Hmm. Were the "old days" really all that great, though?

You talk about websites which use 10MB of JS to display a 32KB article. I think what we have seen historically is that most software developers will work only as hard as necessary to make their products acceptably performant on their testing hardware. When computers were slow, people worked harder to optimize the software. When the machines got fast, people weren't forced to optimize as much, so they didn't.

Do I like that? No. Is it understandable (and perhaps even predictable) that things will go that way? Yes.

You also mention the proliferation of dark patterns in various online services and even products like MS Windows. Well, one thing that has become clear is that many consumers really like products which are free, and which they can obtain with little effort. If an online service employs 'dark patterns' to get what they want out of their users, but it is free, the users might actually prefer that to a paid service. So while it is regrettable, it's not strange or surprising that such things are happening.

I suspect that the software field does not, as you suggest, "attract people who are adamant that their customers do it their way". Probably these developments which you speak of are just a combination of human nature playing out as it always does, plus random events, plus the ongoing advancement of technology which makes it possible for people to do (sometimes undesirable) things which they would have done earlier if they could, but they couldn't until now.

I would love to hear evidence to the contrary, however.

Ask HN: How do you manage job interviews with many companies
Hi HN!

I know that companies use services like Lever, Greenhouse and other to manage candidates where you see their resumes, notes and feedback from other engineers/colleagues who are in the hiring loop, schedule etc.
As a candidate, I feel all this is all over the place from my side. I apply for jobs and then I forget where did I apply and what was the job post (i eventually can hunt it down but it's kinda painful). I want to be able to keep track of what questions i asked and answers I got, schedule, interview process, assignments, and other notes in a concise way. Is there a system/method or a service that you worked for?
Some of these points are correct, strictly speaking, but the analysis is pretty one-sided, imo. This is very "Anyone who's not an idiot should just found a start-up because 'regular jobs' are full of immature monkeys that can't appreciate you." That hasn't been my experience at all and it sounds more like 'being your own boss' is a way to avoid having any people skills or being able to work as part of a team. There are a ton of great reasons not to found a start-up, even if you could. For example, if you prefer living life instead of working, a start-up is probably not a great choice. If you need stability more than a lotto ticket, a start-up is probably not a great choice. If you want to just work in your field and not spend your time worrying about fundraising and
finance and marketing and hiring and HR and revenue cycles and payroll and .... , then founding a start-up is probably not a great choice. The list goes on...
I agree with your assessment of the importance of trust in this example and the issues that go with it. I suspect similar issues crop up with non crypto systems as well but that's not really what I want to discuss.

NFTs still seem potentially useful to me. Let's take one more example: the Mona Lisa currently in the possession of France and held in the Louvre. How do I know all that? I looked it up on Wikipedia and "trust" what I've read. I trust it because I assume any time this painting changes hands its a carefully managed transactions likely involving 6 to 7 figures of USD (just for transaction "fees", not the value of the painting) toward dozens of people to verify various things (the authenticity of the painting, and the authenticity of the purchaser and purchaser's funds, and seller) as well as security, transportation, insurance, and desired publicity.

But maybe there's a different way to go about that kind of transaction. As long as we can establish a few initial conditions collectively with "trust", any future transactions for the Mona Lisa can be, in a way, protected with an NFT. Let's start by collectively agreeing to give the Mona Lisa NFT id "1" on the Ethereum blockchain and give France address "0x01". For whatever reason, the Mona Lisa gets sold to "0x05" as an Ethereum transaction. We no longer need to verify the authenticity of the purchaser's funds (hopefully obvious), nor do we really care who "0x05" is. Everyone who believes in cryptography can now establish that indeed "0x05" is the rightful owner of the Mona Lisa. I no longer need to trust a Wikipedia article, or be important enough to "know someone" who knows how to get in touch with "France" or whoever the current owner is if I'm a serious candidate to purchase it.

