Advertisers are only interested in the demographic of “might buy my stuff”, which is only people who can potentially be interested in your product.

I dislike this game where we mince words like it changes the fundamental argument. The two crowds want to be linked up in a way that transfers money most happily from consumers to producers. Unhappy purchases are likely to result in returns. Of course, if one advertiser can keep your returns below a certain rate (or won’t cause them to explode), that’s more ideal, so naturally the market will select for companies that do this unless they have some other incredible metrics outweighing that.

Really the only time this isn’t true is with companies designed around maximal waste - products are often too cheap to bother returning and are only meant to last a use or two anyways.
And I, also as an Indian, am thinking how could they beat us to that. Why not an Indian ;-)
That’s not the interpretation of pretty much any court in the history of the United States.

In fact, the opposite is true: The government forcing private individuals or companies to tolerate speech on their premises or carry it in their media is considered compelled speech and as such a First Amendment violation itself.

Whether that’s still the best way of doing things is a different question, but that’s what the First Amendment is/does.
This is probably a play to make X more invest-able, probably combined with some training data rule he foresees in the future.

Musk's companies have raison d'être, and the mergers (SCTY & TSLA) generally have one too.

X has been bleeding money, but has no access to cash. AI on the other hand he can peddle to sovereign wealth funds, apply for government grants, etc. X then becomes a write off against a larger company. xAI seems to be a pretty small company though; linkedin gives me 11-50 employees, which is pretty small for a DIY scaled LLM company worth (WHAT?!)...

Well some VCs are going to be happy. Or sad. Either way, they'll likely need to mark down their fund.

I’m not sure what you mean by fingerprinting and supported protocols. None of that would be present inherently in a UDP stream unless the application included it. As for hiding IP address, that is a valid use case for a TURN server but I’m guessing 99% of TURN server usage occurs only because the NAT hole punch failed.

I don't think this is true anymore. "Selling out" is now seen as a goal. Kids post fake ads on their instagrams to convince each other that they have brand sponsorship deals. Every celebrity, from reality-show nobody to AAA-lister shills for their own signature alcohol or cell phone carrier. The culture celebrates grindset mindset crypto-scam rugpulls and denigrates anyone who toils at a 9-5 as a wage-slave who'll never make it.

I think this is a great point, and people honestly don't say it enough.

There was a clearly worse choice this cycle, even if you felt both options were not ideal.

Apparently, though, most people do not have a memory capable of spanning back past four years time. That and, depressingly, many people are woefully uninformed voters.

But this is a natural consequence of poor labor structure. Work the wage earner to the bone so that they have no time to actually consider their options, learn, and make informed decisions. Cut their leisure to a minimum so that every vote is a vote of vibes and gut feeling.

I feel this myself when assessing local candidates. I would love to develop a complete picture of each candidate and their beliefs, but with what time?

The Mars colonization thing is worth so little that it’d eclipse everything else and make the company worth negative dollars, if he ever really puts them all in on it. It’s pure fantasy. Mars sucks.

It’s an awful place.
"Blue states" are not airgapped enclaves, completely distinct and separate from other states. And there's a lot of diversity just within those states. The approach you're suggesting is not remotely viable. People who vaccinate can still contract illnesses and die from those illnesses. Many people can't vaccinate at all. Herd immunity is an absolutely essential part of the public health benefit of vaccination.

I remember a friend managed to get a copy of a real book in the 90s and was so excited about it. When I sat down to play some tunes out of it, I was unfamiliar with the notation where Cmin7 was written C-7 and CMaj7 was C△. I figured out the latter, but thought the former was Cdim7 which led to some weird harmonizations before I figured it out.
Hey! Creator of stealthinterview.ai here.

After working for 15 years at FAANG, startups and no-name companies, I have conducted more than a 100 interviews for all levels, mostly in engineering.

In my experience with technical interviews specifically, there are 4 types of candidates:

- the memorizer
- the mathematical brain
- the project builder
- the coding enthusiast that knows a language well but can’t do algorithms

Most of the time, I have encountered candidates in buckets 3 and 4. Many showed debugging skills, communication skills, but lacked the right answer to trapping rainwater.

I was told to reject candidates who couldn’t pass these problems mainly on the grounds of solved or not solved, even if they clearly communicated.

The only reason I got into FAANG companies myself is because I was the good memorizer. I couldn’t solve most of these problems today without months of prep.

At the end, I left my FAANG job recently because I realized it’s going to be the same or worse at any other company, because internally it’s all the same B.S. once you make it in. Sure, you’ll get a fat salary, but it’s a slow grind.

Instead, I chose to build things.

Is the interview process today bad? I think so.

What can candidates do about it? Take it in their own hands and play the game or get played.

