The problem is that workers get Manna in place of the human management - automated surveillance systems that track every moment of their working life and slice and dice this data to figure out who can be fired or harassed and where to tighten the screws on them.

Manna by Marshall Brain is a great short book about this that's available free online.

With sufficient memory barriers, the x86 memory model can be emulated entirely in software without having to sacrifice multithreading. I expect a year from now we will be able to run x86 Windows on our AS Macs at reasonable-ish speeds this way.

There are times that exceptions work really well, I think the problem isn't so much that they exist, as they're too often used wrong. Getting an exception due to a real error is nice, getting them as a generic flow control device, not so much.
Some argue it makes way more sense to build and colonize space in O'Neill cylinders instead. You can have "nice" artificial environments and gravity that matches Earths.

I have a friend who does this. It used to be that every year or so he would come out to where I live for a convention he liked to go to and he would stay at my house for 3-4 days and we'd catch up, go do some stuff in the evening when he wasn't at the convention, etc.

One year he resolved to "do better about keeping up" - apparently feeling bad that our entire message history was him texting me a month before the convention asking if he could stay with me, and me saying that he could. True to his word, ever after that, he has periodically texted me every few months just to make idle conversation. He even stopped going to the convention but still keeps messaging me periodically - which I appreciate because it shows he didn't view me only as a hotel replacement.

Still, I prefer our old arrangement. Frankly, I don't need to know how he is doing every few months and I find it a bit awkward to make small talk any way. As I just have one friend that does this it's not so bad, but if I had more friends who wanted to just regularly "check in" like this, I'd have to start blocking people, ending friendships, or developing an automated routine to tell the curious that I'm doing well and to ask about their family and our mutual friends, etc.

Everything is broken :-)

It really should be taught in schools as how not to design anything. I actually once worked on some extension (at least I think it was) of Java Server Faces which sent serialized Java objects as hidden html-input elements (base64-encoded binary blobs) back and forth with each request(!!). At least I hope that was not part of the core JSF technology. You really should run away from most of the early Java web-tech, it truly was horrid.

It's also strange that a language, which was so "connected" to the early days of the web (even had their own html element <applet>) ended up with such strange things for web-development shortly after.
A better analogy would be living in a nice comfortable house, which is much better than nearly all other houses - but then someone spots a problem with the chimney and starts comparing it to other houses’ chimneys, some of which have better chimneys, some of which have better chimneys but a worse overall house, and some of which are fantasy chimneys that could theoretically exist if only we all spent a bit more time thinking about chimneys. And in amongst all this chimney woe, the fundamental qualities of the house and the fundamental privilege of having such a house go forgotten.

That's not true. The natural logarithm is the only one whose derivative is 1/x but the identity you wrote is true with any base.

People had been using logarithmic tables to do multiplication centuries before Napier came up with "e".
Lmfao, long haul drivers are very much on the chopping block this decade. Every major logistics corporation is lining up to snap up self driving trucks between warehouses.

Short-haul/local drivers however yes, they will continue to exist for now due to the additional complexity preseneted by everyone and their mom's loading dock being all kinds of differently designed, often in ridiculous ways.

There is a German company that specializes in this: https://www.statice.ai/ , and that too is a path that you should only walk if you fully understand the subject matter.

I watched the version with narration (https://vimeo.com/260291607/5bcaf19961), and was impressed by how many distinct mechanisms are at work here, different molecules specialized for taking advantage of and working with different parts of the (host) human cell.

Exactly, and it isn't in itself wrong to point it out.
I’m always much more proud of a good clean function I’ve written than I am a larger, less clean one. The shorter one takes longer to write, and requires more understanding and thought — and it’s usually the second or third pass refactoring the long less clean one, but it’s always satisfying when I get there.

Easier to test usually, too.

Hi HN,

Library author here. v1.0 was released recently with React 17 support (and v6 d3.js). I thought this would be a good time to get some feedback from HN community.

There are also Vue[0] and Svelte[1] libraries for anyone interested in those frameworks (all the three libraries share the same core).

I think this is actually more a matter of taste. Been there, done that. These days I prefer to just mix in my language of choice with HTML instead of mixing it in with some extra templating language that basically does the same but is harder to read and reason about. But that is the whole debate about jsx in a nutshell I guess.

Considering Reacts popularity, it is an interesting question though if templating languages replaced php and asp or are on the way out again in favor of that style of coding.
I think those firms will likely lose their competitiveness overtime. Unless they are defacto monopoly. Boeing is a prime example.

