Micron has reached a consensus with its Taichung union. According to an earlier explanation from the Ministry of Economic Affairs, over 80% of employees will receive raises of nearly 2.7 times, with production-line workers going from NT$630,000 to over NT$2 million. Because the adjusted annual salaries are so generous, it has sparked heated discussion among netizens, who exclaimed "Join Micron, let your life shine," while one person said, "One year's pay working on the production line is worth at least three years of mine."
The Ministry of Economic Affairs explained that Micron's published plan shows three major outcomes: First, over 80% of staff get raises of nearly 2.7 times — production-line workers rise from NT$630,000 to over NT$2 million; junior engineers from NT$1.45 million to NT$4 million; and mid-to-senior engineers from over NT$2 million to NT$6 million. Second, the union also secured an increase in the employer's labor pension contribution to 10%, better than the industry norm. Third, for frontline production-line shift workers, the day-shift allowance will triple, from NT$1,500 to NT$4,500.
The raise plan has made many netizens envious. Comments on social media included: "Join Micron, let your life shine," "Get a master's in EE/CS from NTU, Tsing Hua, or Chiao Tung and join Micron — you'll be making NT$3 million+ by your second year," and one person exclaimed, "The world is turning into something I don't recognize. Cars will fly, Micron line workers could make NT$2 million a year next year — what's impossible now?"
Others lamented: "Sorry, turns out I'm the one dragging down Taiwan's average salary," and "One year's pay on the production line is worth at least three years of mine." Someone else said: "Doctors' incomes are about to lose to Micron line workers. There's no entry barrier this time — will doctors switch careers en masse?"
Often times common crime (petty/violent) is viewed as a totally different area as white-collar crime or corruption. But they’re related.
As someone who’s had bikes stolen and car broken into, I sympathize with the desire for surveillance (especially in San Francisco). But Flock has no safeguards against cops using it to stalk ex-wives or misusing a partial match.
For PPTX and DOCX, this solution is slightly worse than libreoffice conversion (this does not appear to output highlightable text, while PDF conversion does).
However, the XLSX preview BLEW my mind considering this was AI coded. Really good, even interactive!
They're using ChatGPT, Gemini, or Claude on the web.
Cloudflare will even do it for free.
In two years I bet we’ll be seeing v8 level performance out of CPython.
However, since this is Hacker News, I must say I'd probably enjoy building this myself using TTS and LLM APIs...
Insane take. Reddit hosts deep threaded discussions on almost any topic imaginable. In its prime it was the best forum on the internet. There’s a reason people commonly add “reddit” to the end of their search queries.
Unfortunately it feels like the community has gotten much dumber after they banned third party apps and restricted API access. It’s also lost almost all of its Aaron Swartz style hacktivist culture.
Reddit, in its prime, was incredible and beloved by almost everyone I know (most of which are far outside the HN sphere)
We used to take security so seriously.

People get burned when measuring the “out” part because our bodies want to hold on to as much energy as possible.
This is the first decent video generation model that runs on consumer hardware. Big deal and I expect ControlNet pose support soon too.
Even tho I own Cloudflare stock we can’t let them get too powerful…
