This is cool! I wouldn't be too surprised if Apple is doing something similar today.

Inertial navigation systems [0] use integration to calculation position, so errors add up quickly. The first in car navigation system [1] used inertial navigation. I think it used places where it knew the vehicle would (should?) stop as waypoints where the velocity could be set to zero. For example, if we think we're near a stop sign, and our calculated velocity is zero-ish, make it zero.

It's pretty amazing how accurate smartphones can be when you're looking at your position while moving in an area that doesn't have GPS, probably using similar techniques. The mobile device knows (is guessing) you're in a vehicle (using measured speed, Bluetooth connection to a vehicle, the fact that you're on a road, etc.) and can snap your location to a road on a map, as well as project your position.

It makes sense that inertial error could be similar for similar movement patterns, say driving over expansion joints in a concrete road. A ML model seems like a good way to try to compensate for that.

The reason I wonder if Apple is doing this already is they have all the pieces...they even know which vehicle I'm in, because I pair with the Bluetooth system in both vehicles. So they could actually build a model per vehicle, which I imagine would be more accurate.

They do have a patent pending for applying machine learning to the location domain, looks like this one is for GNSS though: https://patents.google.com/patent/US20200049837A1/en?oq=US20...

True, most of us are financially illiterate.

Hell how many people really understand how the economy works? Our society is too complex.
They were leaders of imperial britain and imperial russia, not imperial germany. Though both were of mostly ethnic german stock. I don't think anyone would disagree that the british and russian empires were two of the most terrible empires in history. The british empire easily being the more horrible as the british empire was far more successful than the russian empire.
As others have pointed out, licensing is unclear. It would be nice if each logo could link the official branding guidelines page when possible. For example, here are Twitter[1] and Spotify[2] branding guidelines.

As for if you can freely distribute these logos, I would consult a lawyer. It could be fair use, but I would not risk it.

Well, yes, a speedometer is perfectly fine if all you care about is "speed".

The point of the technique, however, is dead-reckoning of position which means integrating speed, which is prone to accumulate errors over time if you just look at the wheels.

The title of the paper, I think, could be better.
I hadn't heard of that! Maybe that is what I meant.
levels.fyi shows $498,910 in total compensation for a staff level SWE at Google. Different companies compensate using a different blend of cash and equity. At a public company like Google, it's all liquid. Similarly, an E6 at Facebook gets $576,886.

These are also roughly speaking first-year salaries. You can expect a refresh grant equal to 1/4 of a new-hire equity grant each year vesting over 4 years, plus a staff-level can get a signing bonus of $50-100K.

After 3-4 years in a staff role you can easily be making $1-2M/yr.

It's probably not 380K base, which is very high, it's likely 300K base + 25% bonus target = $375K, give or take. That's not hugely more than any of the mega-caps have been paying in cash comp for staffie's for like 5+ years.
I'm wondering if we'll ever get to a point where we can invoke fake vacation / travel experiences, like We Can Remember It for You Wholesale (more popularly, Total Recall), by creating ML-generated images of the trip rather than inducing a dream. It seems plausible.
The places that need to replace COBOL devs aging out of the work force with apps still running are among the places least likely to practice age discrimination to start with (and even if they were inclined to, there's not a pipeline of fresh out of college/bootcamp COBOL devs.)

(C#/Java have lots more opportunities at the same type of workplaces, so aren't bad choices but also lots more competition at all experience levels and from more traditional career paths; still, late-entrants with relative domain expertise can be quite competitive with pure programmers.)
Boo LU!!! Go with stable QR!
Oh, I didn't even realize this was a blog for an open source project. I assumed it was someones personal blog.

Two other things that you may want to consider:

1. PCI compliance. If you're involved in the storage of payment information, you may want to look into these regulations.

2. Regarding point 3 of your mission "...only integrating with specific partners to lock you in (e.g., Stripe Billing only working with Stripe Payments)...". I think there are many companies out there who want to integrate with more than a single payment provider (eg Braintree, Stripe, Adyen, etc) but run into this problem. It increases the cost of payments due to the "rent-seeker" charge method they use. Providing a design framework for how a single company could integrate with multiple providers could be beneficial. This is something I've considered trying to build, but I think it could fit with this initiative.
Unrelated to the content of the email:

Can we please get a better UI for mailing lists? The text is too small for me to comfortably read, so I used Chrome's zoom feature. But once I zoom in, the text wrapping is completely static so I'm forced to scroll horizontally.

Is there a more accessible way to read content on mailing lists?
I agree it's not a great idea, for multiple reasons, but I get why the poster who brought it up would prefer letting bugs slip through to padding everything with more refactoring and adding tests. Deliver features fast(er than you really should be, probably), then coast on some easy bugs for a bit.