If the Mona Lisa gets stolen and later turns up, physically, anywhere, in anyone's hands, the world at least has the ability to say "prove you're 0x05". Anyone who has the ability to do so gets it. Yay! In theory, "0x05" can even sell the Mona Lisa to "0x06", WHILE IT IS IN A THIEF'S "POSSESION", and the rest of the world sans thief can agree that, indeed, "0x06" is now the rightful owner of the Mona Lisa. Pretty much the only thing the NFT doesn't help with at all here is destruction of underlying asset (the ink and canvas we collectively designate "The Mona Lisa").

I don't know. Maybe its a crazy idea. Maybe it just requires re-evaluating the importance we place on a particular organization of molecules (that are technically fungible!) with no utility. An atom-level, "perfect", physical reproduction of the Mona Lisa may even become a possibility one day. So maybe the more important thing really is the abstract idea of proof of ownership of some cryptographically protected numbers.
I stumbled upon a website of furries discussing 3D-printed firearms. sent a link to my friend. blocked. other 3D-printed arms websites were not. I wonder if they do some network analysis and automatically determine the furries are scarier? no idea.
Voting with your wallet doesn't work. There is no ethical consumption under our current economic system. The only way to end this is to end the global neoliberal anti-protectionist social and economic order which permits serfdom in third-world countries for lower prices on final goods here at home.

Note that I'm not advocating for protectionism. Free trade is largely a good thing. But the current system is unsustainable and affords too much privilege to multinationals to self-police. It cannot be allowed to continue unchecked, lest we sacrifice our environment and the living/working conditions of families and individuals halfway around the world.
C++ modules have little to do with the concept of "modules" you find in other languages. You can think about it as a more standardized way to define and create what is known as pre-compiled headers. But that's basically it.
Nicole Kidman Starring in “I Love Lucy”
In the early 90s I had a minimum wage summer job loading boxes of just manufactured aerosol cans onto pallets. The boxes were uniform and there was a prescribed stacking pattern, so that part was simple. The hard part for me was that I was not accustomed to the repetitive physical labor. I quickly learned the minimum movement required.

The challenge came when the forklift operator failed to show on time. I would have to use a pallet jack to move the full pallet so I could start stacking the next (it wasn't worth the extra movement to carry the boxes to a farther pallet). There was a conveyor that could buffer about half a pallet worth of boxes. I then worked double-time to catch up.

This would be a perfect application for this robot if the cost aligns. I assume as these robots come down in price these kinds of jobs will disappear.
I wish it did, but honestly all the mask deals were pocket change (you can't really say the mask scandal, considering how many there were).

Not only didn't he get punished, now he's also in the highest position of the German government.
And I wish it was an extreme example, but it's really not.

The health minister is responsible for the current health care crisis, which he kicked off over 10 years ago. Thanks to him clinics prefer to amputate diabetes patients over treatment, because it pays more.

Each of the ministers has done similar things such as getting an extra 150k€ salary from the coal industry etc.

I would also ask to elaborate. Looking at its history I don't feel like C has been conceived with some concept in mind. C++ OOP implementation doesn't look the best of its kind.
From my university courses in veterinary medicine I remember them telling us about a vaccine against actual ticks. Particularly the proteins lining the tick guts. Normally those would not enter the blood stream and so no antibodies would be generated against these. Anyway, dogs with this vaccines would get bitten by ticks, and the ticks would eventually die...

Also, why post an article that isn't even available on scihub?
Biden has grown on me. Exiting Afghanistan helped. Were it not for Manchin and Sinema, his BBB package had a lot of progressive goals stitched in its fabric. He is, like Carter before him, an utterly decent man.

It's possible though not straight-forward. React Native Windows seems to have a version of V8 wrapped with JSI (for use in React Native) though by the looks of the project, it appears to be only used internally and not really meant for stand-along consumption: https://github.com/microsoft/v8-jsi
I don't understand how this is any different than the normal vaccines that are required for you to attend public and private universities. This isn't a new concept.
There is a very big difference here though, at least ostensibly (doesn't matter much to you if the government wants to know where you were two weeks ago at noon).

The government has to prove based on the reasons that we choose in a democracy that we all want /why/ it has an interest in knowing such a thing.