That's a must. In some countries this is now automated at the government level, Belgium for instance has an excellent consent mechanism for medical data.
The answer to that is two-fold, of course. In the US and UK any hold-up is going to be blamed on the government, while in the EU it’ll be blamed on some nebulous, far away EU institution which is not elected anyway.

Second one country might care more about a lot of people dying unnecessarily (besides the burden on the economy) than another. Clearly the EU has no issue with it and prioritizes theatrics instead. Again, probably has to do with the ease of blame shifting.

Neither of these have anything to do with the typical excuses about ‘thoroughness’.
Indeed. I think jobs like plumber, electrician, etc are actually the safest there are in term of automation.

But self-driving trucks, especially long-haul ones that drive mostly on motorways between warehouses are likely near the top of the list of replacement by self-driving vehicles.
And has a huge advantage: it runs local.
Not if those firms sell a commodity product, such as delivery or retail.

It's not exactly that these companies like to use forced-labor and need it to benefit from it.

What's the real deal, as I see it is:

(1) The US politicians and part of the business world decided at a trade war with China.

(2) For this end, they use the Uyghur situation (and others) as a pressure point on China (selectively as always of course: they will ignore or even fund the same or worse attrocities if done by "allies", or for that matter, themselves.

(3) US Companies with big presence there are caught in the crossfire. They have to cut parts of their supply chain immediately, whether it has anything to do with Uyghurs or not, to be compliant. So they understandably ask for check time extensions, and so on. This is presented as them pushing for "forced labour" (which they don't: they make do with the regular sweatshop labor and "you're lucky to have a job, now work 12 hour shifts and sleep in our dorms" exploitation, capitalist style, which they use domestically and abroad).
Is it similar to TfidfTransformer? I checked out the repo and looks like you are also using regex? Im working on NLP right now so that might come handy.
> Renting a box and forgetting about it is how you get hacked.

You get hacked in any compute model if you don't know what you doing.

> There is more maintenance and operational burden with self hosting vs cloud.

Renting a box is closer to dedicated hosts than to self hosting, which are two very different things.

> But going cloud doesn't mean there's no longer any burden.

Exactly, and it starts with the complexity and confusion that the cloud became. Then with vendor specific stuff that you don't need, such IAM, and then when you think everything is alright, you notice your bandwidth is caped after 1 hour running your ec2, that your port 25 is magically broken (docs were updated years later after much complains), everything is a slow black box.

Cloud is like chopping your both legs and being happy with it.
I have a hard time imagining a large monolithic function where I wouldn't want to test any parts, ever. Also, I find that most people can only keep a certain amount of code in their head at the same time, so even if you have a monolithic function, I think you'd still want nested helper functions so that the more complicated portions of the code that are hard to read and understand stay manageable.

I can see long distance high way truck driving jobs on set routes going away. That scenario is relatively simple to automate. That is moving goods from one big hub to an other. On other hand the last delivery leg likely will stay human.

On other hand I do agree that skilled labour jobs in maintenance and renovation jobs aren't going very soon.

Then again in new buildings automating these jobs with good design or even pre-build components is not impossible eventually.
Thank you for being brave we will defeat this tyranny. The censorship is proof we are winning. Failed ideologies don't have to be censored they fail on their own merits.
There are people far smarter than I am developing plans for this, but I'm assuming the thinking is "it's better to vaccinate the person who could die from Covid than to vaccinate the person who could potentially give it to them".

I have no doubt there are some pretty interesting models being developed to determine the best course of action.

Good luck for them in competing with somebody that has the network effect of being available everywhere.
What are you talking about? Every large company is jumping aboard the automatic worker surveillance, tracking and scoring. Where are you gonna go work? To a competitor who uses the exact same surveillance system?
Yes I agree it's essentially the same debate. I think it has to do with subjective taste as well as what kind of app you're building (ie. how much HTML are you templating out?)

Edit: I will add that I have some experience working on apps that do both ways - React mixing HTML and CSS into the JS code (JSX) and Vue with its strange template language which extends HTML for somewhat the opposite approach. I don't really like either one that much. I still actually prefer the string templating library era as cleaner but not without its flaws.
> The main reason to go for "by the minute" builds on the Cloud for a machine you don't own is to either help with porting to an architecture you don't use, or to churn apps with some cross platform framework to a platform you don't use/care about.

