For my use case I need MSL to support fp64. Until that happens I don't care what hardware changes they make: I'm not going to be filling racks with M5s and they're not producing something I can use to even tinker with AI with in my spare time. Apple has lost the AI war before it even got started IMO.


Did nobody notice that this is a spam blog designed to sell NAD+ supplements?


I noticed the domain and assumed it was another of Dr David Sinclair's scams

The referenced journal article is published in Cell: https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S009286742...


I don't thing they did a bad job in scicomm even though it's a commercial blog


maybe but the article is on cell?


My concern is Cloudflare will implement this plan in a way that makes it very profitable for large players and absolutely kills any new entrants to the market in the future.


...which explains the link to China. NK natives probably do not typically have access to computers or the open internet, but the children of certain elites are educated in China. There may even be a collaborative effort between the two states.


Hey - not everything is bullshit on "Who's hiring" threads. I once got eight rounds of interviews with a company before being ghosted by someone off of an HN thread.


... was it Canonical? :)


Sorry, but how would you ever prove a job ad is fake?

"Were you going to hire someone for this role?" "Yes." "Case dismissed."


How, exactly, would that convince an investor such as myself that your company is suddenly worth more?

Generally when I'm looking at a company's financials more employees means less profitable.


If i post a bunch of ghost/fake jobs, then investros *could potentially* see that as a signal that i am growing, and they should invest NOW before its too late...as one example. Another example, could be that my competition sees "enough/so many open jobs", that they might assume their market position is less than it might be - think of it as a sort of distant intimidation...but also, could be an approach for that competition to get distracted and spin their wheels trying to hire unnecessarily (to try to block up the pool of relevant candidates), thus burning budget in process, etc.


You need to think outside the box. Once you've determined that a particular technological avenue is a dead end, gin up a bunch of job postings that would suggest that you're doubling down on it and watch your competitors set money on fire trying to catch up.

(There's a classic story from the Windows 3.x era regarding pen computing, where Microsoft spent money on it and advertised that solely to force competitors to expend efforts where Microsoft knew there was no payoff)


For sure, you're right that there are vastly more creative and devious ways to leverage jobs against one's competition. :-)


It's common in the investment industry to look at the content/trends in a company's job posts. More job posts are not directly a good thing, but job posts can give insights into the departments or projects that are growing

For example: https://www.linkup.com


Since when are financials in line with stock price these days?


The problem is most "ghost jobs" aren't: They're real jobs with a real intention to hire, but the hiring team can't come to a decision. I've seen it time and time again: A role gets reposted 2, 3, 4 times until the one curmudgeon on the team finally relents and somebody gets hired. It's a tremendous waste of time but it isn't a "ghost job". I predict this legislation will have approximately zero impact on people posting roles that don't actually get filled.


Perhaps, for the slice of the world that you have observed, that might be the case. But, i assure you that ghost jobs are real, and they exist on top of the types of scenarios that you described...so you can imagine that folks trying to land that job have challenges on multiple fronts...and if you live on the side of the team that can benefit when that person is hired, well, you suffer also whenever a role is not filled - either for reasons like you described, or for ghost jobs, etc.


That's a very generous interpretation of what's actually going on out there. Companies post jobs out of vanity. They think they look better when they're hiring. Good data is essential for a good economy. Fake jobs are pollution.


"Allowing" UK residents to access the site? The UK is not the police of the Internet. 4chan is not a UK site and does not have to be aware of UK law. If the UK doesn't like it then it's their responsibility to stop their residents from accessing it. 4chan is complying with all the laws that apply to them.


Which is why it'll probably end up getting blocked at the ISP level for non-compliance.


In Comet I can type "Click on each of the numbered links on the Hacker News front page and summarize them in 3 - 5 sentences each then email me a summary."

This absolutely elevates the speed and simplicity with which I can accomplish certain complex multi-step workflows. The biggest obstacle right now is to expand my thinking to see what else I can do to make use of this power.