What is the alternative? Depends. There are many companies that don’t do crazy algorithm interviews and pay really well. In my opinion, if you are hiring hundreds of engineers per year, take-home assessments and reviewing them is literally a job on its own. Making candidates build apps from scratch and deploy it, test it, present it? Maybe, but certainly opinionated, not binary.

New grads don’t have experience, but experienced engineers do. You shouldn’t need to ask people with 10 years of experience about trapping rainwater from LC. There are so many other things to ask, discuss, and gauge experience, scope and depth.

It absolutely is not. In fact it is a restriction on the state.

"The court made 11 factual findings showing that Musk had participated in the deal process to a degree greater than he should have."

"The trial court noted that these “process flaws flow[ed] principally from [Musk’s] apparent inability to acknowledge his clear conflict of interest and separate himself from Tesla’s consideration of the Acquisition."

"Upon recognizing these process flaws, the court then turned to what it identified as the strengths. It found six."

"Regarding fair dealing, the trial court noted that the road leading to the Acquisition was not entirely smooth. The court found, however,that the “Tesla Board meaningfully vetted the Acquisition” and Musk “did not impede the Tesla Board’s pursuit of a fair price.”Although Appellants assert that the court failed to make a finding of fair dealing, the court’s opinion can only reasonably be read and understood as concluding that the flaws did not overcome the findings of the process strengths and that the process, overall, was the product of fair dealing."

Read that as a ringing endorsement if you like.
Well: with the exception of Q1 2020 they were profitable from 2017 until Musk bought the company. Their last year was lower due to a lawsuit settlement but they were making significant profits until his acquisition added huge debt service obligations and tanked revenue.

Ask HN: The agent lied to you, how will you handle it?
I was looking through the logs today, and saw this user asked our Agent to update their credit card phone number. Thing is, they'd already tried before, but the ID check failed, so customer service told them they had to handle it in person.

Anyway, our Agent asked the user for more ID info, and should have called customer service again to give it another shot. But nope! It kinda just... hallucinated? Basically, the Agent lied to the user.

The logs clearly show it never even tried to make the call. It just told the user something like, "Hey, I called again for you, but they still can't do it. You should probably try another way."

And because it didn't actually make a call, our review system didn't catch anything wrong – no call record, right? So, the human review step got skipped, and that bogus reply went straight to the customer.

Man, it seems like these Agents can get "lazy" or avoid tricky tasks, just like people, huh? I'm scratching my head trying to figure out how to stop this from happening again. Got any ideas?
I have no opinion about Musk or Trump. I just want to give counter-examples to your claims: Saddam Hussain, Mussoloni, Ceausescu. At the peak of their power, they all seemed untouchable. Would they even have thought, when they were ruling their countries, that one day their fortunes would turn?

> It does not wipe out whitespace just on its own.

Sounds nice but doesn't match my lived experience with both Chrome's built-in XSLT processor and `xsltproc`. (I was using XSLT 1.0, for legacy reasons, so maybe this is an XSLT 1.0 issue?)

> Do you mean that you'd like facilities to nicely reindent the output?

No, I do mean preserve whitespace (i.e., formatting), such as between elements and between attributes.
The main reason is probably because it is a small state with a majority Christian/Muslim population who work in the Middle East. It allows the state to get to a higher lower income level quickly. But there's very little in terms of actual enterprise in the same way you get in Tamil Nadu or other parts of India.

As to why the article is on the front page on HN? Probably because the state has a large diaspora in the Middle East.
> And I just don't see how one can claim this makes any sense in modern times! Proles selling their 'labor power' are out-earning the bougies

No, they generally are not. There is obviously overlap, as there was in Marx's time, in income, but that’s not a problem with the theory—class isn’t about income but mode of participation in the economy.

> For that matter bougies in modern times don't make wealth their from buying labor power - they mostly just dump money into investments, bonds, and other such financial vessels.

The “financial vessels” are instruments of other entities, most of which exist by rented labor power.

> And again the distinctions really fail because the same is also true of retail investors with a a Robin Hood or whatever.

The distinctions have never been hard lines. In the most simplistic analysis class is determined by the predominant mode of interaction with the economy, while a more nuanced view sees class membership as essentially a fuzzy membership function, depending on the degree to which one interacts in the manner (selling labor to capitalists vs applying your own labor to your own capital vs. owning capital to which rented labor is applied) archetypical of a given class (both these modes of a analysis have been around for quite a while, thougj the fuzzy membership function language would only be used fairly recently.)
It's incredibly entitled of some big cloud based operator to send mail from an SMTP source that doesn't have proper reverse DNS. Any normal independent small operator sending mail without proper reverse DNS will increase its likelihood of spam rank by a thousand percent. Or get flat out rejected at the SMTP negotiation process or relay attempt.

