> Certainly we can't overnight, but it doesn't mean we can't at all or that we couldn't or shouldn't try to, generally speaking.

Ok, but we have tried. A number of times. And it has failed. Ironically, foreign car companies probably do the best job with doing manufacturing plants in the US right now. But many of the experiments to bring manufacturing back to the US, especially with electronics, have failed. See also the Foxconn disaster in Wisconsin that cost billions but never got off the ground. And the attempts by Apple, Motorola and others to make products here. And the flat-out education crisis that has prevented more chip fabs from even being built stateside.

I’m not saying don’t try. But we have tried. And it has failed. Abs the quality of labor is more expensive and worse and I don’t blame any company for looking elsewhere.

> it can also mean actual national security concerns relative to geopolitical and strategic realities that necesitate hire costs that outweigh other benefits.

Ok, but “assembled in America” wouldn’t solve this. Almost every single part — the semiconductor, the memory, the screens, the screws, the plastic or aluminum housings, the batteries, the battery controllers, are made in China or Vietnam or Taiwan. Using minerals sourced from Africa or South America or whatever. So unless you can move the entire supply chain to this region (and we do not have the labor, skilled or unskilled to do any of that), a supply chain that has been carefully and meticulously setup for maximum tax benefits for all parties involved, what benefit is achieved of having a person in America assemble a phone with an SoC and RAM and an SSD that was still made in Asia? If there is a national security concern, that concern will exist whether the product is assembled in Texas or in Shenzhen. If there is going to be a back door, it’ll come in anyway.

Even the solution of building for fabs here (which we should do and should have started investing in at least a decade ago) is difficult because we don’t have the labor figures to staff this fabs. And those fabs are largely skilled jobs. TSMC and others are offering insane amounts of money to college grads to move to Asia to work in the fabs. Intel is way behind on building new fabs and part of that is labor-related. And although Intel is based in the US, it doesn’t make the chips that run in 99% of the world’s electronics.

I’m not saying there aren’t potential security problems. I’m saying that those will exist regardless of where stuff is assembled and that globally, being able to upend the whole state of supply chain and logistics away from Asia and into another geographic area is something that would take a decade on the low-end and the parts of the world that would be well-equipped to take on that sort of load (Vietnam, India, some parts of Central and South America), have their own major geopolitical struggles.

It’s a difficult problem to solve and we should absolutely be less reliant on one region for all of our manufacturing, but we need to acknowledge this isn’t a problem that can be solved quickly or that frankly, the US is well-positioned to solve at all.
Who said it’s for onboarding? It contains good resources, a quick overview of some crates and tools and shows some quick comparison examples - all good things for people who haven’t really touched rust. It won’t shape a developer for life, or even a week for that matter.
Thanks for the response. Is there any way a customer who slips through the cracks could do that directly with TD? (e.g. "I'm Jim Kirk, here's my ID, a notarized affidavit, a blood sample...")
Extensive deployment of renewables is already changing the grid substantially. Smaller grids with more local sources may be cheaper than the large generator and grid model that has so far dominated.

Other way around.
Why shouldnt the us and the eu plus friends manufacture bluetooth headsets with the aid of high tech robotics? As soon as that type of high volume low price manufacturing moves back you will see a lot more innovation. This will only benefit everyone’s progress including in non aligned countries. The r&d and training to build and create robotics would be rather welcome.
> Define text.

UTF-8 for all new projects.

> If Unicode, how much Unicode should be allowed?

I think the question is more like "how much should be supported", which is project dependent. If it's just a question of "allowance" then the answer is probably "all of it". If you're a UTF-8 processor, you shouldn't go out of your way to discard or disallow certain codepoints without a good reason.

> How do you identify the end of a Unicode text stream, other than closing the input stream (or explicitly waiting for a out-of-band signal like a form submission)?

I think the UNIX-y answer here is "end of text stream" and "closed stream" are the same. But if you do want to wrap text streams in another text stream you have a couple options: HTTP uses Content-Length and Content-Encoding: chunked (length-prefixing), while programming and markup languages use delimiter characters which must be escaped in the inner stream.

