I guess that information is cherry-picked? Or are you saying that at all time we have accessible record, the price of a sheep has exceeded 1 pound of silver and always been below 1.5 pounds of silver?
> this can mean that the lead developer becomes a manager in responsibility but not in resources.

I think you've nailed it here - what's been described is a manager under another title, and one who will be hampered in that role in the exact ways you describe.
> If electric cars ever become widespread

I have a strong suspicion that soon enough after that we will be able to build electric cars from kits, cheap and with no frills. We are on a cusp of a new technological revolution.

What if cars were like TVs? Some would be smart with integrated software, and some would be dumb and require a "stick" to make it smart. I'd certainly be tempted to buy the dumb version and have the flexibility to try different software experiences.

It really is not "trivially accounted for" in this manner. The flu is an annual thing that most people are coping well with mentally. Can't quite say the same about the latest pandemic, and people's attitudes and beliefs are going to significantly colour the amount and nature of the self-reporting system.
I agree with you about wanting a car without pointless stuff bolted on. When it comes to the things required to actually move the car, there's an interesting inverse relationship between visible levers and internal complexity though. Each lever removed is moving complexity from your brain to some physical system. Like an automatic transmission removes the gear shift and adds the more complex automatic transmission. In the limit, one can imagine the "simplest" interface of a virtually empty self-driving pod, which of course is actually an extremely complex system.

I googled for this and could find no info. Please give a reference for this claim.
I recently bought a used 2016 Spark EV (having a baby and needed something other than my motorbike). It does have a touchscreen, but mostly for extraneous information and radio functions. Everything else has dedicated knobs and buttons. (The one dumb thing is that the fan speed updates on the screen, rather than just having ticks above the knob.)

It is a California "compliance car", which means it was just a modified petrol Spark, so it didn't have product managers trying to jam in unnecessary touch-based interfaces.

I just hope that all companies building electric cars don't move in the all-touch direction of Tesla.

What proof is there that I am generally intelligent in the same context we want computers to be in order for AGI to be true?

Imagine how much farther the field would be if we stopped wasting resources on this fantasy land nonsense.

All intelligence is specialized intelligence.
I highly doubt they will sell any at that price. It's more than some people make in an hour, working. It's not quite sane and shows a backwards mindset. why would an autonomous car even need a steering wheel?

> This seems to cause friction though, and maybe represents some kind of personality issue. I don't know why I'm like this or what it might mean though.

Maybe I'm biased, but if expressing your non-consent of celebrating something about you that you didn't chose causes friction, that's not your personality issue. A desire to give everyone presents even if they don't want them is the personality issue.

Receiving a present creates a social obligation to deliver a present later and may also be a conflict of interest. My spouse was an elected official (board of supervisors of a tiny government agency) and it was great because I had a concrete reason to refuse gifts; anything from not close family over a tiny threshold had a reporting obligation, and anything over a not so big threshold was prohibited; nobody wanted to participate in reporting, so no gifts.
Eric weinstein has tried to apply physics concepts to economics , such as gauge theory. I dunno if he succeeded. I remember it generated at the time a lot of hype
Merely pointing out a logical fallacy is not itself a fallacy. It can be used to discredit a bad argument.

It becomes a fallacy when you say Opinion X is wrong because its proponents used fallacious Argument Y.
If a large customer wants to decide when they get new features, they need to pay for their own dedicated environment that is on a separate release cycle. Otherwise they need to adapt to our release schedules and make sure they get all the previewing that they need on a test environment.
I agree that's not black and white; rather, that the separation into work and life pushes you into the mentality to see it as black and white. I agree that there are options between working all the time and not working. As I discussed, it's all life. You're interpretation is that I said that everything is work. You conflate "there's no such thing as work/life balance; it's all life" with "work is what brings me satisfaction," mostly because a lot of people that push the mantra are people like PG who are that way. But it's really deeper than that. It's closer to not discounting yourself or your time and being present in the moment at all times. It's realizing that despite the fact we are cogs in a machine, we still have the opportunity to be mindful and engage with life around us. Even if you only work that 3 hours a day, that's still 10% of your week that you'd just discount from your life. You don't have to like it. You don't have to yearn for it or enjoy it. But it's part of your life, so be present for it.
No offence but "you can e-mail me" is not the most persuasive argument for possessing personhood I've heard.

Anyway, I don't think people doubt your humanity, just your sincerity.

Pretty weird fanbase, isn't it?
We pick those customers to be beta testers. They receive pre-release features, but in return they must accept possible bugs will happen (of course, when one is identified we give them the choice of disabling the feature immediately).

The schedule is totally in our hands, though. Once we say it’s time to go GA, it goes. At this point there still are feature toggles, though, just in case.
Why pre-OBDII?
Yes, human intelligence is the benchmark for the definition of general intelligence. Certainly we can go further.
But inheritance is thought to be a key to software reuse, and reusing the existing software is the safest path for inexperienced programmers to become productive.
I don't think I would classify Go with Java. I would not use Go to write a system with a rich domain model and lots of business logic. Java, in its own dated and awful way, is designed to cope with complexity. Go is designed to punish it.

