Fair for the ones who don’t put in any effort, but I don’t buy this generalization for the folks who are real people in the middle between “completely unqualified” and “telling the truth about their experience”.
Interesting.

What kind of sense of working as a team, and loyalty to the team, developed there? (Among the people who lasted, and how they related to new hires.)

Do you think the hire&fire practices influenced that?
Cross my mind when government tweets were moving entire indices. That is a Midas touch.
Well my wife is allergic to cocoa, so that's an interesting alternative.
At companies where I've worked, all of the money we've put into open source has been in contracting the developer(s) to add a feature we needed to the upstream version. Of course, this means that we didn't really fund ongoing maintenance on anything we used that had all the features we needed.

Trump admin identifies 16 sites for AI data centers
I’m all for speed bumps but I could imagine issues with an Amazon speed jump being out of spec/poorly made resulting is durability issues that make the plastic break and create shards, being too slippery causing issues when bicycles ride over it. Stuff like that.

And litigious people are almost certainly more imaginative about these things than you and me.
DARPA Picks Firms for Quantum Computer Development Project
Anecdotally, using Darktable, I could never get as good of a demosaicing result as using the straight-out-of-camera JPEGs from my Fujifilm GFX 100S. In challenging scenarios such as fine diagonal lines, Darktable's algorithms such as LMMSE would add a lot of false colour to the image.

However, modern deep learning-based joint demosaicing and denoising algorithms handily outperform Darktable's classical algorithms.

Yeah, you’re technically right (the best kind of right!) — on both counts.

However, if I understand everything correctly (IANAL), personal liability is basically the same. If you go for 2500 € capital and your company becomes undercapitalized, you’ll still be personally liable for any claims against your company, no?

(But personally, I just like how this opens opportunities even for people for whom 2500 € is a serious amount of money. Granted, you probably shouldn’t open up a company in this kind of situation, but at least you can!)
Luxurious margins make it possible to promote a luxury story. Think like Häagen-Dazs.

Definitely not the only one, which is ground for discourse, and a source for content, money, critical thinking, improvement and cognitive and linguistic mechanics that help others find their POV ...

The article is deliberately ignoring the history of software, which in the 90's gave a very clear definition of "open source" by the OSI as a synonym of "free software", which also historically means the four freedoms defined by Richard Stallman.

You may want to ignore what words have come to mean and try to derive a literal meaning from their constituent words, but then you need to fight established common use.

Say what you will about Clinton, but slashing the military budget is what made the math actually work, and lead to a budget surplus. The austerity and efficiency stuff was peanuts in comparison.

Clinton's cuts were ultimately only temporary, since the military-industrial complex got fat again in the post 9/11 gold rush. A correction is long overdue.

That this isn't really even considered is pretty telling about the real motivations of the current regime.
Yes, that's how it sounded to me as well.
Thanks, I hadn’t considered this before.
Was talking to my buddy who works there and they have a section in the performance review for how eagerly you're using AI. It honestly sounds like that organization is run by cargo cult clowns though.

Hey there! I'm Rowan. I have ~8 years experience in life sciences startups and research: I built and led the software team at molecular diagnostics lab, built an award-winning synthetic bio video game, and have worked with startups and major research groups like at Stanford Health. Recent work of mine: published a survey of semantic search engines for science and soon to launch a climate data research & analysis agent.

It's super cool! Just from short time that I've been playing around with it, it looks like you can push it pretty far. Before too long I hope to have a Show HN post with a link to the tracker out live in production
The point is that Unix philosophy is mostly a retroactive justification of why things are the way they are, and not really a coherent philosophy that drove the design of those things, even though it is now often represented as such.
No, but I think it's a lot. I'd bet that the vast majority of those round-trip through string serialization, requiring no further user action based on my recommendation.

NixOS is very cool that's for sure, I plan on returning to it once I feel prepared to deal with coding all the configs in.
In Glamorous Toolkit we have extensive infrastructure to interoperate with Rust. In fact, the main app is a Rust app that relies on several other Rust plugins. The Pharo Virtual Machine is used as a library :).