What you definitely should not do is, amusingly, what C does: Reserve a text character (NUL) to use as a delimiter, and hope that character doesn't appear in your content.
Well, it's not the cell phone (iPhone or Android) that is doing the spam ID, it's a service being queried as the phone call is being placed. Something like, Alice (the originator) calls Bob (the terminator). Just before the phone network causes Bob's phone to ring, it requests (via the network) a service that says "classify the originating number" and that service might return both a name "Alice" and some form of reputation (like "normal" or "potential spam") which then gets sent to the phone that causes it to start ringing (I know, because I worked at a company providing such information).

What I found works for me is to assign "silence" as the default ring tone, and give each of my contacts a non-default ring tone. If someone not in my contact list calls me, they can leave a voice mail message. Yes, it means I might miss a critical "deal with me now" call, but that's a chance I'm taking.
Maybe not for the software guys/gals but this is unfortunately solid advice for others. My experience outside the normal HN jobs/industry is that if you’re remote you’re considered second class.

I definetely want more episodes of LOST. I would drop the infamous season 6 and generate more seasons following the 5th season.
This field is moving fast! Something like this has just been released. Checkout DreamFusion, which does something similar: They start with a random 3D NeRF field and use the same diffusion techniques to try to make it match the output of 2D image diffusion when viewed from random angles! Turns out it works shockingly well, and implies fully 3D representations are encoded in traditional 2D image generators

I'd recommend you to check out the specialized self hosting distros and systems such as FreedomBox , Sandstorm.io, yunohost or Cloudron . I have not used it myself, so i cant recommend which system to use. However i have gone trough the pain of setting up loads of self-hosted apps. Especially if you really want to use your system, not maintain it all the time you will search for the most easy solution. There is nothing more annoying then to fix your system every month before you can continue working. I would also love to hear from people using these systems on a daily basis. Another possibility for lots of self-hosted apps is a NAS (Synology or QNAP). However not everything runs on these systems, sometimes because they are not available, sometimes because the hardware cannot be upgraded.
Which points to why the whole "two consecutive quarters" rule is not, and should not be, definitive. The country could see a 50% collapse in a single quarter and see 2-3% growth each quarter for years, and not be in a recession by that definition.

It wouldn't be unusual for a major economic calamity to occur within a single quarter. Both Covid lock downs and the collapse of AIG/LB happened within a matter of weeks.
Even better would be just committing to what's there - it's so widely deployed that it's not seriously problematic. It's there to be used.
Learn how to use these models is the easiest answer. Prompt Engineering (getting a model to output what you actually want) is going to be something of an art form and I would expect it to be in demand.
It's not about random short clips - imagine introducing a character like Mickey Mouse and reusing him everywhere with the same character - my guess is it's going to take a while until "transfer" like that will work reliably.
It won't be easy. But below are my thoughts:

#1: Master these new tools
#2: Build a workflow that incorporates these tools
#3: Master storytelling
#4: Master ad tracing and analytics
#5: Get better at marketing yourself so that you stand out

The market for your skillset may shrink, but I doubt it will disappear...

Think about it this way...

Humans in cheaper countries are already much more capable than any AI we've built.

Yet, even now, There are practical limits on outsourcing.

It's hard for me to see how this will be much different for creative work.

It's one thing to casually look at images or videos, when there is no specific money-making ad in mind.

But as soon as someone is spending thousands to run an ad campaign, just taking whatever the AI spits out is unlikely to be the real workflow.

I guess I'm suggesting a more optimistic take...

View it as a tool to learn and incorporate in your workflow

I don't know if you gain much by stressing too much about being replaced.

And I'm not even sure that's reality.