The companies, on the other hand, literally get to know whatever they want and it's up to us to prove why they shouldn't actually know that thing.

Now, if we want to have a debate about which is more abused in practice, or which is more dangerous, I'm all about it. But the difference in access to information based on proving a need, versus proving a harm, is actually quite stark in theory.
> Healthcare is the great equalizer

By income redistribution I mean most progressive proposals aim to heavily tax high earners to fund healthcare for lower income individuals. That money would otherwise be used by those earners to buy their first home, build retirement wealth, etc. Ever heard of HENRYs?

> MediCal is set up to be punitive to the poors like all Medicaid programs. A Medicare system isn't.

Citation is needed here. A lot of good doctors in my area won't take Medicare patients because Medicare reimbursements are too low. We also know from European systems that because everything is triaged based on need that wait times end up being very long if you don't have a life threatening condition. You also need to consider that American doctors make substantially more than European ones. If you compare the pay of specialty doctors in the NHS to ones in the US the difference is something like 5x.

> What getting everyone on the system does is it makes the political class beholden to the needs of the individuals

That is your perspective, and I think it's a naive one. I think it would prevent reforms that drive efficiency. Think of what happens when anyone talks about making Medicare more efficient: they get attacked as anti-elderly and portrayed as wanting to cut benefits. Or the same for military spending. At least the free market (which healthcare is not right now, but it could be) is ruthless about creating efficiency.

> Socialized medicine is no more a partisan issue in most countries than a socialized fire department or sidewalks.

Funny that the UK argues about NHS funding a lot then.
They're not going to have much choice in the matter, I'd guess.
The device in question was an iPad, the company that made the software (Apple) was not involved, the "expert" was a third party explaining the standard enlargement methods.

https://www.theverge.com/2021/11/12/22778801/kyle-rittenhous...

If the judge mistrusted the enlargement method, he should have ordered them to display it on another device or software.

Real-time video upscaling is very standard filtering that's not introducing extra hallucinated details. At most, some TVs use ML to tune their sharpening and color rendition, but it can always be disabled. The iPad has never been shown or proven to use those for video playback, and even if it did, the courts should have a standard video player to present details with standard filtering.

The judges non-technical stance on things, isn't borne out of reality and again, any capture time post processing should be completely independently viewed from playback time processing.
You cited Torvalds. So you were talking about the desktop experience. Now you're talking about hardware compatibility and that's not a fair comparison, on the other hand you have a vendor that makes its own hardware, and the reference OS for every OEM. Linux hardware support has been stellar considering its intrinsic disadvantage.

Linux Desktop, as in the Linux Desktop experience, as in GNOME and its ecosystem, is on par if not superior with boh MacOS and Windows.
> the problem is when light is not perfect, that's when the bigger lens/sensor are worth it even for a beginner that doesn't know much about photography.

I think the opposite is true, from my (amateur) experience. It's much harder to get a good photo in poor light with a dedicated camera if you don't know what you're doing than it is to get a good photo with a smartphone.

In good light, the better sensors shine through, but in poor light (e.g. and overcast day, not talking about some limit of darkness condition) the superior processing and auto-adjustment of a top-end phone will make for much better photos. Again, talking exclusively about amateur photography, not what a master can do.

Edit: I just notice now that you said "TU", my mind autocompleted your sentence with "file" instead the first time I read it. Still keeping my comment here, module :private is not well known and a nice way to declare a distinct interface Translation Unit while keeping everything in one file.

You can do this, but you can also use the "module :private" fragment if you want to have everything in one file while still keeping the distinction between interface and implementation.

Example:

// File "mymodule.ixx"
module;

#include <string>

// declare interface
export module mymodule;

export namespace mymodule {
// templates have to be declared
// in interface to be known at
// compile-time
template<typename T>
T add(T x, T y) {
return x + y;
}

std::string greetings();
}

// implement interface
module :private;

std::string mymodule::greetings() {
return "hello";
}

What if those principles are applied in a market where customers are forced to buy the product because it is essential and they have little to no choice in product providers?

