That's a bit exaggerated. I did have a company, and while it did come with bureaucracy, the vast majority of my time was spent on what you expect a founder to do (sales, marketing, product, etc.).

I have a list of past projects I'm comfortable talking about. I can go to great lengths talking about any of them in detail if prompted. I'm also comfortable talking about technical topics including those I'm not intimately familiar with - that's part of my job after all. But most importantly, I'm confident enough that I can say "I don't know what that is, can you elaborate?" and "I'd need to look into that and get back to you".

I've you're going to leetcode me, I'm going to underperform. I've never had to do leetcode for a job. I also don't typically apply to the kind of companies that think leetcode is a good filter. Why should I waste their time and mine to apply to a job at a company I'm probably going to hate working for?

Exactly. This is what people keep underestimating. The way we currently generate power is expensive and inefficient. A lot of what we do is energy intensive. Which means it requires a lot of money to do.

Transport is a good example. A long distance truck can take up to 300 gallons of diesel. It will drive quite far on that. But that's over 1000$. A well utilized truck goes through well over 100K$ of fuel per year. That's a lot of money.

Enter electric trucks. Yes they have range limitations (depending on their battery size). But they don't use up 100K $ worth of electricity per year burning over 1M $ of fuel over it's lifespan. Not to mention all the maintenance and parts associated with keeping diesel engines going.

Solar/wind/battery power has essentially no marginal cost. Electric trucks powered by that still have some marginal cost but it's a lot lower than that of a diesel truck. And even at current grid prices (typically determined by the cost of fossil fuels), it's probably earning itself back. What happens when diesel trucks follow the same cost curve that EVs went through? You don't need to be a genius to figure out that there are going to be a lot of truckers and trucking companies that can't afford to stick with diesel for very long when everybody starts decimating their fuel expenses.

That's just trucks. The same kind of economics are happening across pretty much every sector that can feasibly be electrified. It's not all happening at once. But probably in hind sight in a few decades it will have happened very quickly. One moment everybody was mostly burning diesel, petrol, methane, and coal and a few short decades later all of that is gone because it became way too costly to continue doing any of that.

Perfect! This will be useful for me.

I second networking as the thing to do in this job market.

The vast majority of the recent interviews that I have gotten have been through networking. Sometimes just asking the right people works, but obviously you have to know who to ask, when to ask it, and how to ask it to make it work. There are also more passive methods like the HN monthly job threads, but you should do active networking as your primary networking method in this job market.

Even if I apply via a job board to positions that I am supremely qualified for, there is a good chance I'll be auto-rejected within a day. It has happened multiple times to me and I shrug it off at this point.

I know networking is hard, especially when you are just starting out, but I just wanted to write a post saying that it does work if you stick to it.

(That said, I would also prepare to be unemployed for an extended period. Even if you are actively interviewing, it can take months to get a job offer. For my current position, it took 5 months to get an offer and I started 4 months later due to a housing storage where the job was located.)
There are many recruiters out there that will flat out reject someone if they aren't a perfect match for every single skill listed. I don't have a problem with lying to get past that gauntlet.
You have to give 6 months notice to resign? Wow...
Today there are also plenty of cheap models that support memory expansion and have an additional slot for an SSD. The only exception is the ability to replace the processor, which is extremely rare. So you should rather ask yourself why you, as a consumer, chose a non-upgradable model.

To whoever down-voted me, please do explain how HMRs are comparable to Erlang's true hot code swapping or even Lisp's live redefinition.

HMR is limited to modules (almost or always UI components), and there is no native VM support (module boundaries, side effects, and global state complicates it further) for it, and there is no multi-version coexistence either, and it is absolutely not suitable for production.

To call "hot module replacement" hot loading is very generous, and quite an overstatement.

It is only very superficially similar to hot code swapping. It is a developer tool, not a foundation for live, fault-tolerant systems.

It is absurd to call hot module replacement (HMR) "hot reloading". It might sound fancier, but it is nowhere close to true hot code swapping.

Peak redefinition of terminology. Call it what it is: hot module replacement, at best.
There is very little reason why a Business would prefer cash other than have some freedom in how it's reported. This is considering how much of a hassle and risk is involved in having large sums.

There is even less reason why a person would, most people in regular jobs get paid via bank accounts (Brazil even have a special kind with no fees for it). Now informal (non registered and non tax paying) employment is cash heavy: house cleaning, small repairs, produce vendors, etc.

