We don’t pay any executives or companies to participate in our research. Their incentive is to be be accurately represented in terms of company size, strategy, and positioning because their competitors and potential acquirers read the reports. There are some “pay to play” market research companies but we don’t engage in any of that (it’s basically just marketing), which is often targeted more at end users of the products instead of the vendors and investors.

We do pay end users (IoT and embedded engineers) for their time on surveys and interviews. Drop me an email if you want to be added to our email list. We usually offer a $40 amazon gift card or donation to Doctors Without Borders for a 30 minute survey, and we report feedback on hardware, software, and tools to vendors to help them improve their products.

I'm not clear what you are trying to suggest with that link. The whole point of the claim in the article around sorting is that in Aurora, for using disk to sort, postgres only has access to a relatively small filesystem that runs out of space and can't use the Aurora storage that is actually backing the database.
It made sense in the beginning.

I’m a hobby 3D printer user with four printers, and none use chipped filament. But then at work they don’t consider machines below $5000, and many of them use proprietary feedstocks.

We recently got the new HP Jet Fusion printer [1] which produces wonderful functional parts from nylon and while I don’t operate that machine, I can only assume HP has made it rely heavily on proprietary software and consumables.

I wonder how much the author considers this applicable to lower levels of management, such as team leads? I’m transitioning into a TL role currently, and the “giving up control” aspect is the one which is the least clear to me. A TL is more responsible for technical details around project execution than a manager, so more control is required...but certainly less than working individually. Finding where to draw the line, particularly given that different people working with me have different levels of desire and readiness for autonomy, is challenging.

Even as a TL, the realization that my mistakes can negatively impact my peers is daunting. I have a lot more respect for the pressure that further leadership brings.
The level of communication it enables is thin. Far from even simple conversations and relies heavily on humans having a “theory of non-mind” of the machine.

Not the first time I've seen a service like this. Main site design itself doesn't resonate with me, although the multiple sample images do.

Some nitpicks/thoughts:

* I would have to have a Mac and Sketch to use this. Not unheard of that people will be using other types of services (why not provide me actual web assets?)

* pricing - $2k/month is... it's not unreasonable but for 4 day turnaround time, I may not actually get as much values as working with a local freelancer who has a more transparent workload (and maybe has references I trust).

* Arguing against "on-staff $80k/year designer", then charging $5k/month for 24hr turnaround... it's not a huge savings. Benefit may be I can switch designers from FPP - to get different styles/abilities, but that's not made obvious anywhere I can see. We don't all live in SV, and many areas you can find a reasonably priced designer who you can meet in person for less than $5k/month (I've worked with some).

Not sure who the target audience is here - the unfunded startups I've worked with would not spend $5k/month, and would even balk at $2k/month for a 4 day turnaround time. The funded startups I know would just hire someone, because that's what the funding was for (hiring a team).
This was good, thank you!
Because those people are still being manipulated into making less than optimal choices. Ads are just there to make society worse.
Why do you think that's relevant?

In any case, the same point would apply in the other direction.

The very first example in the article was one where GT gets the words mostly right, but completely misses the point.

And if you miss the point, then the original text hasn't been translated. It's merely been decoded, this is the entire point of the article. Calling what GT does "translation" is wrong.

Yes, there's absolutely value in decoding signs and texts and simple phrases and directions. It allows you to go to a foreign country and get around without speaking the native language. Great. But a phrasebook can do the exact same thing, except it doesn't claim breakthrough AI machine-consciousness bla bla bla.

I'm not as good with words as Hofstadter, so here's his words from the end of the article that summarizes the problem quite nicely:

"I’ve recently seen bar graphs made by technophiles that claim to represent the “quality” of translations done by humans and by computers, and these graphs depict the latest translation engines as being within striking distance of human-level translation. To me, however, such quantification of the unquantifiable reeks of pseudoscience, or, if you prefer, of nerds trying to mathematize things whose intangible, subtle, artistic nature eludes them. To my mind, Google Translate’s output today ranges all the way from excellent to grotesque, but I can’t quantify my feelings about it. Think of my first example involving “his” and “her” items. The idealess program got nearly all the words right, but despite that slight success, it totally missed the point. How, in such a case, should one “quantify” the quality of the job? The use of scientific-looking bar graphs to represent translation quality is simply an abuse of the external trappings of science."

The world view is that what happens in public space is not private; you can't expect privacy for things you do in public.

If you go to a public concert, people can look at you, note that you were here and tell that to others. That doesn't violate privacy because you had no privacy there to begin with. And in a similar manner, if you drove last thursday on a particular road, whoever bothered to look at you and your car is allowed to do so, note that you were there, write it down and tell that to others.

Privacy is about your private stuff - what you do in your private space, what you have in your private items. If you go out in the public, the things that you do (and where, and when, and with whom) are not private anymore.

I think you are expecting too much. Folks are going to click consent buttons in order to use the websites they want to use and never think to go to privacy dashboard and view/modify/delete their data.

Came to say the same. I’ve always assumed the target audience of these machines is just video editing?

