Good. I wish the internet would go the way of the Gemini Project and, by default have privacy-centric behavior. I'm tried to every company thinking I want to be tracked; I do not. I want simple services that do the thing I ask them to

One thing I noticed, which always felt possibly-illegal, was how Binance and other exchanges would frequently freeze up funds that didn't meet minimum withdraws. If a coin fell to too-low of a price, they'd essentially just keep t

I've found maybe 3 or 4 jobs from HN, including some well paying consulting work. It continues to be one of the highest signal to noise ratio places out there.

I got burned on “perpetual” licenses from Avid with Pro Tools. I hate licensing games these days

One of my late life dreams is to be an old man with a beard, pipe and cat living in a lighthouse and staring at the sea. I live in Rhode Island, and seriously want to figure out how to get one of these…

Is there a GitHub repo or similar effort where people have been working on this?

I think rhythmic quirks like this are interesting. Sadly, most music today is over-edited to a click for machine-like perfection. Producers and engineers now are quick to snap anything that's "near" a 4/4 timing to a gri

If you are in a union, this is a good reason to push for recall provisions in regard to layoffs

I dig this as a quick intro. I've worked directly with payments at several orgs now, and yet didn't really grok payments until I read Payments Systems in the U.S. - Third Edition: A Guide for the Payments Professional. Afterward,

Similarly a LimeSDR perhaps?

Using a fraud check service like Sift can help.

I taught at a boot camp from 2013-2015 and it was one of the best moves of my career. I should find a community college to help at

I'm a Principal engineer at a ~300 person organization and I feel a bit stuck/ineffective. In theory, we aligned the ladders in a manner that Principal sits parallel to Directors in the management track. I'm expected to impac

Probably not, but I wonder if it would be prudent to try to ask for pre-hiring retention agreements. If you make me an offer and I accept, if you retract or downsize between that signature and 90 days after starting - then you pay me some a

The biggest differences here are the potential scale, deniability, etc. "We didn't poison the American water system. It did it to itself!"

It is even worse for Rust.

I don’t think it even requires that AI to be sentient or malicious. The humans already are. Given a tool for carnage and hatred, people will use it. How long did it take from us getting the atomic bomb working to use in production? Less tha

Python as a language I find pretty nice. What I don't find is their environment and packaging system compared to something like Rust. "There should be one-- and preferably only one --obvious way to do it.", unless it is how t

Maybe it doesn't really need to fully remember it in order to still do a pretty ok job? I think its ~50 pages of context?

I'm sure a 3% COLA will fix that right up!

I wonder why Amex plays ball with them? They are normally really firm about their chargebacks

Why do you think many people are calling for more regulation on AI? How can that happen if its all open source? https://twitter.com/sama/status/1635136281952026625

I hear two things requested a lot - an open source ChatGPT and more controls on the training/data/usage/etc. How can these two things be held in balance? If it is open source entirely, can't I use the training data and t

I don't have a CS degree, but I did teach at a prominent boot camp for several years. Folks often complain that people out of boot camp don't have foundational knowledge too. Aside from the fact that it would take more than 12 wee

Surely some CEO here, or someone who has worked in HR can illuminate us on how they believe this is true. I once caught a company I worked for in the lie about this. I was advocating for a new employee who didn't want to sign the no-co

Time to test if the regulation after Bear Sterns was sufficient. Surely it was enough to prevent issues as promised