Go is the language you design when you have absolute conviction that whenever you feel forced to write complex code, you need to rethink your solution instead. It is not a language you would design if you were doing business application programming and were forced to model unbounded amounts of complexity beyond your control. (Java admittedly didn't originate that way, but it sure looks like it did.)
Because there isn’t any. But that is how the aging immune system responds to most other diseases, so we assume the same will be true here.

I'm not seeing anything here about generating VAT-compliant invoices here or in the documentation.

Different countries have different requirements for what must be included on the invoice and specific language to use (e.g. how a reverse-charge is supposed to be worded).

Picking on Go at this point is poor sport. It's been around for a while and everyone realizes its moronic and deficient. It works for Google, though.

Am I "censoring people" if I ask a customer to leave my restaurant and never return while he is in the middle of a loud racist rant?

Facebook and Twitter are not critical infrastructure. Nobody has to use them. They are private platforms their owners invited you to. I choose not to use these services, and anyone else who doesn't like them is free to do the same.

People do not have the choice to avoid using telephone or mail services, which is why they are regulated as common carriers. It is nearly impossible to function in modern society without access to mail and telephone service. The argument for net neutrality rests on the idea that general internet access is also a requirement in order to be a functional member of society.
They also care about criticism

The Trends in Genetics (not Cell) paper seems plausible. I don't study fish genetics or evolution. As I remember, fish genomes tend to have more genome-wide duplications and losses in comparison to other vertebrates. One possibility is that some fish lose AFPs because they don't need them – i.e. the observation could be caused by loss of function instead of gain of function due to HGT. I have to admit that the chance of gene losses across multiple fish lineages is pretty tiny but it is at least associated with a known mechanism.

Anyways, an interesting article.

I also own a hard copy of this one and know nothing about architecture. I've found the patterns helpful for video game level design. Whether it's the layout of a small town, window placement, or the tiered chambers of a church or temple, this book is extremely insightful for someone who doesn't know where to start when it comes to this stuff.
Hah what a similar story to my own - open source, Stripe then into YC. The energy at Stripe was unreal and I’m not sure I fully groked it until I started my own business.

> Everyone I talked to genuinely cared about their job and about me as a person, and everyone was high powered.

Simply walking around the office(s) was incredibly energizing for this reason. Fairly hard contrast with the last year of isolation and working alone! “Figure out what great looks like” is great advice, but I will say it does generate some imposter syndrome that I hadn’t felt before Stripe and YC, for (probably) better or for worse. Capitalizing on these experiences without getting caught up in comparison paralysis is a genuine skill that you seem to have mastered. Congratulations on the funding!

These days one can use an external battery over USB-C if the internal battery is not enough. And I can use it to charge all the devices plus there is no need to shutdown the laptop to change the batteries.
RL is still pretty dumb and for that extremely computationally demanding. Markov chains are like the most trivial stochastic models and I can't believe that's all it takes to get AGI. I also often wonder whether the "Deep" part of DRL is not spending most of its weights to compensate for the basic nature of Markov chains.
That's not smart by Toyota (unless they own a very small stake), is it? Mazda competing with Toyota is indeed bad for Toyota but it's also bad for all the other auto manufacturers too. The benefit of that competition goes exclusively to Toyota (among other shareholders) but the cost is shared among all automakers roughly in proportion to their EV market share.

Part of the plan but not part of Google’s consumer-oriented hype for it. Google has intentionally declined to state the fingerprint-joining and dollar impact to third parties because it would detract from the (already specious) message that FLoC improves privacy. Perhaps during some anti-trust hearings in the future we’ll see internal emails that detail how much $$ Google estimated that FLoC would take away from other advertisers as a function of what level of fingerprint joining they succeed at.

FLoC is NOT proven to be incentive-compatible with consumers and how they value their privacy. The only guarantee is that users are (on average) harder to distinguish within a cohort. Google absolutely studied the possible economic consequences of FLoC prior to announcement and they are hiding that study. Either because the results are crappy, the Google Ads employees are less competent than they were a decade ago, or both.
Try Rob Pike's (yes, that Rob Pike) APL-with-keywords, ivy: https://pkg.go.dev/robpike.io/ivy?utm_source=godoc
The linked site uses a couple methods:

`i => ⍳ (iota)
ii<tab> => ⍳

In some editors you can change the prefix character (in emacs I think the default is . or I changed it to . almost immediately). Also in emacs (though I didn't try this with APL) you can use an entry method based on TeX so if you type:

\iota

You will get

⍳
So you’re just going to contradict your reasoning about “of course nothing drastic will happen” by stating “if I were president there’d be drastic changes” in the same thread? This is exactly the superficiality I was arguing against. The only convincing you’re doing is that we shouldn’t listen to you.
There's nuance that's often hard to capture.

There are core parts of our understanding that would take a lot of counter evidence to really change. For example, evolution. It's as close to a fact as you can possibly get.