External perception of how well a developer is doing often has very little to do with how good a job they're actually doing. I don't think making refactoring and test-making your "easy work" would have the same effect on appearances as the fast-features-and-some-bugs approach, at least at a lot of places.
OP: Please fix the title to match the article!
Not talking about fortification. Food processing in this context means taking food through some incredible steps in order to create a cheap, "addictive" product you can sell. This often involves adding some kind of sugar.
These are obvious abbreviations in the context. If you're working on a proof you might not want lots of 'theorem' and 'formula' to clutter up your screen.

The programming world converged on full word variables, but it also converged on {} instead of BEGIN END etc.

Could it be more about large institutional investors using ESG indexes in their products? Like BlackRock's ESG push [0]. Maybe I'm misinterpreting the value of the index for institutional investors, but I could see companies like Tesla disappointed that large funds might avoid investing in them based on listings like these.

Read the article, he addresses this exact objection.
I don't think that's a bad theory, but I'd point more towards three particular events as critical:

1. Postgres 7 supporting windows (I _think_ 7 was the first). That brought a ton of users into the community

2. Oracle's acquisition of mysql, and subsequent forking. That caused a lot of people to look around for other solutions

3. Amazon RDS

Google SHOULD NOT promise anything else. This is critical for users security.

Yes, developers and business claim they make user data, privacy and security a top priority. As we have seen from plenty of developers on the facebook platform, if not checked, they far to often lie, betray users trust or are just totally incompetent.

At least on the business side, giving restricted scopes access (ie, enabling a third party server to read all emails in a domain) is a major permission. It needs to be treated like this. In many cases a problem here unlocks a LOT more because email is used the default password for everything (via password reset options and more).

I hope google holds a firm line here and doesn't bow to hacker news type social media pressures - we have too much evidence of bad and poor behavior by developers to just trust them.
Hey Cletus! I'm Anh-Tho, one of the cofounders of Lago.

Totally agree with you on web3 identity and its edge cases, it's just billing ^10000 in terms of complexity.

I think for 'billing', usually people (especially non-tech people), don't understand the different blocks of the pricing stack: authorization, pricing grid, billing itself, invoicing (they often only see end-result: a receipt or invoice), payment gateways, dunnings, accounting etc).
This post barely scratches the surface of it, but we intend to write and deep-dive more on each of these building blocks.
Biden to Launch Indo-Pacific Economic Plan in Next Days in Japan
In a presentation yesterday, I noticed “Jews” appear in the live closed caption stream of my talk.

It threw me off for a few seconds and I went back to the recording to figure out it took the word “choose” completely out of grammatical context to form a new clause of just “Jews”, as if I’d been speaking in complete sentences, then suddenly just decided to interject a random word between two half-sentences.
> Every time I've gone looking for COBOL jobs on job sites out of curiosity I always see them paying pretty poorly

Sure, but the places known for paying well in the industry are also fairly overtly hostile to late-entrants and non-traditional career paths unless those people have already built a successful business and are getting acquihired.

Sure, I have time enough to pick up another ticket at 3:30pm. I also have time to fuck it up because I've already racked my brain fixing two other tickets, attending a morning standup, and sitting through a company-wide DEI webinar when I should have been having lunch.

So, what would you prefer? That I clock out early because I've put in a solid day's work despite not getting to have lunch, or that I do a half-assed job just to look busy that I'll just have to revert and fix the next morning?

Ok, well whenever the Tragedy of the Commons comes up we should keep in mind while it probably applies in some cases in the case that Garrett Hardin originally wrote about it didn't apply https://climateandcapitalism.com/2008/08/25/debunking-the-tr... which I mean, when I first heard about it in my high school classes I thought, there is some bullshit here because if I'm a farmer and Geoff's a farmer and he keeps grazing more of his herd on the commons then me and some of the other farmers will show up at Geoff's some night and solve the problem, that is to say there may be a 'tragedy' coming, but not the one Hardin supposed.

Co-founder of Motif here. We're building Motif because we think that ultimately, there is no difference between a document and a full-blown website. The tool needed to author such docs should be at the intersection between a coding environment and a word processor, and leverage open web technologies. The goal is that, by building a platform geared for content creation, with a rich set of tools and helpers (think drag and drop, asset management, WYSIWYG editing, shared components, instant publishing...), we can make software development accessible to more people than just developers, and improve collaboration between teams that have been siloed apart in different tools.

Today, Motif is a collaborative text editor (based on Monaco + Yjs + Replicache) that runs entirely in the browser (thanks to esbuild, no local Node dev environment required). It also syncs with the file system so that you can use your tools of choice (we posted about this last week [1]). It supports MDX [2], Markdoc [3], React/JS/JSX, Tailwind CSS, and ES module imports. It features instant publishing (as a Next.js application hosted on Vercel).

Why MDX and Markdoc? While we do think that MDX provides the most versatile format and the most powerful API (with the Unified.js ecosystem, which we will soon support), we want to give optionality to experiment and choose what is best for a given situation. Other formats, like AsciiDoc, might also be supported down the line.

That SRE proved some good safety properties of the sodium cooled reactors.

Specifically the most dangerous fission products from a biological standpoint are radioactive isotopes of iodine.

