You're in the UK: take advantage of the various schemes that allow people with disabilities to get guaranteed first interviews.

If you need any software job you might even have luck with graduate schemes at companies like BT who I believe will have similar shortcuts through recruitment for those with disabilities.

Consider adding the widget/action to your quick actions: then to don't need to copy paste at least

Well, we've made other situations where companies offer people money illegal. Such as bribery, or paying someone to steal trade secrets.

But why should it take time at all? Newer developer tooling (especially some of the rust tools e.g. UV) are lightning fast.

Wouldn't it be better if you asked for it and rather than having to manage workers it was just... Done

Nvidia's parakeet https://huggingface.co/nvidia/parakeet-tdt-0.6b-v2 appears to be state of the art for english: 10x faster than Whisper.

My mid-range AMD CPU is multiple times faster than realtime with parakeet.

It mentions ONNX, so I imagine an ONNX model is or will be available.

ONNX runtime is a single library, with C#'s package being ~115MB compressed.

Not tiny, but usually only a few lines to actually run and only a single dependency.

Yes, a company will do very well if it fills itself with naive employees who think that if they work insane hours and sacrifice their life for equity (which they'll never get an exit event for) will do very well.

But you don't want to be that employee...

> This is so unusual of HN

Is it? I see paragraphs of testimony from HN users who love anything whether that's a programming language, web framework, etc.

The main issue I see is that it's impossible to know how hot a pan surface is, and food cooks very differently at the same temperature depending on things like moisture content. So how on earth do you know whether it's at high temperature?

"we validate a method proposed by various authors before"

Does this mean you expect them to add additional analysis to their paper evaluating it against your unpublished work? That's what validating would involve.

I can see an argument for dropping the word novel, but it's a bit semantic as their approach is slightly different and your work isn't part of scientific literature.

I can't see how adding a sentence referencing your work would make sense as it didn't contribute to theirs, and they did not assess it. It would simply confuse. The omission of your work makes it clear they didn't know about it while doing theirs, which provides the accurate context.

Is your objection to the word "Novel" or to the refusal to reference your work?

If they were not aware of your work, which is the only reasonable assumption, then their work is original and independent research. Almost all work is novel, unless you're arguing they have literally copied your work.

Would you be happy if they dropped that single word?

They would only need to cite you if you're a source. Unless they mention your work or results of your work you're not a source. It feels like you're just giving reviewer feedback that they should improve their introduction by giving more context, which is a quality of writing issue not an ethical one.

If they were to mention you the reader would assume they knew about your work before publication, and the next question would be "why haven't they compared their model to their sources"

Simultaneous publication happens all the time, and it's entirely possible for both papers to be novel. Asking the slower paper to redo work and rewrite just isn't practical, and could be a never ending treadmill.

They went through "De Novo" premarket review as their medical device was distinct from any previous devices. This is a higher standard than the normal "510(k)" process. Both tracks involve a lot of evidence, a lot of documents, and a lot of scrutiny from the FDA.

They went through the harder track of FDA approval for medical devices.

I have no idea why you seem to think the primary way for the FDA to approve of new treatments is somehow... not them approving of it?

The wording is really poor. "Pre-market authorization" is their approval process. As in, you don't get to tell anybody that your device has any medical benefit unless we've assessed it.

What's unusual about a proprietary product which has a non commercial use carve out? That's pretty standard isn't it?

Self-employed or small company might not care.

> Maybe less

But how does it impact your average user rating?

What do you mean? The unlimited tier didn't come with AI last time I checked. That's the ultimate tier which costs 2.5x as much to pay for the ai?

Would you be upset if they just paid themselves a higher salary?

Do you think they charge too much?

Do they charge more than you think it's worth?

I'm suggesting that self owned companies are allowed to and often do spend absurd amounts of their spare money on pointless things like marketing or internal transformations.

The difference they don't tell you about their internal accounting so you don't join the dots.

Start ups burn money on silly things like offices way too nice for what they need all the time. That's much closer to unethical than a company with no real duty to outsiders throwing away money.

Re the t-shirts: last time I checked the were private equity not VC and priced their product for profitability not growth.

Would you be upset if they had just donated that excess to charity?

Set all conflicting shortcuts to prefer ide, then set them up again using nonconflicting leader keys.

Are there particularly many vim shortcuts that use ctrl that are important?

You mention you get to learn new skills and technologies; but if they only want to hire people who can immediately do what they need, how does that happen?

Does it involve a bit of stretching your experience?

Uh, I'm working for a startup because it pays more then more established companies and provides better benefits.

I'm not sure why I would work for less unless I was founder, or it was a charity or other public good.

Except the phones do last that long at that price point, it's just the software updates that stop.

I have a 15 year old bog standard Toshiba satellite which wasn't expensive.

You don't get what you pay for with hardware at all.

How does your bank handle 2fa for online, individual, purchase approvals?

In the UK it's SMS, call, or in app approval. In app requires biometrics, or failing that usually a complicated two stage password.

Is there any chance you could share an example of the kind of prompt you're writing?

I'm always reluctant to write long prompts because I often find GPT4 just doesn't get it, and then I've wasted ten minutes writing a prompt

The weird part is that the video conferencing is excellent compared to the equivalents of zoom and Google.

My entire computer can be dying due to intensive cpu load and the teams call is fine. Zoom causes the cpu load. Google doesn't have basic controls.

I'm sure slack is fine but I've never seen anybody use it for external meetings.

Proper HDR support. What's the point of fancy OLED screens when you can't use them?

You have agreed to a contract, so there is debt...

Why do people keep recommending this? If you do this the next step they take is sending your debt to collections, and now you have either ruined credit or a court case.

Why do you need to be comfortable that it won't be embezzled? All systems have inefficiencies. Is 10% of money wasted due to duplicated bureaucracy different impact than embezzlement?

Do you hold charities to the same standard?

I'd rather pay tax and have 50% of it be used inefficiently and have theoretical influence in how it's spent
