Exactly. The way to improve performance on a lot of AI problems is to get past the human tendency to individualistic AI, where every AI implementation has to deal with reality all on its own.

As soon as you get experience-sharing - culture, as humans call it, but updateable in real time as fast as data networks allow - you can build an AI mesh that is aware of local driving conditions and learns all the specific local "map" features it experiences. And then generalises from those.

So instead of point-and-hope rule inference you get local learning of global invariants, modified by specific local exceptions which change in real time.
It seems like if they get popular they're going to run into problems with sidewalk availability. We're already using them for walking. You can add a few robots and not have any blowback, but once the novelty wears off, having to navigate around slowpoke robots on your walk is going to get old.
You can also cancel the NYTimes by chat. Still painful, but easier and faster than by phone.

I wanted to do this as well, but it honestly takes so much time to change payment details on a lot of services. All my utilities for example are on auto payment through my credit card, I need to go to a physical store to change that.

I always found this aspect of English, uniquely naming sets of animals, to be simultaneously adorable and thoroughly useless and anachronistic.

Is there a defence of this flock of birds, mischief of mice, whateverthefuck of whosits system? (Does it have a name?) Do all linguistic systems do it?

> none of that would have made any difference to China at the time of Mao

Mao was long dead when the relevant treaties were negotiated.

> CIA probably did try things at some point but clearly to no effect because there is no 'dissident movement' of any scale

In the late 90s, the West best over backwards to accommodate China. It was a new market and stable Asian power.

Modern China has dissident and separatist movements. The NPC has prioritised legislation precisely to head off the threat. Censors scrub the Hong Kong and Tianamen Square protests for similar reasons.

> why did Mao stop short of retaking Macao and HK, and of taking Taiwan in 1949?

He didn’t have the firepower. Water crossings are taxing. It would have taken a full military commitment, and still left the endpoint uncertain. Consolidating power on the mainland was the more prudent move.

I actually helped create workflows like the for fitness clubs. If member had not worked out for 2 weeks, massive encouragement, we miss you etc.. more than 5 weeks... nothing..

I now a club once sent a simple questionaire to members who had not worked out in a long time.. just to gage why.. massive cancellations followed.
To say no one cared is going too far, but it is interesting to think about why something like this was able to happen.

There were various technical and structural factors making it difficult to fix. Weather feeds were known to be problematic (still are I guess) and this code would have been surprisingly low-level C/C++ with custom serialisations and limited logging. Structurally there were problems in getting attention from a team in California to support a problem experienced by a different team in London, especially since it affected relatively few users - a tension in supporting paid products in a company that is focused on non-paying users at far greater scale.

(I am assuming this bug would have needed some actual development work - I don't recall, but I think we were familiar enough with common ops problems that it wasn't just a question of kicking one of our own feed servers.)

But I do think there was an issue about lack of concern - at heart we didn't have enough confidence in our own product to motivate the personal pain of working through these problems and getting them solved. I think that, if you had gathered us together and asked our collective opinion, we would have suggested that this customer would be better off not using our product at all - it simply wasn't ever likely to be good enough. Once you reach that way of thinking about your own product, it becomes extremely hard to countenance fixing the most difficult problems with it.
So maisonette is clearly English as well, yes? Or baguette? Or kindergarten? That's some great logic there.
Of course they should be provided. The problem is that onboarding processes usually are so complicated that the organizers forget things. It's okay to remind them.
Paypal allows canceling subscription but they have hid this link deep inside. I don't know how well that even works. Also, Paypal payment protection is basically a joke. If you get dupped by someone and try to get refund through their payment protection, you get nothing no matter how right you are. That's my first hand experience.

> After a few posts like that, it starts to to feel like maybe a big chunk of the problem might be her.

I don't really blog, but I occasionally write lyrics. All of them are bitter and critical, so over a the years I accumulated a collection of that. That's not because I'm a bitter person, it's because I only ever write lyrics to complain. When I'm happy, I sing and dance, I code or call friends, I do a million things and not ever write lyrics. Similar with forums: I vote to agree, I respond to disagree or correct or add a link.

Anyone who tried to judge me, as a person, by that and other output without even having met me, because things "start to feel" or "sound" a certain way (for everyone, in their mind), can come up with all sorts of "assessments", many of them mutually exclusive. It's a fine waste of time and that's all it is.

