldn't know why anybody would want to switch? It would probably become rather niche (which is possibly even for the best). And if a critical mass switches over, what would prevent it from having the same kind of people and behaviour?

That being said I would be absolutely down to go down that rabbithole.

Yeah I like this idea, too. Testable, reliable -- and simple as possible - more important the more experience I have. I find myself leaning and advocating for the simpler of options, the one that gets to prototype, or feedback or PoC, sooner, knowing that more can be added later. Broad strokes, then fine strokes.

One silly but I guess not bad "test" I had for a technology or choices was: If I had to debug this for a critical problem at 3AM coming home from something else and am intoxicated, can I do it? If it doesn't pass that test (the "can I debug this at 3AM drunk" test), if it's too complex, I'm wary of it! Hahaha :)

I’m not asking you if you read carefully. This is not to be mean, I asked the GP specifically because they demonstrated that they understand the spirit of what I am talking about. Your own confusion is stemming from something else, not my question (you don’t even recognize my question, as evidenced).

For example, who raised you? See, that’s a question you might not understand but it’s the spirit of my original question.

So what am I asking?
Thanks to nuclear weapons testing in the 1950s, carbon in the atmosphere is contaminated with high levels of radioactive C14 whereas 100 years ago it had only mild contamination from cosmic rays and more than 1,000,000 ago it is all decayed.

If a cow eats grass and burps, the methane is radioactive, if methane leaks from natural gas pipelines, it isn’t, which is how this paper can trace the origin of methane.

Solving complex problems with simple systems is really really difficult.

Most people can't do it.

Even worse, most businesses are actively preventing it with the way they want their teams to work. How many people reading this can honestly say they get time to address technical debt or rework things to fit a more coherent view of the overall pattern that has developed with time and fixes and added features? How many developers can truly say they get to choose the best technology to do their job? Do you actually use the languages and tools that fit your domain best?

Almost none of us, right?

Also some of what you cite is fairly early-stage tech. IaC is still such a new concept that it's not surprising nobody's figured out how to make something that isn't incredibly annoying yet. Terraform, Bicep, whatever, it's all pretty raw and hideous still.

It's not so much that we like complex and messy tools and solutions, it's that we don't - for various reasons - have a choice.
GitLab drives me insane with this. My runner is on a 5 year old alienware desktop with an nvme ssd and all the trimmings but loading an uncompressed cache from the same local disk takes ten goddamn minutes. No matter what, all of my jobs take five to ten minutes just to start up.

As someone who's been broke and making bad credit decisions to float things along, I'd say it's often a mindset, getting in a mental rut where you just keep doing the same thing because it solves the problem for today.

I'm not talking here about people who are truly poor and have insufficient income, but people who have money coming in and going out but always seem to be a couple months behind. So lots of stuff goes on credit and costs interest, and they pay a lot of late fees and sometimes overdrafts. But they never fall further behind, so they feel like if they could just get over the hump, they'd be okay. And if you look at their numbers, they're right. But if you handed them a couple months' income so they could get caught up, they'd probably be right back in the same situation within a year, because "barely keeping up" feels normal to them, so the difference between that and "in the black" feels like a buffer they can safely spend down.

What it probably takes (what it took for me, anyway) was not just a new job with a regular salary, but a change in mindset, especially starting to keep a budget so I know where every paycheck is going before I get it. I haven't paid a late fee or a dollar in interest (except my mortgage) for five years, and that's saved me thousands of dollars over what I was spending before. Life is expensive when you're broke.

Do programmers generally enjoy some amount of complexity?

There are probably too many factors that vary by individual to create a generalized answer.

I want the real genius to pick or create a solution meaning it will be so simple it would take a supreme being to make it any simpler. Anyone at any technical level should be able to read the docs and hit the ground running. People need to get work done and not spend 80+% of their work time screwing around with some complex disaster that will only turn into an even greater time-sink as it (d)evolves.

Just want to add the tiny nitpick that there's no C++ "law" that the end result must be code duplicated in the binary. It's just that it may require link time optimizations and untangling which in practice is not done, so you'd end up with duplicates, after all.

> So are stem cells a 'real' thing now?

Always were a real possibility and under active research but the unregulated treatments you read about in Mexico, Thailand etc were probably snake-oil rather than targeted, effective medicine.

The unregulated stuff has alway seemed to involve just injecting some sort of stem-cell milkshake into the affected area and hoping it does something useful. The attached article describes a more involved process.

Both things can be true - those clinics are doing bullshit medicine, and stem-cell treatments can maybe be made to work.
