The fancy way to think about it is

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Refinement_calculus

That is you need to be able to think about an application at various levels of granularity.

It is important, for instance, to be able to explain the business case of your application succinctly. Everybody from your devs to the salespeople need to understand this because it informs everything else they do.

Above the level of data structures realized in Java classes, SQL tables, XML documents and such there is this subject

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ontology

which is where mental models reside. My guess is that if "low code" is going to be a reality it will require the incorporation of well-developed ontologies. For instance, there are many applications that require a customer database and even though they all have some unique requirements there are numerous things like addresses, postal codes, phone numbers, etc. To pound out high-quality applications quickly we would want to to reuse as much stuff as possible from a general ontology (offering the possibility of reusing code as well as the data structures) but still be able to customize the application as necessary while hopefully deterring people from making harmful customizations.

An example of the latter is that many applications end up having one field for a contact's phone number, learn the hard way that somebody might have two phone numbers, put in a second field for the phone number, find out there could be three, ... It's highly predictable that contacts are going to have multiple phone numbers so the right thing to do is support multiple phone numbers from the beginning and do that all the way from the database to the UI. It might be fair to let specializers put on a constraint that "for now, a contact can have at most one number" but still reuse all the stuff that supports multiple phone numbers.

You certainly don't need to plan out every single detail of data structure in advance, but I can say that if you do want to deliver a complex application in terms of little feature updates that are actually little, you will need to be thinking ahead about data, not so much about code.
uhhh, ok. it is interesting that he can repurpose engineers from his other companies. he might need to make a parent company like Alphabet, because Google moves employees between orgs seamlessly too.
these institutions

Which are made up of people. So some people think other people "can't be trusted with the truth". Thus, the first set of people deserve to exert complete control over which information the second set are allowed to see. Do we have an objective test as to which people belong in which group? Will the first group ever abuse their power?

Find out on the next episode of "Everything will be different when I have all the power"!
ECT works on many treatments per patient where the active ingredient may be the same as sleep deprivation:

"Another proposed mechanism of action is that the seizures induced by ECT cause a profound change in sleep architecture (a reversible inhibition of REM sleep); it is this change in the state of the organism that drives the therapeutic effects of ECT and not any simple change in the release of neurotransmitters, neurotrophic factors and/or hormones."

So a small percentage of patients not relapsing after one sleep deprivation would actually make it the best available cure with reduced risks compared to ECT.

Other treatments possibly aren't curative and have not as serious side effects as ECT, more similar to sleep deprivation.

I'm not really interested in giving anyone medical advice, etc, based on my selective reading of pubmed, I just think it is important to list treatment options neutrally and with more consideration of what self treatment patients are probably very effectively applying if managed medical treatment is supposed to have a safer and better outcome.
no, they just require bigger coolers.
Why didn't you post it here?
Never minding the sketchiness of "working with" government on "misinformation", how is:

>There is also a formalized process for government officials to directly flag content on Facebook or Instagram and request that it be throttled or suppressed through a special Facebook portal that requires a government or law enforcement email to use.

… not a direct First Amendment concern?
Embedding-similarity based retrieval for one. Probably shouldn't get into the details here but Google has made incredible advances in the retrieval step of your typical retrieval / ranking pipeline and for a variety of reasons meta has not implemented them in production, despite having open sourced tools in this area. There are a few other advances like this Google has been using for long enough to publish on, meta engineers have working prototypes, but nothing is in production and everything breaks all the time.
> I'm a recruiter. I've known for a long time it drives people nuts that job ads don't have salary, or have a wide salary range.

Do you think it's true that you may be biased a certain way? Perhaps not in favor of job seekers?

> It is also true that a single job ad might be aiming to employ a number of people at various positions of seniority and experience.

Perhaps include separate descriptions for junior/senior roles?

> If it makes you mad that job ads do not list salary, then there are good reasons and you will just have to get over or it not apply for that job.

Why do you expect the candidate to have to change their mindset?

> Far more important is to know the salary target that you are aiming for.

Wouldn't having these ranges let a candidate become more informed about their salary target? Markets and salary ranges change over time, this would let them know what is current.
Not just an NDA but a full general release is absolutely standard. It’s not worth buying you out if you’re not willing to sell your right to sue.
Your number might be something other than cash flow. IIRC Twitter has net negative cash flow and about $4B in existing long term debt prior to the new debt financing of the acquisition.