But I don't think the fallacious extrapolation of web output to the whole person is the sole cause here. After all, if someone's blog is full of things they installed and described their first steps with, without any follow-up posts about their in-depth, day-to-day usage of the thing, people wouldn't pile on to point out that this person "seems like" they constantly change stacks, without getting to know any of them. And if someone had a blog with just the crazy retro hacks they do, we wouldn't assume they don't have a phone or have never seen a modern game. And so on. But when someone writes a lot about negative work experiences, without mentioning the good ones, they must be a terrible person and think they're better than everyone else, naturally. Except it's not ever put that bluntly, e.g.

> it starts to to feel like maybe a big chunk of the problem might be her

1. starts to
2. feel like
3. maybe
4. a big chunk
5. might be

out of 71 chars in that quote, 40 belong to weasel words.

That and other comments lead me to suspect it might be the confidence and the chutzpah to talk back publically and not sugar coat things. If people can't be snarky on their own blog without people who never met them, and don't even know the company they describe, much less worked for it, telling everybody what kind of person the author might be... how about a union at least?

Meanwhile HN wonders how a BBQ grill could ask to be the default browser, and I can tell you exactly how: a bunch of people went along to get along, and/or conditioned themselves to consider any inane crap awesome and a great growth opportunity.
We switched to cluster version of VictoriaMetrics, and we are very happy about it.

For most of these, the net result is that the compiler behaves strangely, but the programs that compile still work as intended. These are intermediate to advanced Rust concepts, and most programmers can eventually learn them from experience fighting with the compiler.
It's B2B in a commodity market where competition abounds. Manufacturers like Mazda, Hyundai, etc. don't have crew cab trucks in their lineup, so is doesn't make sense that a corporation would choose to sign a contract in good faith with a manufacturer that "forces" unwanted liability on its books in exchange for volume if executives of the former didn't perceive overall net outcome as favorable.
> No one cares, it's the concept that matters. This is on the same tier as saying "haha hey buddy looks like you typed 'there' instead of 'their' haha #rekt".

While the content / concept is the main point, facts matter. Even if it is ancillary to the intended message. Why suffer misinformation no matter how small?
> painful and unappreciated role

I think the fact that an outcasts are unappreciated is an inherent correlation. Being influenced by appreciation is mostly useful for getting individuals to adhere to the behavior of the group.

As for it being painful? That's all relative. Individuals tend to choose the actions that result in the most reward and least pain, so outcasts probably choose to be outcasts because following the group must produce not as much reward or even more pain.
It'll be "We heard our community's feedback.". "Many of you responded passionately to our announcement.".

God damn corporate spin pretending nothing bad ever happens..
None of these problems are really a result of containers.

People now call native installs "bare metal" installs.

I've developer for linux on the machine, and in a container.

Once you get the container mentality and start writing dockerfiles it creates a pretty predictable organized haven.
Interesting, but I wouldn't draw too much out of the matrix. The matrix is a nice movie, but made in Hollywood. So it is also part of the establishment. If I were you, you should also distrust its message.

Who says its goal was not to demoralize the rebel from taking action?

I think the shitposters of the 'anime right' feel we are living more and more in a dystopian corporate crime ridden hellscape. They want to go back to their youth or to a fictitious past. If you ask them what they want, a lot of them wants a traditional family, a farm and a nice green patch around them. It are modern day romantics in their core.

They fear what is coming next. And you remember perhaps what is said about fear: "Fear is the path to the dark side. Fear leads to anger. Anger leads to hate. Hate leads to suffering."
Interesting analysis, thanks for sharing.

Buying a house and suddenly getting your water cut off because the county"doesent feel like it" is also similarily a "conscious" decision, and similarily bites you only a time after you bought something.

You might say that's illegal, and I'd recommend thinking about why that has become the way it is. Things are deemed important to everyday life, and suddenly they aren't free game.

Here I'm talking about the value of one particular claim: `scope`. If you identify each scope by only one character it would be limited to the size of your alphabet.

If you talk about claim names, they basically aim to be short. For instance, claims defined in RFC7519 Section 4.1 (https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc7519#section-4.1) are only 3 characters long. As explained in the same section:

"All the names are short because a core goal of JWTs is for the representation to be compact."
I am totally the type of person who values software expediency, and has a lets just get shit done attitude.

But people like the author who have the opposite attitude are also invaluable. There are parts of your code base at an organization that need to work, where doing the expedient thing is doing the wrong thing. People who went told to don't worry about that just ship the damn thing, fight back so your entire organizations infrastructure doesn't fall down on itself.