When there is fuel damage, the iodine reacts chemically with the sodium to form the salt sodium iodide. NaI dissolves in the sodium and forms a eutectic; it doesn't go anywhere and the I eventually decays in place

At the SRE they didn't observe any radioiodine and that's the reason why.

Even if they were paying it as cash, it's likely $300K base + 25% bonus target = $375K.

Years ago I read about a Russian product based on facial recognition. Their pitch was that you could take a picture of an attractive stranger, send them the picture, and for 100$ they would send you all of her information in a matter of minutes so that you could strike up a conversation. Of course this sound really creepy, but why? The information is public. Is it the amount of money? Police and governments want this sort of tool. We don't bat an eye when a cop uses such tools to pull all of your license/insurance information during a traffic stop. Is it more creepy or less creepy if such tools are also made available to the public?
I don't even mean federated auth.

I mean if you take some email client application that went out of it's way to support OAuth2+imap for google via a plugin then even if you replace all of google's info in the plugin it won't work for other OAuth2+imap implementations. Every OAuth2 implementation is a different thing, as you say. But the megacorps are pretending it's some standard protocol. It's not and the fallout will be much worse than people having issues because they picked easy passwords.

This is massively different than actual protocols like pop3 or imap where all you do is change the info but the protocol stays the same.
I am surprised that for dead-reckoning of an automobile position, one would not just use a something akin to a "mouse".

Exactly.

At least some of the problem here needs to be laid at the feet of users relying too heavily on the web to learn everything. Your vehicle's owner manual has instructions for how to change a tire, with the bonus that it will even know where the tools that come with your car are located and whether you have some extra features like locking lug nuts.
That /sounds/ right, but training still has a forward part, so OP does raise a really great question. And looking at the silicon, the neural engine is almost the size of the GPU. Really need someone educated in this area to chime in :)
I agree with GP. The article's author is completely wrong IMO. If there is a difference in the approach of a twenty-something and a forty years old to start a software development career is not in the language choice. I think both should consider the same things regarding their choice. Namely: what they feel they like more and what has the most jobs.

The difference is more likely to be in the interview skills. How they can make an effort to relate more with the interviewer (since they won't "naturally" connect through popular videogame tastes, memes, slangs, or whatever).

It's fashionable to talk about how dystopian social media is, but in my experience, it pales in comparison with the pure hell that is trying to use ID.me and realizing that such a poorly engineered system sits between a loved one of mine and their social security payments.

I tried to help set a relative up a while back to receive his payments, which required authenticating with ID.me. Over and over again, the facial recognition feature would fail and prompt to take a new video. It took reaching out to a support line to assist, but they weren't particularly fast or helpful. I couldn't imagine being his age and trying to set this stuff up alone.

For every beautiful, artisinal website experience out there that takes UX seriously, there's an equally horrible one that stands between you and something you need and it's pretty clear that the people behind that system don't give a damn about you the user.

It's not just OSI. Debian, FSF, etc. all don't see that as free software specifically because it restricts the ways that you can use the software - thereby defeating the point of having the source code in the first place.

That's no different than some EULA saying you can't do xyz with this software without purchasing a $xxx,xxx license from the vendor or whatever: it's the same effect. It's an artificial boundary put in place that restricts the user from doing something.

I don't find that particular view "esoteric" and I'm curious about why you do.
The problem I have with this idea is that while that demographic may fit that pattern, this should only constitute the expected portion of the population that "naturally" exhibit these issues.

The article likely ties into the hypothesis that the occurence of the symptoms are increasing in the population. I don't know if this is true, but anecdotally as a parent I'm seeing these behaviors as more or less the norm in 4-13 year olds that I interact with, and those who don't fit this are the ones you are surprised by.
So if I have this right, NFTs are a way to hand over a wad of money to get a receipt back that demonstrates proof of ownership of something that isn't in your possession and which can be deleted/modified/copied at any time, and your tool is a way for buyers to have increased confidence that the thing which can be deleted/modified/copied at any time is in fact the original? I think I'm too old for this nonsense.
Then more reason not to suggest people go into COBOL I guess (not saying you suggested they should, just responding about this thread overall).
Ask HN: Which app or tool (no longer existing/discontinued) do you miss most?
Hey HN!

Which app or tool (if any!) that is no longer developed or supported — or perhaps so far from mainstream that it’s practically dead — you used to use a lot, like a lot and now miss a lot? Can be pro or personal. Feel free to share more than one, if you like.

I remember that I was pretty sad when Macromedia (later Adobe) Fireworks stopped being developed. I always liked it better than Ps. But that was "a while" ago and right now we have far better tools, like Figma.

Does our industry leave any space for tech-nostalgia at all? Or is the current toolstack just better in every respect?

I don’t understand how you can possible say something like “more complex than” here. There are so many axes and trade off spaces at play. In some ways it’s simpler, in some ways it’s more complex. Nomad is easier in a lot of ways because it solves a subset of the problems. You can use it independently of consul and vault but that induces many costs.