Some philosophies would say that's a market opportunity, others would say it's up to the government to regulate, others would advocate for a different corporate management style. Has any been effectively implemented or worked in the past?
Jason is very well known, already has code in the kernel and is touching a _highly_ visible part of the code.

That's a pretty bold statement on your part, especially because there are many other, simpler, mechanisms that can be used for subverting/back dooring without such costs
I was just tonight watching Bjarne’s cppcon 21 talk[1] and he does not seem to think they’re dead.

OTOH, from what I can tell my compiler of choice, clang, has not improved its support since last time I dabbled with it unsuccessfully. But I could be Doing It Wrong. There seems to be very little stuff on the internet about actually using them which is not a great sign.

Myocarditis is not the same as death. Boosters are required because the efficacy of the vaccine has been observed to wane with time.

Yeah the type of thing Boston Dynamics does is sexy for investors / the general public obsessed with anthropomorphism, but it is very unclear whether this is the most efficient way to automate a task.

On the other hand, this sort of highly incremental "replace a human, warehouse stays the same" automation is in a weird way lower risk. Sure, the robot is hard to get right and might not work well, but you can try it out without reconfiguring the rest of your warehouse. Firms not really being pressed on labor costs, might still more "leisurly" want to to automated. They would do this less because profitability demands it, than because they are curiousn about either raising profits or cutting costs to induce more demand. (And indeed, one suspects the demand for most do-hickies amazon fullfills is highly elastic. Such "experiments" need to more low risk than high reward, and with this sort of automation, Boston dynamics doing the fancy pants robotics work absorbs all their risk. Perfect!

For the type of automation PP is talking about, in contrast t oI would encourage one to read https://homesignalblog.wordpress.com/2020/12/25/industrial-s...

If we really wanted to be as efficient possible, things would have gone very differently:

- We would still be using way more rail, and industry would be clustered around that rail minimizing trip distances,

- We would apply the simple logic of containerization at multiple levels, creating smaller countainers to fit inside larger containers

- Railway switching yards would have tons of simple af crude pnumatic push and pulls, shuffling the fixed-sized boxes between containers.

This is something like the Factorio model. We probably could have done this with 1980s-level internet, barcodes, etc. Or at least 1980s tech with 1990s cheaper prices and more advanced supply chains.

A lot of people "oh, it's harder than it looks, etc. etc." I dunno. I really don't believe it: the hard parts here are mainly getting people to coordinate on the standards, label things properly, etc. Lack of complete monopolies makes that very difficult.

I think we simply don't do these things long ago not because we can't but because such coordination and physical investment-heavy automation is expensive for firms, and they only do it "on demand" when there are labor market issues. The more we automate, the weaker and cheaper labor gets, and the weaker and cheaper labor gets in a consumer economy the more sluggish everything gets as there are aggregate demand issues. Together this means we stop automating way before our technological potential.

This, to me, is the most exciting part about UBI + shrinking the work week. Make labor scarse. Make aggregate demand strong and extremely reliable. Then automating finally makes economic sense, and for shear glory (and more leisure :)) we can engineer unbridled.

At least here in quebec, the private system is not allowed to provide a lot of services and cannot provide much more than basic consultation, cosmetic surgery or treatments that are more or less arbitrarily allowed by the public insurance system. Tons of people went to the state when the public system basically stopped treating anything they didn't deem to be essential for almost a year back in 2020. I know tons of US hospitals did the same, but some didn't so you at least had a choice.

Here, once the government decided that your disease, surgery or therapy wasn't "essential" you couldn't do anything at all because the private system can't do most them either. Both of my parents are nurses & according to them at one point their hospitals were almost entirely empty, but because of that arbitrary you still couldn't access most non-urgent care which was very frustrating for them.
Except, specifically to the Rittenhouse trial, it was about playback processing NOT capture time processing.

Capture time processing is also verifiable with regards to what stack a particular device uses with the use of metadata, and as such has little in the way of extra problems over other potential doctored evidence which have been possible for years without smart phone devices.

Do we question what color film would portray an image for example? Is a particular lensing affecting the truth of an image? A specific crop? There's no such thing as a perfectly true photo or video.