It's more about finding the right person for the job.
There's a difference between a dark pattern and a bad pattern. I don't think this is either, but it of itself is certainly not a dark pattern, one that's intentionally used to mislead.

Observability – The Two Hemispheres
The intermediary services themselves (by Apple and Google) are surely no scams, I'd consider that a certainty even on the simple observation that they already are ridiculously effective money making schemes when they are entirely honest.

But it's not quite clear unfortunately how much protection they actually offer. A bad player could still try to enforce some hidden EULA small print that claims to empower them to ignore the cancellation and send bills the old fashioned way after cancellation on the intermediary. I really don't know if Apple or Google are taking effective steps against schemes like that or if they have just been lucky so far that those scammers are still finding enough prey outside of the walled gardens.

(ps: re-reading this comment I find myself sounding more critical than intended, actually I love subscribing through that kind of intermediary, I'd even consider paying extra. I'm just afraid that the protection offered might not be quite as strong as it seems)
Considering this apparent questionable behavior, and the dark patterns people are mentioning on HN... was the original business entirely legitimate?

I've found the currently en vogue leetcode grinding and whiteboard hazings to be questionable, and I'm wondering this scandal will prompt anyone to reconsider the whole sketchy institution of software developer "tech tests".

She ducked out of the onboarding early. When I onboarded at my current company, desk assignment was the last thing that happened- once they sat you down at your desk, HR was done with you and you were your manager's problem now. So if she peaced out of onboarding at noon and desk assignment happens at 3, I can easily see how she slipped through that particular crack.

Regardless, if there's a problem, it's the company's fault. If you don't try to fix the problem, it's your fault. It may or may not have been her fault that she wasn't assigned a desk on day 1. But it was definitely her fault that she didn't have a desk on day 3.

IMHO navigating bureaucracies and getting institutional stuff like this fixed is a really important skill that software developers tend to be awful at. My first "job" out of high school was in the air force- so navigating institutional garbage and persuading ineffectual people to do their damn job is something I'm pretty good at. But now I look around at frustrated young devs who don't know how to navigate the bullshit, and it drives them bananas. This article is a prime example. There are basically three kinds of problems:

1. Problems you fix yourself.
2. Problems other people fix, but only once you complain (loudly enough) about them.
3. Problems that are never gonna get fixed, no matter what.

Developers tend to be really good at the first kind, absolutely terrible at the second, and fixate (to their detriment) on the third. If you can't fix it, don't stress about it. And don't stew about something you can fix with an email.
It's super slick. Runs pretty good in docker on the Pi if you just want to tinker without making a mess. I'm using it to do process control for a small fractional distillation apparatus. It's doing temp monitoring, production monitoring (by weight) and using a PID loop to manage heat input. Takes a minute to figure out how it works but once you get used to the message format you can stack on functionality extremely quickly. With MQTT adding functionality from other devices is super easy too.

Overall have had a really good experience with it. My only complaint is that it's not multi-threaded, so if you have a process that blocks (e.g. the dallas 1-wire library for reading temp sensors) then you'll stall the flows. Most of those issues have simple workarounds though.

I always wonder why P2P applications don't just use Tor hidden services to communicate:

- NAT hole-punching for free

- end-to-end encrypted for free

- peers identified by a hash of their public key, so no CA or similar required

- no metadata leakage

It seems like the perfect solution, but hardly anyone does it.

The point is, that, yes, sure, show initiative, be a team player, plus be willing to stand up to corporate bullshit, but also work with the givens constructively, etc.

But that doesn't matter if there is noone from the other side (manager, other team members), that help to bring the newcomers into the fold.

How come someone was just given an MBP and let loose on her first days without literal supervison?

> Everyone with a high-mid-range PC already has more horsepower than a PS5 and it’s not doing anything particularly innovative or groundbreaking.

The fact that it can stream 5.5gb/s from disk to RAM says otherwise. Commodity hardware, even high end m.2 drives can’t match that.

* it’s my understanding that it directly shares RAM between the CPU and the GPU which means way less latency and more throughput.
This is how APUs (which is what the PS4/PS5/Xbox) use memory, the RAM is shared between the graphics and compute units. This can be an advantage since memory is quickly shared between the two (for example loading textures, etc).

This is also useful in computers since adding more RAM also adds more VRAM
