I'm of the opinion that over-hiring was a strategic move to make hiring more expensive for competitors. Look up those popular profit-per-employee lists that circulate now and then. Spending $1 to make hiring $1 more expensive for your competition makes business sense. And even if Bob and Sue and Jim and Alice have redundant roles in the company, that's three competitors who couldn't fill that role. Does Google _really_ need a South Lake Union office location? Probably not, the entire building is likely redundant. But it siphons talent from the neighbors.

You realize you are responding to a brand new account posting an obviously AI-generated response?

I’m absolutely not AI, I dedicate this morning to technical discussion with HN community on my post, which I’ve spent weeks building the technology behind it

Does the browser expose its accessibility tree instead of the raw dom element tree? The accessibility tree should be enough, I mean, it's all that's needed for vision impaired customers, and technically the ai agent _is_ a vision impaired customer. For a fair usage, try the accessibility tree.

The accessibility tree is definitely useful, and we do look at it. The issue we ran into is that it’s optimized for assistive consumption, not for action verification or layout reasoning on dynamic SPAs.

In practice we’ve seen cases where AX is incomplete, lags hydration, or doesn’t reflect overlays / grouping accurately. It does not support ordinality queries well. That’s why we anchor on post-rendered DOM + geometry and then verify outcomes explicitly, rather than relying on any single representation.

esc is the dismiss-the-modal-and-lose-all-your-work key.

Yes, every time you send a message from an iPhone you MUST append a trailing space, just to be sure it won't fuck up the last word when it sends.

This concept is a duplicate :) we already had r9k

Yep, it's similar in that way, but not in a imageboard/discussion context

Please consider improving the color contrast. The text is gray-on-gray and impossible to read.

To be technically accurate, it would actually need to be a suffusion of yellow for all answers above four.

Thanks for pointing this out!

I probably stared at it for too long on my own monitor and got used to it. I will bump up the contrast in the next update to ensure it's readable for everyone.

So, the Powerbook Duo Dock?

Print out the invoice, write a check, and mail it in?

Print out the invoice, and then send it with a check for $24 and letter requiring them process the check against invoice to their legal department via certified USPS letter.

Ah yes, Microsoft, bringing us back to the 1930's methods of financial transactions.

It is worth a try. I have had really good luck with the US Postal Service. People do not get much mail, so if you send it, someone might actually see it. That will never happen with email or any electronic tools.
