beacon294··on Twitter kills its San Francisco headquarters, will relocate to South Bay
What did you mean by "move to south bay for good for worse"? I just couldn't parse your meaning.
beacon294··on July 2024 Update on Instability Reports on Intel Core 13th/14th Gen Desktop CPUs
Just to clarify do you mean employees marketing and selling their innovation skills or people literally in marketing and sales?
beacon294··on July 2024 Update on Instability Reports on Intel Core 13th/14th Gen Desktop CPUs
Oh yeah, this got rehashed as builders versus talkers too. Yeah, there's a lot of this creative vibe type dividing. It's pretty complicated, I don't even think individual people operate the same when placed in a different context. Usually their output is a result of their incentives, so typically management failure or technical architect failure.
beacon294··on No one expects young men to do anything and they respond by doing nothing (2022)
We've never done it that way -- there's no historical precedent. America has done well, so it doesn't make a lot of sense to change that particular thing so radically after over 130 years of similar, but varying, immigration rates to today.

Could you elaborate on the process people versus product people?

Immigration has always been big and has gradually picked up speed. The idea of immigrants going home does not make any historical sense, neither does stopping immigration.
beacon294··on CrowdStrike Update: Windows Bluescreen and Boot Loops
Do you have some more details?
beacon294··on A Journey into Rebel-Held Myanmar
Hi Charles, I can't read your devex article about interfacing with local governments unfortunately due to some sort of login wall.

What if, instead of struggling to acknowledge local pariah governments, aid organizations ONLY recognized local governments?

beacon294··on Panic at the Job Market
OP, one common mistake is overthinking the interview process. I know it is bullshit, but it helps to think of it as an adjacent but mainly orthogonal skill to everyday work.

I am also allergic to playing the game, but I got ground down in my twenties and now I am happier than ever simply accepting the imperfections of the world, and sometimes even getting a chance to improve part of one.

Try applying the midwit meme from your post to the interview process "If I get hired, it worked."

Thanks, simple is good. I guess this can be automated a bit more with some sort of firefox browser plugin.
beacon294··on Show HN: Magic-cli – A copilot for your command line
It's a muscle you build. If you're using vim then you'll like it better. You have to imagine the ex mode buffer.

What is your workflow to consume this via llm?
beacon294··on A Review of Linux on Surface Pro 4
Oh thanks, that is super helpful to keep my state if I accidentally hit fn-f1 which the manufacturer hardcoded to sleep. One likely blocker is that I think restart also crashes my wireless card. Maybe hibernate will work.

Going to test this tonight.

You can also use esc-v to get to the editor if you switch your input to vim mode with "set -o vi" in your .bashrc file.

Or for extra points ^[v which will serve as a handier escape, as well.

I use hibernate on the Acer Swift X 2022 edition and it's incredibly nice. Sleep crashes the wireless card though...
beacon294··on How to Know When It's Time to Go
It's actually still super popular at many or most large companies. Not small companies.
beacon294··on Making my own wedding rings
That's great! They will also print in gold if you ever want to upgrade. I had a backup printed recently, after 7 years, and it's exactly the same as the original. I was worried about process changes or tolerance issues, but had none.
beacon294··on Making my own wedding rings
That's nice. I did something similar. By the deadline, I ended up just having shapeways cast my STL files. Ring is very nice, even if I merely designed it in OpenSCAD.

I did manage several failed castings.

beacon294··on Private firms and open sources are giving spies a run for their money
Yet still so low that I had to cancel my paper subscription. Their ratio is too skewed towards noise.
beacon294··on Why is Chile so long?
Is there any available information about this?
beacon294··on Hans Hollein: Everything Is Architecture
It's the english language tradition. There are style guides and such, but people are mostly working around them these days.
beacon294··on I am using AI to drop hats outside my window onto New Yorkers
This is a clever use of AI marketing. I'd still be interested in "I'm using computers to drop hats outside my window onto New Yorkers."
beacon294··on Language is primarily a tool for communication rather than thought [pdf]
Or "is language just a thin common interface covering a variety of internal implementations?"
beacon294··on DJI ban passes the House and moves on to the Senate
The Chinese government is playing the "kill competitors with price cuts" game on the national level by not floating their currency AND subsidizing their major international tech. Eventually someone will foot this bill. They hope the marbles they gain will be worth the cost.
beacon294··on DJI ban passes the House and moves on to the Senate
All good points, and it's painful to see you flagged likely by some political operation.
beacon294··on Experts vs. Imitators
What is your expertise?
beacon294··on The Raspberry Pi 5 Is No Match for a Tini-Mini-Micro PC
Yes I pay $4/watt/year in bay area.
beacon294··on Employees who stay in companies longer than two years get paid 50% less (2014)
Ramping up at a new company also costs employees time, so even though the employer has to pay this fee more, so does the employee. So the employer can play chicken on this and eat the cost more statistically than the employee.
beacon294··on I sold TinyPilot, my first successful business
I have heard of both monthly and quarterly. Monthly is obviously better, I am curious what companies vest the stock monthly.
beacon294··on I sold TinyPilot, my first successful business
Thanks, that is my same experience as at my bigtech.