I don't even think is criminal, it's kinda Business as usual in Brazil.

Money usage fell in Brazil, pix is the most used method, 37% of the workers are informal (no formal labour contract). They would mostly not be required to even report because of low income, the evasion in this case is being done by the employer, where they don't pay labour and the social security equivalent.
Engineering a direct/deterministic map from genotype to phenotype may not be possible. Networks of gene regulation are often complex and interwoven, there are translational steps acting upon the genetic code, and development is driven not only by genes but physical/mechanical/chemical/electrical goings-on.

My point is that even knowing the work culture of SV does not mean that people necessarily believe it applies to interviews too, or that a suit will be a negative point, rather than good or neutral. There is a strong culture of looking smart at interviews that overrides knowledge of day-to-day attire. If you really care about people being in casual clothes, mention it in the invite, rather than looking down on them for doing what has been ingrained to be appropriate.
I'm not sure you answered the question here though, why should that sort of transaction be legal? Is there a compelling public interest in allowing this sort of transaction?
When you setup YouTube kids app, it has an option to allow only the shared/whitelisted/curated content. Don't remember the exact terminology.

Then from your main account, go to a channel, click three dots -> Share with children -> Share. Can do the same with a single video too.

It can be a painful process though. If you want to unshare, you have to find that video and repeat the process. Or unshare it in the youtube kids android app by logging in as a parent first.

Would have been nice if i could share a play list. That way I would only have to modify that play list to add/remove a video.
It will. And define massively. People overestimate and under-specify these numbers. Mostly this is just economics. The cost of 1kwh of battery is trending towards 50$ for manufacturers and trending down over time. So, installing a few kwh/mwh/gwh of battery is not the end of the world depending on your needs.

It's never purely on the buyer or the seller. The price goes up 30%; fewer customers buy them and the ones that do pay more. The business makes less money; they cut some prices to recoup some sales.... maybe to $900. The lot of shirts now sell for $1200.

Basically, market distortions like that are never paid exclusively by one party or the other; instead, it moves the equilibrium point. Both the buyer and the seller are worse off.

Granted, that does take some time.
Unfortunately it’s easy to say something is happening due to certain forces, but much harder to propose solutions. Here, Dalio provides no such advice.

International migration has increased over time, although still representing a very small segment of the population. Presumably that is mostly people fleeing terrible situations (e.g. war torn areas). When you are in a stable country, it doesn't matter so much where in the country you are.

> the [second rock from the [dial ([two-dimensional [your ["the of nowhere"] one can get you grounded] puppet projected on a wall]-based clock)]] de Milo is discovered by a Greek [guy with a [kind of stop for a [vehicle that's a palindrome ]]chfork that's not the [[[a mechanic might look under it] color for a little girl with a wolf problem] spandex halloween costume, maybe]]

Response:

Okay, let's break this down piece by piece:

["the of nowhere"] one can get you grounded] -> "middle" (middle of nowhere), but being sent to "your room" gets you grounded. Let's stick with room.

[your [room] one can get you grounded] -> room (as discussed).

[two-dimensional [room] puppet projected on a wall] -> A 2D projection on a wall is a shadow. (The 'room' clue seems less direct here, 'shadow puppet' is the key).

[dial ([shadow]-based clock)] -> A clock using shadows and a dial is a sundial.

[second rock from the [sundial]] -> The "sundial" represents the Sun. The second rock (planet) from the Sun is Venus.

[vehicle that's a palindrome ] -> racecar.

[kind of stop for a [racecar]] -> pit (pit stop).

[a mechanic might look under it] -> hood.

[[hood] color for a little girl with a wolf problem] -> Little Red Riding Hood's color is red.

[[red] spandex halloween costume, maybe] -> This describes something that is not the pitchfork. A pitchfork is not a red spandex costume. This part confirms the item described earlier.

[guy with a [pit]chfork that's not the [red spandex halloween costume, maybe]] -> Combining "pit" and "chfork" gives pitchfork. A guy with a pitchfork, especially in a Greek context finding an artifact, is likely a farmer (or peasant).

Putting it all together:

The Venus de Milo is discovered by a Greek farmer.