It's not a point though. That something is done constitutes no argument that it should be done.
As a developer I kind of get it: "we have all this machinery so we won't compromise to use the simple route even if it makes sense short-term; let's improve our product instead". But as a user I'd expect Google to be at least as good as dictionary lookup from two decades ago, and do PL -> RU or PL -> DE instead of PL -> EN -> RU, PL -> EN -> DE when I type in a single word.
Please don't take HN threads down cliché holes, especially not when personal attack is mixed in with it. Most readers here are familiar with both this issue and how tediously repetitive the complaints about it are. The solution is to keep ourselves focus on what's substantive.

Pretty much it's about sharing expenses. But if I go by myself from A to B, neither expense sharing or common purpose applies. But then B to A is taking my mom/friend as well as myself back home. So that voyage is common purpose and if there are two people the cost of that direction can be split 50/50 (or I can pay a bigger share, I just can't pay less).

Google is not happy with third-party blockers blocking all their ads (e.g. YouTube ads), so they want their own blocker that can show more "Google-friendly" ads. It's all about the moolah...
Off the top of my head:

- Count the lines of code with find | wc, get a sense for what's there, and what language it's written in. The biggest file in the project is usually worth a look -- it is often where the "meat" is. Read the function names.

- Use the program. grep for strings that appear in the UI in the source code. That's a good place to start reading. Read function names.

- strace the program. What system calls does it make when?
ltrace is also sometimes useful, although it also gives a ton of output.

- Look at header files. Understanding data structures is often easier than understanding code.

- Look at commit logs. Those are hidden "comments". And reading diffs can be easier than reading code.

- Do a "log" or "blame" on the file. How has it evolved?

- Start reading main(). This often reveals something about the structure of the program. Even just finding main() in many programs is a good exercise :) Sometimes it's a little hard to find.

- Make sure to build it. And if you can, look at the build system. How is it put together? Most build systems are pretty darn unreadable. I don't really know how to read autoconf, and GNU make is tough too. Forget about cmake :) But sometimes this can help.

I haven't gotten that far with this, but I tried uftrace recently and like it:

https://github.com/namhyung/uftrace

You can think of it like a dtrace that knows about every function in a C or C++ program.

I want to try some kind of code explorer thing. I saw this in a CppCon video and on HN:

https://www.sourcetrail.com/

And older ones like:

https://www.sourceinsight.com/

But somehow I get by with Unix tools. I think this is because I feel like building the project in a way to accomodate the source browsers might be a big pain.

Counterpoint: I think the hardest part of understanding a project is usually the build system :-) I don't have too much of a problem with reading C, C++, Python, or (sometimes) JS code. Volume is always a problem, but I can read a specific function pretty easily. But the build system is where things get ugly, in my experience.

Also, reading multi-threaded code requires some special consideration. grepping for every place that threads are started is a good idea.

As usual, engineers overblow the maintenance cost of using conditionals for the sake of "efficiency." Mobile often lacks features of desktop and this is GOOD. Mobile can NEVER be what desktop is, and when is, it annoys users with complexity. So having seperate-ish layouts is perfectly fine (the bootstrap way.) Further, rebuilding something is always a waste of time because all software dies one day. Let it die and use new tech next time you start a project from scratch. Also maybe have a chat about the mobile view before you start?

Every single problem in this post could be solved by 1. Having a conversation 2. Following the path of least resistance

No engineering solution required.

How does this threaten the security or privacy of the Internet _at all_? Whois data isn't accurate even by horrible standards. They've tried to make it more stringent but I have domains of mine with the wrong address that I'm too lazy to update and it's been wrong for years now. No problem for my Whois records. And to get around whois records, if we as owners of domains want privacy, we have to deal with shady companies that effectively take control of our domain's ownership. Great for selling whois privacy products, but not at all good for internet security.

SSL certificates already aren't good enough to prove the legitimacy of an organization, not even EV ones. Why Whois data would be any use is beyond me.
Hah. I am genuinely confused about which Michael Jordan you were referring to. I am assuming you mean Michael I Jordan.
The problem is that there's a trap here. You and I and every reasonable human can immediately spot when GT produces gibberish, when it's so completely wrong you know it's useless.

But the article had more subtle examples where important nuances are lost in translation, and those are impossible to pick up unless you speak the original language, but we don't speak the original language, because that was the whole point of using GT to start with, right?

Obviously, GT will get better at reducing the gibberish errors, but that just strengthens the trap, because now you will never think it's making any errors, because you lack the knowledge required to know what errors it makes!

Serious question: Who is this for?
I had the same issue. Didn't realize .us required your info to be published. My registrar upsold me their whois guard service, but it sat unredeemedable on my account while spammers harvested my info.
The problem is the lack of IO. If they had at least one SATA port and a PCIe port it would make sense to sell this long term. The only way they could possibly fix this problem is by connecting their chiplink to an external SATA and PCIe controller which means they need to fab another chip. This is going to be expensive so I don't see it happening.
