Ask HN: Has anyone quit a job after the first week? Feeling like a total failure
I recently joined a later stage company amidst a major shakeup as the only IC PM. I have had no ramp up time. Now 1 week in I’m being blamed for not adequately taking ownership of my new role, not being assertive enough with key stakeholders and lacking the political savvy to drive product. It feels like I was hired to be scapegoated.

I have never felt like such a failure. I hardly sleep. I have no time to think before I’m bombarded with another litany of demands and questions over why something hasn’t been finished.

I have over 5 years of experience and it has never been this stressful and demeaning.

Technically FTX/Alameda was able to repay investors and consumers so did SBF cause financial harm?

He definitely did fraud (a crime), but did he cause financial harm?

Similarly does Money Laundering (a crime) cause financial harm?

> Why should I learn to do X if I can just ask an LLM and it will do it better than me

The same way you answer - "Why should I memorise this if I can always just look it up"

Because your perceptual experience is built upon your knowledge and experiences. The entire way you see the universe is altered based on these things, including what you see through your eyes, what you decide is important and what you decide to do.

The goal of life is not always "simply to do as little as possible", or "offload as much work as possible" but lots of the time includes struggling through the fundimentals so that you become a greater version of yourself, it is not the complete task that we desire, it is who you became while you did the work that we desire.
I genuinely think it's rational.

Not clever, or justified, or well though out, or based on any solid evidence. But there's probably a rationale behind it.

Now, ideally, we shouldn't have to care what the rationale was if there was any way of just getting back to "normal", but the same way Mao wasn't a flash in the pan, I assume we're looking at a few decades of it for the US as well.
To be honest not really!

I get the output from the LLMs, compile into a report, and then pass it back through an LLM to sense check the result with the added context of what's been requested in the report, but I'm not super happy with the outcome still, some different categories still come out a bit of a mess.
But infinitely rich companies can of course bankrupt any ordinary human by suing them over and over again. They already look bad, so it doesn't make them look worse. Why wouldn't they just keep suing her?
you will benefit from the beauty of appreciation, lad, just hang on a little bit longer. It is beautifully explained in this essay https://www.astralcodexten.com/p/the-colors-of-her-coat
When the economy slows down companies start getting rid of workers regardless of any technology. It's one of the first levers they pull.

Some companies looking to get rid of even more workers might search for new technologies that they hadn't considered before but which could enable them fire more people, or they might accelerate existing plans to replace workers with technology to get rid of them even sooner.

AI is different though because companies are fully aware of it and they are already moving as fast as they can. They have been salivating at the thought of using AI to fire their workers for years now and they're already making every effort to replace workers anywhere it seems feasible to do so. They are in such a hurry that it sometimes results in embarrassing failures like this one: https://www.motorbiscuit.com/airline-ai-chatbots-refund/

Like you say, the world is messy, which means there is no rule saying that companies must leave massive piles of cash sitting on the table until the economy gets bad enough for them to reach out and take it. Shareholders won't accept that. Any company that sleeps on firing their workers when AI can do the job will get absolutely crushed by their competitors who don't sit on their hands.
Going on the record that I agree everything AI originated should be marked as such and carry strict liability for the generator to disincent careless, untested implementations.

AI is crack cocaine for capitalists. It has all the trappings of salaryless, ownable labor, and we should stop acting like it's entire purpose isn't to become just that.

The hallmark of a competent practitioner of an art is to recognize when one is potentially doing harm. Technologists over the last 10 years have eschewed this responsibility to society over the last decade or so, and we really need to rein in the excesses we're equipping the market with to the detriment of society.
It's usually not "dollars." It could be any investment or service that could be bought using dollars. And calling foreign investment an "export" is just confusing.
Well, they reproduced so we could exist now. Definition of ancestors.
Only PCREs are exponential time, in service of a feature you basically never need. Regexes are always linear time.

They can take exponential space, though, so I'm not sure why knowing you'll be able to process the data in linear time is supposed to keep you safe.
>Otherwise most normies will slowly, subconsciously lose faith in our industry and repairing that trust and confidence will take generations.

They should. Most of AI is a scam. Much of tech's business model is duping the "normies" and bleeding them dry.
I don't think there's any ulterior motive here beyond people just wanting magic to be real.
Hmm.

The problem is that China holds only 2.6% of US Debt as of February 2025. Can they leverage that small a percentage to make a market move like that? Especially assuming they didn't dedicate all of their holdings to that action?

idea is it auto-populates all ur contacts from all sources (iMessage, Gmail, Outlook, etc). Right now, we are only dealing with gmail and outlook. But it's sorta fun; it finds everyone you know and generates a profile for them.

Let me know if it sucks (cuz again.. trying to kill it).