#1, it’s extremely easy to coerce direct copies out of models that artists could be pursued for infringement if they drew, but companies reselling said copyrighted artwork face no penalty

#2, yes, it’s a group of people who came together to build an algorithm that learns to extract features learned from images made by other people in order to generate images somewhere between these images in a high dimensional space. They sell these images and give no credit or cash to the images being “interpolated” between. Notice this doesn’t extend to open source, it’s the commercial aspect that represents theft.

The reality is that laws are meant to be interpreted not by their letter but their spirit. The AI can’t exist without the hard work its trained on, and the outputs often resemble the inputs in a manner that approaches copying, so selling those outputs without compensation for the artists in the training set should be illegal. It won’t be, but it should.
Maybe you should rename your "lifetime duo" to "lifetime trio"?
I agree with you but only for junior engineers. You have to distinguish yourself. A senior should be expected to show competency in something already on their resume, and be able to learn whatever is thrown at them. The bigger priority with interviewing a senior is making sure they aren't bullshitting.
>It took a truly colossal amount of human time and effort to build AI systems. It takes significant amount of energy to run those AI systems.

Those people and effort aren't at all tied to the people who are making and using the art.

In the past every individual person would have to individually study art and some style and practice for years of their life to be able to replicate it really well. And for each piece of artwork it could take them days to make 1 single piece.

I would argue that this is why it wasn't really problematic to copy someone's work or style. Because the individual time and effort per person to even do that was so high.

But now that time and effort for an individual is next to nothing.

Great question!

We actually included a basic form-filling example (data_entry_example.py) in our GitHub repo—definitely give it a spin and see how it goes.

One tip: filling out forms is currently a bit slow since each step runs sequentially. We're actively looking into concurrency improvements (for example, calculating multiple field interactions at once) to speed things up.

Excited to hear how it works for you—feel free to share any issues or feedback you run into!

If you were looking for jobs and had Typescript experience but not React experience, then sure, you might want to exclude jobs that require React experience.

An employer looking for a candidate has no reason to exclude someone with React experience though. If they want a candidate with Express.js experience, candidates may still have both. They just need the positive search in that case.

Current copyright yes.

But do you not for a second think that the current way the laws and rules are set are because of how hard and time consuming it was to replicate work?

This makes alot of business sense, most orgs know better than to homebrew their mail env on (lets be honest here) "basement hosting LLC". So that leaves the people that are spamming/phishing as the core SMTP customer here.

We lost the personal self hosting fight long ago. I used to do it, but now i pay protonmail to do it for me and even that is losing its luster since proton technology IP blocks are pretty radioactive at this point. Some day will have join the outlook or gmail gang which makes me sad; but setting here in my chair staring at my orgs email firewalls and seeing 80+% inbound volume being auto-blocked as spam, bulk or phishing it make me wonder if anything of value was lost.

She was convicted of embezzlement and remains ineligible to be a presidential candidate until the appeal is decided, which will likely happen before the campaign in 2027.

"Freedom" should not mean "being able to commit as much crime as I want without any repercussions." However, this is increasingly the definition right-wing politicians use—for themselves. Notably, this definition does not apply to undocumented immigrants, for example.

>I'm not from USA but this Trump = Russian hoax stuff was very well dispelled

I'm not sure what exactly you're referring to, but it's a fact that multiple Trump companies received funding from Russian sources. However, note that I did not accuse Trump of being a Russian asset. I said he behaves in a way I would expect from a Russian asset. Given that this is Donald Trump, there are various plausible explanations for why he does that.

There are all sorts of things like this, but one that springs to mind is drones, specifically FPV drones. You can build a very good drone from basically parts that runs on open firmware. The videos that you see coming out of Ukraine is clearly using flight control software that is basically the standard for non commercial drones. Nothing more cyberpunk than fighting fascists using open source software and commodity hardware.
Not really.

If you claim to support a particular format, then you're responsible for supporting that format, and there's no reason why a company would do that, if they have no intentions of supporting anyone other than themselves from accessing the data.

"Not supporting" != "Not allowing"

They may not be thrilled by third parties reverse-engineering and accessing their proprietary formats, and can't necessarily stop them, but they are under no obligation to help them to do it, and they are free to change the rules, at their own whim.

Think of Apple, regularly borking cracking systems. It may not be deliberate. They may have just introduced some new data that cracked the crack, but there's no duty to support the crackers.
That number is fake. There's no way to add up to anything within two orders of magnitude without adding extremely specious externalities and permitting rights.