I enjoy your comparison with Docker. Indeed, the comparison to what you know is inevitable and it works quite well for incremental news. It works less well for new. But it's still on us, the authors, to try to find ways to communicate differently to appeal to a larger audience especially as our goal is to educate. I am also of the opinion that the most interesting path is to get someone to create outsized value that cannot be ignored. Our current focus is to find those initial someones :).
it’s only effective because disney has high paying customers and disney wants to please them. i have no idea why you think that would generalize to the general public.

why would a private company, put in charge by the government, not do the bare minimum to maintain their contract, and pocket the rest as profit? Disney isn’t maintaining their potholes out of the goodness of their hearts.
Notes on Literate Programming
At least this is the end of the js framework of the week. We developers deliberated ourselves from software development. Hell. We made our own jobs redundant. How stupid and genius at the same time can a profession be
I literally started working on the same exact idea last night haha. Great work OP. I'm curious, how are you feeding the web data to the LLM? Are you just passing the entire page contents to it and then having it interact with the page based on CSS selectors/xpath? Also, what are your thoughts on letting it do its own scripting to automate certain tasks?
I think the better/mature response to this cultural change is to design takehomes anticipating the use of AI and then seeing where the canddiate got lost in the weeds or gets lost when cross questoined about it
The “holding a button” thing actually resonated. It feels like the real work here is engineering the reward structure to make exploration even remotely viable. Dreamer’s world model might be cool, but most of the heavy lifting still seems to come from how forgiving the Minecraft environment is for training.

I do wonder though: if you swapped Minecraft for a cloud-based synthetic world with similar physics but messier signals, like object permanence or social reasoning, would Dreamer still hold up? Or is it just really good at the kind of clean reward hierarchies that games offer?
lol! Same here :-) In fact, I clicked it only because the headline immediately reminded me of that episode.
I think most people will agree with you.
I suspect the people saying nothing's changed are not people who've been conducting interviews recently.

Same in 2001. Took 8 months to get my first job. I started the hunt after graduation to avoid job interviews interfering with study (an 1 hr interview would be a 1 day affair with commuting).

Had I got a job before I graduated that company may well have gone bust or laid people off anyway.

Had some bad interviews including being beaten by a other candidate on a job writing access databases for a 1 person business, and a job where they said they interview girls to see what they look like (not a girl but was disgusted... I carried on the process anyway because need $)
The blue is amazing though!
I am glad you find Moldable Development interesting as a concept.

I would be more than curious to learn more about how you see this space :)
Uh well what about when they ban all Linux builds containing commits from Chinese contributers?
That's the kind of nonsense thinking that leads to folks like apple removing critical features that "noone uses".

reminds me of that yogi berra quote "nobody goes there anymore, it's too crowded"

For example, many people don't even understand target disk mode on apple hardware, but it has saved me countless hours over the years and made administering apple systems a breeze. Ask people who've used target display mode if they can imagine going without it.

on another subject - it's worth mentioning that time machine is based on rsync.
I'm sorry, like the other comment said you're still both-sides-ing.

States / cities (democrat or republican) sent riot police, which is something they have always done. How they handled protests is worth criticism e.g. I don't like that they use curfews to suddenly make protesters breaking the law. I don't like the use of tear gas on otherwise peaceful protestors. As a note, these are state / city officials not federal guidance typically.

However,

The current administration, Donald Trump, the president of the united states, and the top most members of his cabinet, as a federal, top-down policy will:

- Automatically identify protesters

- Arrest them for simply saying things the admin doesn't like.

- Bypass due-process.

- Will ship them to a gulag outside of the united states.

- Are on track to be found in contempt of court for refusing to bring back a lawful resident.

Both sides are not the same here. Name me a democrat president who has done equal or worse what the trump admin has done.
And people may lean on their networks more (though they already do).

I do agree that there’s no reason face to face interviews shouldn’t be the norm again after an initial screen.