On the flip side, there is always fringe parts of science that we are actively generating new models and theories around.

The problem is distinguishing between the two. Yes, you are an idiot if you think the earth is flat. No, you aren't an idiot if you think that we don't have a full understanding of how the brain works.

Scientific "blasphemy" is making a claim with little evidence that runs counter to the current accepted and working models which have mountains of evidence behind them.

It's the "Let's rewrite the whole system" mentality whenever you encounter a small bug in the software. Scientific understanding is generally a bunch of small fixes and tweaks vs rewriting things ever few years.
Decision Transformer: ReinforcementLearning via Sequence Modeling
I can recommend nestjs.com. Nest (note: not nextjs) is a framework for building webapps/microservices in TS. If you build an app using nest, the framework is going to give you a level of structure that you may like.

In terms of learning by reading nest's source, I don't think it's the most readable code out there - but there's certainly a lot to learn about abstractions. On the opposite spectrum, if you're really starting from 0 maybe find a few apps done in nest that go a little beyond the basics covered by the tutorials.

(I have no affiliations with nest, I'm just using it for my own project and I certainly learned a lot from the framework.)
So how is that different from Fortran arrays, then?
I wonder what a good gift would be for America to give France? Something to symbolize our respect for them as they did with the Statue of Liberty. Maybe a statue of Marie Curie holding a glass sculpture of a radium atom glowing with an inner light. A symbol of French enlightenment so to speak.
Ok, I see this a lot. Does anyone have real world experience with meaningful corruption which could be pointed at memory errors? A certain sort of person is very interested in ECC and I have a lot of doubt that it actually causes anybody trouble commensurate with the attention it gets (unless you are Google, and you aren't Google)

Even if a few bits are flipped in a media file once during transfer or even permanently... or if the OS state of my storage box gets corrupted and I have to reboot it... so what?
I've got a 1985 Jeep CJ-7 sitting in a shed in another state right now. The 4-cylinder engine sucked when it was new, and 35 years of entropy have not been kind to it, especially the labyrinthine emissions control systems. But I'm holding on to it because I think it would be an absolute hoot converted to electric... plus, it's got such a small gas tank and bad gas mileage that a 150 mile electric range would be no worse.
It's one of the drawbacks of being an autodidact; I pretty much always have to check to be sure I'm not confusing these two similar terms, and I didn't stop to check this time. Thanks for the correction.
Ask HN: Is there a system for repeatably productive work days?
Been working in this industry as a software engineer for nearly a decade and I'm starting to work towards a tech lead position.

It occurred to me that I don't have a repeatable process for each day to be somewhere within a standard deviation of my "average" productivity. Which is kind of weird for an industry that puts so much stock in repeatable processes.

Supposedly I do a decent job on my technical work and I'm o.k. at communication and presentation. However, I don't always do all of the small things that add up: I don't always document as I go (sometimes I put it off), I don't always take notes for meetings, etc.

It seems like there ought to be some kind of system for getting the little stuff done and the "meat" of the work done. The advice for writers to "write something every day, even if its crap" comes to mind, but for devs :)

I want to be productive, organized, and dependable like the senior engineers I hope to become, and have fewer days where I feel like I let something basic slip: in other words, a professional.

Why not?

Why do You think that this will somehow limit people ability to learn or even make them worse version of them?

Most of the dev's I know, want to do coding for life:
- not learning tools from scratch every few weeks, because of the abandoned library
- not fight with npm audit every week
- not waiting for 5 minutes for webpack to download internet and build project in CI, while .Net builds are already completed, unit tested and waiting for smoke run.
The article ironically links to LinkedIn explainer which states if the URL is > 26 characters it will be replaced with their URL, Not a hyperlink like Twitter of many other platforms which tells the reader where the link points after redirecting through the tracking URL.

I guess I need an example of the declarative model, as I can see the Ansible model in my head and it still looks declarative to me atleast at the singular module level.

in Ansible, you say "make sure these packages are installed" and they'll be installed as needed, to match that state, or ignored if already there.

Even the file level stuff you can say "make sure this line is in the file" and it either adds it or says "nope, that's already in there".

Is it that there's modules that aren't declarative? Sort of the esoteric ones to poke specific cloud infrastructure (though even the few of those I looked at seemed to be declarative if needed).

There's a million things they can do. Permissions aren't that fine-grained, and the apps always have ways to infer a lot of stuff. Heck, they can even make background tasks, while if it's a website I know that if I close the tab your tool is gone.
Bad managers are actively harmful to a team. Great managers will make a team shine with productivity and satisfaction. You'll never accept a bad manager again once you work with a great one. Sadly, they are few and far between. And to truly be great, their managers all the way up to the CEO also need to be great. So a role under such a leadership team is rare. But they do exist. It is worth your time to seek them out.
Meanwhile, domain registrars are still emailing customers asking them to "click this link" to verify their contact information. No URL shortening there, just a wildly irresponsible process.