I'm almost certain, most of the humans to lose their jobs will be people who either because of fear or stubbornness refuse to get better, refuse to incorporate these tools, and are thus unable to move up the value chain.
AFAIK you don't have to use flakes. Same as it's fine to only use shell.nix. No system is for eternity, nix builds are deterministically cached, often never reproduced, so I see no strong arguments against using direnv with shell.nix.
Ok, I thought you were saying callback hell is cool. But I think you're saying async-first is the way it should be and the runtime should handle it. Which is a good idea in most cases. I think Go is pretty awesome for this approach.
Each new space based platform also is built to see different parts of the spectrum. Hubble happens to be mainly visible. It is not irrelevant just because JWST is now active. To the contrary, they are combining images from each platform as a composite because they see different things for the same objects.

There would be no purpose of launching a new visible spectrum space platform unless it is going to seriously dwarf the size of Hubble. Hubble can already be upgraded with new sensors, and has. Which is part of the reason Hubble remains relevant. Hindsight being 20/20 and all, JWST learned from Hubble's need for contact lenses, which would be assumed to follow for whatever next is.
Thanks - that's a succinct and interesting summary of something; but I'm not sure how it's a reply to my comment :-)
ClickHouse supports ad-hoc analytics, real-time reporting, and time series workloads at the same time. It is perfectly suited for user-facing analytics services. It supports low-latency (<100ms) queries for real-time analytics as well as high query throughput (500 QPS and more) - all of this with real-time data ingestion of logs, events, and time series.

Take some notable examples from the list: https://clickhouse.com/docs/en/about-us/adopters/, something around web analytics, APM, ad networks, telecom data... ClickHouse is perfectly suited for these use cases. But if you try to align these scenarios with, say, BigQuery, they will become almost impossible or prohibitively expensive or just slow.

There are specialized systems for real-time analytics like Druid and Pinot, but ClickHouse does it better:

There are specialized systems for time-series workloads like InfluxDB and TimescaleDB, but ClickHouse does it better:

Well, even if you want to process a text file, ClickHouse will do it better than any other tool:
https://github.com/dcmoura/spyql/blob/master/notebooks/json_...

And ClickHouse looks like a normal relational database - there is no need for multiple components for different tiers (like in Druid), no need for manual partitioning into "daily", "hourly" tables (like you do in Spark and Bigquery), no need for lambda architecture... It's refreshing how something can be both simple and fast.

There's only so much surface area on the earth that we can cover with solar panels and global energy consumption is exponential. Abundant energy will enable more possibilities such as removing CO2 from the atmosphere, desalinating water and pumping it into arid regions, and opening up space tourism for the majority of the worlds' population.
Whenever people say things like "Use Rust, it's memory safe" I know that they're clueless. Nobody has shown any evidence that for the average project, written by average developers, writing in Rust won't result in just as many exploitable bugs as writing in C.

Also I had to laugh at this:

> No one is talking about absolute safety guarantees. I am talking about specific ones that Rust makes: these are well-documented and formally defined

It was forked by a startup with devs/founders who've worked on QEMU and ScyllaDB, among other things. I don't think they're chasing resume credits. :)
As Google is finding out though that user trust is easy to break and can greatly impact your future products’ success.

If Meta continues destroying users’ faith in Instagram the way they have in Facebook, it will gravely hurt any attempt by Meta to build their AR/VR empires.

A good counter example is Apple, a company which actually realized how impactful this can be with their Mac business.

Apple’s Mac business is their second smallest, ahead only of the iPad (which thanks to shared development costs and components with iOS is almost certainly more profitable) and behind accessories, services and iPhone.

And yet, Apple invested significant R&D, and spent years publicly apologizing for the state of the mac, humiliatingly reversing course in some decisions and promising they would do better until they actually did better.

Because Apple recognized that their commitment to the Mac meant their customers could trust them. And the years they were ignoring it (probably in a misguided belief that the relatively small size of the segment meant it didn’t matter) led to a massive loss of trust that was clearly spilling over into their iOS products as well.
“Back in the early days” being the key phrase.

Been using Yotta since the early access-ish launch. I was always prowling for something like it once the American Savings Promotion Act (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/American_Savings_Promotion_Act) was passed. Does its job, does it easily, and my effective APY has been MORE than competitive. For certain.