But things like icloud, office365, google workspace and similar are "too big to fail", right? They don't have to play by the same rules as the rest of us peons.

as referenced here, from the post on the 'mailop' mailing list

This is either an astonishing level of technical fuck-up from what has to be an entire work group of people with six figure salaries whose jobs are nothing but running email server infrastructure, so they must clearly know better, or a lack of regard for the internet community and accepted standards. I really cannot think of a third possible explanation for it.

To be clear for those people who don't run their own email servers: Having proper reverse DNS for the IP of your outbound SMTP sending server is one of the absolute bare minimum requirements for accepted mail flow, and is a standard that's probably 25 years old or older now. It significantly pre-dates SPF, DKIM, DMARC and all the rest. Proper RDNS is literally one of the first things you verify before you set up everything else.
They’re busy making sure the firms with the money and bench to try to fight the authoritarian take-over in court are all sidelined.
Could not disagree more. Everything that affects your use of a language is that language - the standard library, the ecosystem, the community, the documentation, the tooling, every single thing.

The standard library is special. It sets the blessed way to do X, e.g. Context, the Writer and Reader interfaces, etc. Claiming that you may as well write your own is like claiming you can just fork Linux if you disagree with its direction. Good luck with that.

Bringing up Python is particularly unfortunate since its packaging story sucks, so whether a package is included in its stdlib or not really matters.

Sure, argv parsing is an isolated piece of functionality, so in that specific case it doesn't really matter what package you use, but the sentiment is incredibly wrong in general.
His behavior was disrespectful and disruptive and in violation of our code of conduct.

Certainly not the first time a vague and imposing "code of conduct" has caused trouble.
If you have mixed edges you don't use BFS you use Dijkstra's algorithm preferably with a heap and the example you said is still not a problem. The short path made of many edges would be pulled out of heap first ensuring first time visit is still the shortest. If you run actual BFS on non uniform edges, for something like a->b a->c b->d c->d d->e it won't ecesseryn even produce the shortest path at all, only way i can imagine it working is to drop the requirement of not visiting single node twice for it to produce shortest path. At that point it's not BFS at all, and not only you would have to visit whole graph you would have to visit whole graph multiple times, worst case expontially if you have something like braching chain of paths.

How do I market a financial agent like Manus
Hello HN,

Been working on building a financial agent that can research, calculate and conduct financial analysis

The idea to do this was actually inspired by a post that I saw on r/smallstreetbets, where the OP would screenshot the daily price chart of the SPY, and ask Chat-GPT to give them a single leg options trade in the near term. https://www.reddit.com/r/smallstreetbets/comments/1isl2kh/ca...

They actually ended up making a couple of good consecutive trades doing so, but of course on the surface it was still just gambling. But it did make me wonder what would happen if I gave the best AI models access to live and historical financial data, news reports, and social media.

So decide to make a platform that gives access to a coding environment where it could pull financial metrics through APIs and analyze them with self-written code. For sentiment analysis, I enabled it to search and summarize reddit and twitter content. I connected these tools in a sandboxed environment that allowed the AI to work autonomously while staying focused.

Essentially made a Manus but for financial agent.

The problem is however I dont really know how to push this out there properly. Does any one have any tips?

Yep, whenever I start a new job I say "Don't worry, because iamverysmart, you don't need any Microsoft products!" I am then hailed as a genius, everyone claps, and I get a big fat raise.
I think the main point of the opposition argument is that it's Kerala's religious demographics that led the state to be dependent on Middle Eastern remmitence. If you did a demographic survey of South Asians in the Middle East, the vast majority of them would be Muslim. It's a good way to reach a lower middle income level, but it's not achieving the type of growth needed to build industry and service.
The government spends 1 out every 5 dollars of GDP. It probably does need a better mechanism for managing costs and outlays. Having one of the "richest men in the world" be in charge of it is ridiculous.

That's Trump for you. Populism up front, oligarchy in the back.

> Plain is a fork of Django

Why. This makes me sad. Plain looks great, but Django's strength is its maturity and amazing, enduring community built on contributions from thousands. Forking it will at best split contributions and mean infrequent merges, and at worst means Plain users lose out on Django improvements and Django users lose out on Plain patches.

It seems like Plain could be just a set of Django packages known to work together, and perhaps a new wrapper script replacing `django-admin`, but instead it appears it is a true fork.

Plain basically looks great. I love Django, and this is a long list of things that I'd need on top of Django anyway. Would I use a framework on top of a framework like this? I'm not sure. I just wish it was built in a way that contributed to the Django community instead of one that divides it.