You can also go for "by the minute" builds on the Cloud for a machine you do own. Suppose the developers and testers have Macs on their desks, but you still want to have your CI run in the Cloud. Now I'm not an expert on cloud pricing so I could be wrong, but I imagine you could benefit from paying by the minute in that case, depending on the specifics of your situation (builds per day, time per build, total cost of ownership of having a build farm in house).

Of course they're lining for it, but if no one delivers L5 autonomy trucks, then they'll still be stuck with drivers.
Pretty sure I acknowledged that in the second half of the sentence you quoted :D
There were about 4000 cars on board. If each car has 10 quarts of oil, that's 10000 gallons or about 32 tonnes.

Oil tanker spills are typically in the range of tens to hundreds of thousands of tonnes of oil.

So, don't waste cycles worrying about it; it's a rounding error in the general scheme of things.
If you've got an algorithm or hot loop that's hard to follow because it needs to be, some simplifying functions can keep it from overflowing people's brains, which IMO is the worst overflow error.
Note: this is written by a Personal CRM (Dex) and is pretty slanted. They put themselves first on the list, which is fine, but have broken URLs (example: https//clay.earth/ ) for most of their competitors and throw shade at projects like Monica, calling them "single developer projects... with relatively limited feature sets".

I’ve been hearing about self driving cars since I was a kid a few decades ago.

I have yet to see any evidence of a self driving vehicle that can handle anything other than the simple roads of sunny AZ or CA.

Show me one that can handle a snow squall or heavy rain or missing signs and lane markers and construction zones, and I might think it’s possible this decade.

Otherwise, I assume there’s a lot of work to be done.

Thinkpads tend to be road warrior machines, so the higher end ones having that feature makes sense for that reason.

Certainly I've used 4G on trains before now because the on-train wifi was frigging useless.
It would be a cool interface, I would love to see that.
It was certainly well marketed. But in reality, Spring is also too complex. It has far too much dynamic dispatch, byte-code weaving magic and runtime failure. This is now causing them problems with GraalVM and fast startup times needed for cloud.
I don't doubt that the VMs themselves cost money. I only doubt that the ubuntu images cost money. In other words, the cost for the VMs should be the same if you installed debian (or whatever home rolled distro).

proven it safe and effective

Having worked in the pharmaceutical industry, if I ever said my FDA approved drug was "safe and effective" I'd have the FDA dropping the hammer on me.

The FDA does not prove a drug is safe. No drug is 100% safe. The FDA determines whether the risks of the treatment are outweighed by the benefit.

I have no doubt that additional safety signals will pop up from Covid vaccines as the treated population expands by 100x. Most likely they will not be severe and the risk will still outweight the benefit.

But to say "we've tested the vaccine on a 15,000 people so we know it's safe to vaccinate 1B+ people" is not something the FDA would agree with.
Genuine Amazon UK cancellation confirmation email looks like spam
This is a genuine Amazon.co.uk cancellation email which I received today. I was going to discard it right after opening - I'd been expecting it and already knew the refund was approved.

Right before closing the message, my eye caught the line "will be displayed in your next bank account" (?). That got me looking at the rest. When you read it through, the whole thing is in horrific broken English and looks like a spam/scam.

I'm not really sure what to make of this. On the one hand, it doesn't seem too critical - it's not asking you to do anything, the meaning is obvious and a lot of people probably won't even read it. On the other hand, it's not exactly setting a good example or making it easy for customers to identify what is and isn't a scam. After spotting the issues, I actually had to verify whether it was real after all - it is, the link does indeed navigate to Amazon.co.uk and the shipment number/order number (redacted from screenshot) do indeed match the order I cancelled during shipping earlier in the week.

Key issues:

- "We are writing you in relation to the cancellation request" - Missing "to".
- "We have refunded the order and you will receive a confirmation e-mail." - Erm, isn't this the confirmation email? Not completely sure to be honest but I think it is.
- "You can see the refund within 5-7 working days, after the refund release, and will be displayed in your next bank account." - This line is awful. Weird mixing of tenses and I've no idea what "your next bank account" is meant to mean.
- "Click on 'Your Account' that you find high right corner on Amazon website" - !!!
- "Refunds and replacements are displayed on the bottom in this page." - !!!
- "We cannot read your answers reply." - Great.

This is a genuine Amazon email...