I have always bought I-bonds direct so doesn't apply to me, but making that easier for the average person -- and more importantly, increasing awareness of their existence -- is a good thing. It's about accessibility for people still getting their financial footing.

Just getting the average person to save more is a good thing, and accessibility is key to that.
I had this issue despite having full access to multiple other factors. I was stuck in an automated fraud detection loop.
It's probably because they appear to be cranks who keep promising results right around the corner and never deliver.

Here's a story from 10 years ago about how Brillouin's technology can generate electricity for 1 cent per kilowatt hour, linked from their official blog at the time [1]:

https://web.archive.org/web/20130515012248/http://pesn.com/2...

If they had an empirically working device, by now they could just be using it generate heat and/or power and leave it up to better-funded institutes to figure out the mechanism after the fact. Since they're not selling the devices and they're not selling power, and they've been "iterating" for years, I don't think that they actually have anything.

Not so much anymore. I worked (last day was yesterday) at a company that had services on the call path. The legacy product, supporting CDMA, is on SS7. The newer stuff, supporting LTE, is Internet based (SIP over UDP to us).
Reducing investment/savings reduces demand, as they are the source of funds for businesses to spend. Reduced demand reduces prices.

I think this indirectly answered my question. What if Yotta goes out of business or decides to stop supporting this?

We'll just get direct access to our TD account. Doesn't sound like this would happen automatically though? So if you guys suddenly closed shop with no warning, what recourse do we have?
As someone that struggles with stability regularly, I am concerned by this trend.

Sure there are elements of our society that are adding stresses we did not have before. I'm not against that.

Sprints, at their best, are interruption buffers. They provide a preset time before which, engineers shouldn't be interrupted from getting stuff done by whipsawing to new priorities.

That big new product is still going to take three months to deliver, regardless of sprints, but you don't get to pull the team off working on it for some new idea until next sprint.
This looks really interesting. Does it turn off the env after its done, cost would be a factor here when trying this out.
The reason the government defines the recession as 4 months is because we did not see two quarters of GDP decline as much as we saw 4 months of it.

Shift the quarter to begin in Feb and you'd only have 1Q of decline.

That is why the 2 quarters rule is stupid and why 2020 doesn't fit the rule.

I think we can agree that there is such as thing as a too-hard class, though? If I deliver a graduate level math lecture to a group of middle schoolers, they simply won't gain anything from it.

Teachers should aim for a certain optimal difficulty, such that most students are challenged but not lost. It sounds like this teacher was losing too many students, so not much learning was happening (at least relative to time invested).
We haven't had any increase in unemployment yet, this isn't a recession.

Two periods of negative GDP growth without a rise in unemployment is unprecedented, but that is largely the result of bullwhip effects of the pandemic which was unprecedented.

The actual recession is going to be substantially worse.

The people who argue that we're in a recession right now due to two quarters of negative GDP growth while discounting the fact that every other indicator of the economy has been pretty healthy up until recently just makes me think "tell me you were too young to remember 2008/2001/1992/1982/1980 without telling me you were too young to remember".

IDK it is probably pointless to argue about this with people who will double-down on the strict definition that they think they know. Wait for another 12-24 months and let me know if it feels and order of magnitude worse or not.

(Agreed, though, that CEOs are generally almost naive optimists and that when they're all pessimistic about the economy it can almost become a self-fulfilling prophecy)
The opposite, actually — people NEED Russia’s oil. They don’t have the option to stop buying it without a lot of pain. So Russia’s biggest money-fountain has stayed on despite sanctions.

Meanwhile, China exports a lot of things that people don’t need. You can turn those off quicker.

Again — huge oversimplifications. But I think reasonably solid mental model.

I do enjoy the contention that the laws of economics changed in 1960. Nor does "low" inflation prove that inflation is not caused by running the printing press. And nor is "low" inflation actually low. Going through my dad's estate, I'm reminded of how much cumulative inflation there's been since 1980. A 1980 dollar is worth $3.14 in 2020.