If some of those things don’t appeal to some candidates? <shrug> I don’t totally mean that. But some practices should be the default even if some candidates don’t really like them (and even if they’re less convenient or more costly for hiring managers.)

Not sure about the suit at a lot of tech companies but dressing neatly and even throwing on a sports jacket probably doesn’t hurt.
Well, even more recent reports from Germany also claim that wolves are damn clever to cope even with e-fences. Unfortunately, the question of wild wolves roaming the country now has become a cultural war issue where you can easily guess the left/right divide.

For our ecosystem, a well-managed wolf population is probably a good thing, but rationality is about to go out the window over here. Of course, wolves do not slaughter herds out of pure fun, but also true is that the can wreak quite a bit of economic damage if they break into a holding pen.
I have so much fun with my PiDP-11 that this will have to go on the list.

Does anyone know if MIDAS has been recreated for it or not?

A bit of the hint on the PPT reader, which would be awesome, the rp2xxx chips PIO can handle that with ease. As the PDP1 doesn't have take-up it is pretty trivial to make at 'historic' speeds. Obviously punching is much more difficult.

I looked into it for quite a bit, but not having access to tapes, puncher, supplies etc... I gave up on the idea as the PiDP-10 will scratch my personal nostalgia itch a bit more right now.
About five years ago, maybe more, Google started sending me captchas if I ran too many repetitive searches. I could be wrong, but it feel like most large platforms have fairly sophisticated anti-bot/scraping stuff in place.
I can’t remember which one did the BK Whopper and White Castle burgers - beyond or impossible. (I live in Europe but was spending most of my time in the USA when these came out).

Whatever one it was - it has a heme protein extracted from soybean roots which gives it that blood smell and taste that is so satisfying.
I'm often surprised when someone will paste a screenshot of a tweet with the name blurred (presumably to protect them from harassment). The contents of the tweet are easily searchable...
There is both this post about not being able to delete a curl, and other posts about being able to delete curls unauthenticated. Looks like you should be able to issue a DELETE curl request, to delete your curl.
Is that because

* they don't trust their interviewers to be professional and objective, or

* they're trying to have a EEOC CYA paper trail that says they make efforts to be unbiased, or

* DEI motivated (e.g., not everyone has the advantage of good past experience as a starting point for conversations), or

* some other HR theory?
I get why they might have a certain expectation. It kinda depends on the job market. The guy in the cube next to me at Fidelity had a degree from MIT.

The person behind choviva is not in a position to change China's coal usage or US freight rail uptake. Neither are you and neither am I. Should we just do nothing?
It is possibly to earn over £100k as a software engineer employee in the UK, however those tend to be very specialised fields. (Not all of them are finance related).

I do recall a software manager (OK apples to oranges) grumbling about 10 years ago about him exceeding that level, and having to play games to avoid being bit by the tax impact which cuts in between £100k and £125k.

That said, I do know engineers who indicate they earn in excess of £100k, and they're not lead nor founder level - just experienced in the appropriate area.
Makes sense, though I mention since I'm reading the OP not wanting to move back home to bad situation, others suggesting working at fast food, etc. Both of those seem really drastic compared to considering military (unless OP is holding out for a top-paying, high-status position, in which case they need to pick their priorities imho, especially in this market)
That's true, I'm coming into the audio and signals world as a beginner so I'm still picking up the lingo but totally! For my purposes I only want to keep track of a single source for a channel so I've gone down this wave transformation path rather than composition but that also would get the job done
There are other forces acting on the movie industry. The rise of streaming killing DVD sales, YouTube and tiktok competition for attention etc. lowered their revenue a lot leading to a lot less ability to take risks on new ideas that may or may not sell well

Actually the opposite of what you think might come to happen. If you lower the barrier to entry for creating a movie, we might see a lot more creative ideas coming from people that would never have the chance before
I remember it by heart too, from 38 years ago. Plus most of "O Sirmio, gem of islands and peninsulas, every one of which Neptune, in his dual role, supports in the liquid lakes and vast seas...".

