Re:Santa Cruz decriminalizes psychedelic mushrooms

I'm 100% in support of legalization, but as someone who has never lived in a country with decriminalized psychedelics, I'm very interested to see how this is regulated. The potential for chaos seems much higher with mushrooms than cannabis.
Re:Ask HN: What is your ML stack like?

I'm also curious—and maybe someone here can chime in—about how you get organizational buy in for introducing ML. There are a couple of problem areas at my company that I think would be great for ML, but I don't know how to get others onboard.

Had a professor who used to wallpaper his closet with his rejection letters. Was very reassuring to hear that from a successful writer when I was an insecure 17 year old.
Re:Show HN: Layoffs.at – helping people laid off find work

The value-add from this service, I'm assuming, is less on the candidate side and more on the company side.
For context, it is really hard for companies to build a pipeline of candidates for technical roles. If your hiring for a technical role, 99% of the ideal candidates you'd like to hire are already employed.
Big layoffs at tech companies release a ton of qualified, immediately-employable technical candidates into the market all at once. For recruiters, and 3rd party recruiting platforms like this one, these candidates represent a massive opportunity. Any engineer who has been laid off in a big round has had to deal with marketing/outreach from recruiters and recruiting platforms (Hired, AngelList, Vettery, etc.)
From what I see, this platform won't give you, as a candidate, any advantage another platform won't.