We have two second hand bookstores in my area. One of them has changed hands a couple of times over the years, so I don't think they make a ton of money, although they are in a large, albeit older, retail space so they must do ok. The other keeps expanding in adjacent spaces, but seems to make a lot of their money selling book adjacent stuff (socks, bookmarks, pins, candles) instead of actual books. In fact the owner regularly stocks several of those free libraries around town and always has free books outside of her store.
Git doesn’t really care at all about the content. Nix does. Really they’re not reasonably comparable at all.
I get almost all of my books from charity thrift stores and Friends of the Library shelves. If you read widely you generally can find something interesting for a dollar or so. I almost never go to a bookstore looking for something specific, though.
Companies hiring for remote positions shot first by creating fake openings to game candidates for their interests, salary expectations and skills. Repeatedly.

It's hilarious that the same technique is now being used against them and companies are angry and frustrated. Too bad they are not actually human to understand what those feelings mean.
You can only sell medication after trials. The first trials were on young women, and later trials on other groups. Nobody wanted to pay for trials on all demographics before there was evidence it worked from cheaper, more focused trial. There are also barriers to doing trials on high risk groups like the elderly without first testing on lower risk demographics.

This is one reason why so much medication not to be used by pregnant women. The trials have not been done, and trials involving pregnant women are particularly expensive and risky.
> It's called Content Security Policy, not Content Performance Policy

As is often the case with security, the downsides of locking something down may not be worth the increased security .

Another reason not to prohibit inline scripts and stylesheets is if you need to dynamically generate them (although I think strict-dynamic would allow that).

> External resources can be cached across multiple pageloads.

That only matters if the resource is actually shared across multiple pages
When everyone feels this way instead of fighting for the future they want to make reality... There are journalists, protestors, entrepreneurs, unionists, billionaires, etc, all fighting for what those history books will say. Ukrainians are fighting for what they will say right now.

I think a better question is what do you want them to say. Do you want them to say tyranny triumphed un-resisted?
One of the benefits of having a lot of scandals. Will get buried in the noise. Those that care about this kind of stuff already hated meta, those that don't care won't start caring now.
A lot of our “value chain” is bullshit. If and when China becomes twice as big an economy as the US, much of our “edge” in marketing, finance, and services isn’t going to mean squat. E.g. how much “GDP” will evaporate overnight when American universities no longer have the cachet that comes along with being the best universities in America?
Instead of just shutting down your phone, reboot it and enter the wrong password twice. With any luck, this will erase the memory remnant imprint of the actual password. After doing this, you can then shut it down if you want.
Reluctantly agree.

Can't really count on more and more currencies these days. Including our own here in the US.

For what it’s worth, nothing in this article is really necessarily for general usage of Nix, as the derivation format is mostly abstracted-away, like how the OCI image format is irrelevant to everyday authoring of Dockerfiles.
I'd love to know the reference for that. I've read a couple of Feyerabend's books, but it was years ago, and I gave them away, but would not mind taking another look.

No Pay, No Work; Early Career Lessons
The problem is convincing the public to do this. That's going to be an uphill struggle considering the inconveniences of wiping and restoring a phone. The chilling effects these kinds of policies have on people is another major factor.

The alarming thing is, we all do have something to hide now, unless you're full MAGA. When anything vaguely critical of the current administration can be used as grounds for detention without due process, every bit of information on our phones becomes "sensitive."
> It uses the pcre-heavy Haskell library which in turn calls out to the system-wide pcre C library for actually compiling and running the regex.

That's not true regular expressions, but a backtracker with eclectic features.

The regex used in the regex solution is just:

mul\((\d+),(\d+)\)

not requiring PCRE.

If Haskell happens to provide bindings to the POSIX regcomp/regexec stuff, that would be something to try instead. \d has to be replaced with [0-9], needless to say.
I heard about her book, I also heard about lawsuit threats from Facebook. Facebook is a rich company so a threat from them to sue you is a serious threat. I'm sure they threaten to sue people to try to quash uncomfortable information as do probably lots of companies. Are you thinking she made up the threatened lawsuits?

British style sockets/plugs are the best. I find that two pin plugs are always falling out of the sockets.

They're trying to get in on the AI IDE / AI coding land rush so they don't have to acquire one of the leaders later. Or get blocked from acquiring one for antitrust reasons. Winning a chunk of this space feels like a major chess move that enables a lot of market optionality.

Google and Microsoft both have web IDEs, so it's a natural product evolution for these (though Microsoft's Github is much better positioned with its deep distribution and integrations).

It still feels like these are so far behind Cursor and Zed and the like in terms of getting real work done, but maybe the customer is new or non-engineers.

I haven't looked at startups like Replit. Are they even in this game?

And then there are the end-to-end products like Vercel's V0, Lovable, Bolt, etc. If they can get past the 80% problem, they might be a huge deal.