That was thanks to a mid winter Catullus test that got delayed several times due to flu circulating in our year 11 class. By the time everyone was finally back in school, we'd revised it something like 5 times and knew all the set poems off by heart.

Hi, I'm Rowan. Would love to hear from you if you're working on data retrieval for agents. Previously built and led software teams, currently working on composing / semi-autonomous LLMs and climate data knowledge retrieval.

It isn't "your data". Which pages you have viewed on my website is my data. It relates to you but is does not belong to you.

You don't have any privacy right to control data that belongs to other people and happens to relate to you. Privacy is about the state needing a warrant to enter your home and search it or to wiretap you. The idea it has anything to do with information you GIVE to websites by visiting them is a complete delusion.
She did, I spoke to her a few years ago; doing well. She is a lawyer in DC and was glad to hear I was doing well too.
The specific AI technology being demonstrated isn't an LLM, it's a different kind of model that renders Quake from memory. It's very much trained to copy Quake.
Why should there be a globally relevant software company? How about locally relevant software companies? If it is successful enough to pay for its own expenses and decent income for the employees/founders, it is a good business.
Now you're tilting at imaginary windmills. No one is "telling me what I can and cannot do because you disagree."

I'm simply pointing out it has zero net effect on the problem. It's like trying to stop an island from being flooded by rising sea levels, using a bucket brigade. It's not "better than doing nothing!"; it is doing something that achieves nothing.

Go ahead with your buckets if you want to. Buy them in pretty colors with flowers around the top. Have fun.

But it won't stop the tide.
Absolutely. No fucking way am I giving up chocolate for anything so it’s just a moot point and a funny read.

Since this is just a speculation: China's government could throw a wrench in that.

Let's say they see Taiwan coming out of a negotiation with Trump implementing zero tariffs.

I wouldn't put it past them to do a naval blockade on Taiwan to "prevent the US from stealing their tax income" or some other excuse.
They want it to be an afforable kit. Indeed very nice to get your hands on one
git over ipfs then?
25% and 75% would sound identical alone, but in a mix there often are interplays where it can create a difference. An easy way to hear it is to run two synced oscillators, say a square and a saw, with sharp attack. The resulting sound should be sufficiently different, one side would dampen the attack compared to the other. Furthermore, I think in hardware synths and those that emulate them changing pulse width can cause the module to implicitly shift the signal up or down to ensure consistent average voltage, further complicating things. I am curious what you mean by compression.
I can't believe you'd laugh at a sentient agent who's trying their best to pick up a pencil and obviously struggling. Maybe you should practice some empathy and help them pick it up?
With Lua, it becomes near impossible for a program like lux to edit the manifest.

For example, how would I `lx add <dependency@version>` if the `dependencies` table might be generated by a Lua function?
A lot of things are happening, this company is just doing a little part of it and that's alright.

China have ambitious plans to carbon neutral by 2050 and the US had plans to... ok maybe the US is a bit stuck for the moment but it seems like at least some states seem to care.

What's important is that people show that investing in environmental-friendly companies is worthwhile. Right now that is not usually the case unless there's some kind of state/government incentive. And no, incentives are not bad since the option of polluting also has a cost, the only difference is that the cost of polluting is a long-term loan that it growing and is already hard to pay off.
Maybe "zero consequences from doing nothing" is all the explanation that is needed?
There are some versions of MIDAS around on bitsavers but I have to admit i haven't really looked into them much yet. Gotta leave something to the community, right? (or so i tell myself...). Another thing is that not all PDP-1s were the same and especially the PDP-1/X at MIT was a super hacked up version. Any code for that will not run my emulation (at least for now).

A real tape reader would be great and is something we are considering for the future, but without a punch it's not very satisfying. There will be a paper tape visualization though (currently writing the code for that).
Yeah, but Häagen-Dazs is actually quite good (as far as commercial store-bought goes), even in blind taste tests...