This is going to be quite the battle.
Why would anything be a waste of time?
This is weirdly effective as one of those "surprising facts" you can drop to reliably get some "oh, really? Wow"s even though it's right in the name of our nation's capital (Washington, District of Columbia)
There was nothing to do back then. And if there was, it was crazy and/or reserved for the feudal lords. The primary income of the state was through alcohol taxes. Countries thought it was okay to invade other countries just to make themselves bigger/stronger countries. Nationalism, racism, sexism were the norm. Most people can't read/write. Information is scant and passed on by word of mouth.
Turns out you only need majority in 4 different contests that are all constantly fluctuating around 50%.

FIFA to recognise Afghanistan women's team but comes too late for World Cup
Granting the Trump administration “extraordinary relief” to continue deporting people is absolutely a decision. You can say “we didn’t rule on that issue” a hundred times in a row if it makes you feel better, but if you go out of your way to make sure the government can continue to exercise power under an absurd legal justification, you’re making a very explicit choice.

It’s this kind of legal storytelling, by which you pretend you didn’t authorize something, while actually taking actions that ensure it’s authorized in practice, that is the worst enemy of the rule of law.

I’ve been using this for a while now and I really enjoy it. I ran into a semi-obscure bug and emailed them and they basically fixed it the same day.

I do wish there was a mobile app though (or maybe an iOS keyboard). It would also be nice to be able to have a separate hotkey you can set up to send the output to a specific app (instead of just the active one).
It depends entirely on what the trading volume is, and I don't know. But again IMHO it's critically important that someone find out.
Parser combinators are great until you need to parse something real, like CSV with embedded newlines and Excel quotes. That’s when you reach for the reliable trio: awk, duct tape, and prayer.
And yet all the people who created all the advances in AI have extremely traditional, extremely good, fancy educations, and did absolutely bonkers amount of homework. The thing you are talking about is very aspirational.
I would be very happy to be proven wrong here.

But I view parser combinators in the same lens as lenses, another powerful approach to solving a specific problem that is unlikely to receive mainstream recognition because of all the Haskell.
It would be cool if we could click/tap on a high score and see their board.
> You can end up in legal quandary where you fight over exactly what NDA can and cannot cover. Congressional Subpoena would put her on much firmer legal standing

A corporate NDA cannot prevent you from cooperating with a Congressional hearing.
She wrote a whole book about it, and yes that’s more or less her claim. Her telling is that she tried to avoid touching China policy as long as possible until she was forced into it, largely as retaliation for reporting sexual harassment from Joel Kaplan. Kaplan and Zuckerberg were directing most of the China policy personally so she had little to no ability to overrule them.

Seriously yes. I don’t want to own rapidly depreciating hardware if I don’t have to.

I don’t want to own open source software and I’d prefer if culture was derived from and contributed to the public domain.

I’m still fully on board with capitalism, but there are many instances where I’d prefer to replace physical acquisition with renting, or replacing corporate-made culture with public culture.

Love the intro articles you wrote!
The main advantage of recursive descent parsing is readability. Forget the machinery of the parser, which is (a) trivial enough that AI will generate correctly it for you with next to no prompting, and (b) widely available in libraries anyway. The win is writing a parser that reads like the grammar it implements, which means changes to your grammar are easy to apply to your parser.

Regexes are effectively write-only. If you change the grammar parsed by a regex, you're probably going to discard the regex and make a new one.

Windows kind of has this in the form of UFW. You can have either a RAM or disk based overlay for your C: partition and all writes will go to the overlay, which can be wiped. Except there are specific paths which must be excluded otherwise Windows craps itself. You also have to set up the overlay after the sysprep phase which inits drivers and stuff.

I agree, the effects of fluoride probably aren't in the top 5 things to be concerned about (although perhaps they are from a political perspective, with it becoming such a strong topic of debate for a variety of reasons). But do you assume that getting to n=10,000 is going to show little or no effect (e.g. having a level you define as little effect)? I'm not convinced the NTP data is extremely high quality and can't make much conclusion from it on the effects.

Also, for other commenters: the 2832 children number I believe comes from the supplemental content from the supplemental material for the NTP Fluoride Monograph: https://cdn.jamanetwork.com/ama/content_public/journal/peds/... (this url is very long because of some hashing measure, sorry: if it is no longer accessible, it is the supplemental content for doi:10.1001/jamapediatrics.2024.5542), on page 51 of the PDF. I have a small summary table of data I view relevant here:

The columns are:

* Studies used; Fluoride Exposure; Number of Studies / Number of Observations (number of Children)

* Estimate for slope in linear Model, given as increase in IQ points per mg/L increase (95% CI) (p value)

All studies; < 2mg/L; 8 / 10 (N = 3682); -0.18 (-0.40, 0.03) (p = 0.096)

All studies; < 1.5mg/L; 7 / 7 (N = 2832); 0.05 (-0.36, 0.45) (p = 0.816)

Low risk of bias studies; < 2mg/L; 4 / 5 (N = 1632); -0.33 (-0.53, -0.13) (p = 0.001)

Low risk of bias studies; < 1.5mg/L; 3 / 3 (N = 879); -0.32 (-0.91, 0.26) (p = 0.276)