The debt financing burden is a further burden on Musk: twitter generates no free cash flow. Musk has to pay the creditors, and his co-investors are not likely to put in more cash. Musk and every other investor bought-in to a deal that now would be valued at about half what they paid. Depending on how the debt is secured, this also means twice the percentage of the company's value is now encumbered by that debt. That means that if Twitter were sold today the equity investors could lose nearly their entire investment.

Even a lousy LBO would be of a company you can asset-strip to reduce the debt. What could Twitter sell? The financing really does not make sense.
I am not certain, but my surmise is if in-browser GPT-3 inference was possible it would've made the news. Seems likely to be an API call.
> the loved one of a politician was severely injured because of someone who believes the incorrect speech of influential figures

Would you be so kind as to elaborate which speech and which figures you believe are at fault?
Well, what has being more productive gotten them?
The speech is protected but you are not protected from the consequences it causes if you use it wrongly.
Would you apply to a company that posted a job that said "not open to Colorado residents" just so they could avoid posting a salary range? I sure as shit wouldn't.
Yes. Password manager with all essential entries shared between spouses. Plus a written document describing how to get into the password manager should we both go. We shared the location of the document with key people.

Still, there's probably more we could do, and a number of bases left uncovered. For example, we each have a number of monthly subscriptions that are auto-drafted but won't need to continue after death. We should identify those and have cancellation plans.

Plus we both have lots of crap, and possibly some important in various online/cloud storage services. Even with password access, it would be hard for survivors to know what to look at and why.

And then there are the accounts with two-factor auth. What if one of us goes with our phone? Oy!
I was questioning the claim that cars hit people as frequently as scooters do on sidewalks. It seemed unlikely to me, but I don't live in a major city. I appreciate you taking the time to share links. I read each and they're sad stories, particularly the one involving a child that was hit by a vehicle pulling into a driveway. I think it's pretty undeniable that car accidents will be more fatal than electric scooters, but that was never really a question.
It's the same exact thing. You did the same the exact thing.
> Normally this will lead to the best people updating their resumes and switching over to less toxic places ASAP

Potentially, but not necessarily. Some high performers may reasonably think "finally someone who is going to cut through all the bullshit in this bloated company and demand some accountability". Look through some of the stories when Steve Jobs rejoined Apple; it wasn't that dissimilar.

Now, that said, folks like this usually want and demand an inspiring leader. Some may think Musk fits the bill for that (I think I probably would have years ago), but these days I usually just want him to STFU with so much of the bullshit nonsense he sends out. I mean, the day after he closed the Twitter deal he tweeted a blatantly ridiculous and libelous story about Paul Pelosi - it's just more of the same stupid shit from him.
There were rumors of Tik Tok getting banned if the US decides to increase the squeeze on China. It could be an attempt to capture that audience.
Public servants, not individual citizens. The individual citizens are incidental and not important.

DHS is a public institution staffed by government agents acting as public servants, not as individual citizens.
That's exactly what the establishment would say to the non-well-behaved person.
I’m using Make for years now but usually only for very basic things. I always feel like it can do much more.
Are there any good docs/books/articles about advanced usage of make?
Multicast throughput is hard to measure because it is... well, multicast.

Depending on where your RP's are, and how you are transmitting multicast packets across a core, multicast performance can vary a lot.

The main advantage of multicast however, is that throughput between RP's doesn't need to be very large..
I do not want scooters and pedestrians to share the same space - that doesn’t mean they have to be sharing space with cars. Bike lanes are ideally suited for scooters, and the onus for protecting operators in those lanes is on area planners. Sidewalks are for pedestrians, and if the proper infrastructure doesn’t exist to support bikes and scooters, they shouldn’t be operating in that area. I was speaking specifically to Minneapolis, which does have a good amount of the proper infrastructure, but scooter riders (and to a lesser extent, cyclists) often ignore it.
VMs and emulators go a long way.
Also, this support is (or was) a work of enthusiasts, who keep (or kept) relevant hardware and software alive.
Its true that freedom can lead to harm but the alternative is much worse; no system is utopian but some systems are better than others. Collective authoritarian states can achieve great things but when they fail, they fail in very big ways. Places that value freedom may in many ways be more chaotic and even dangerous at times, but I believe they are more likely to interrupt themselves when they are moving toward calamity.
No they weren't able to generate the same existing code, both because that code is not included anywhere in the model, and because Copilot (not "Codepilot") has safeguards against this kind of situation, should it arise in the highly unlikely situation that a snippet is repeated thousands of times across thousands of repositories.

I've gotta let you know that people copy code snippets from all sorts of codebases with little regard for licenses anyway, because they're toothless in 99% of cases, AI or not. It's a nice illusion that anyone respects licenses, but it's just not true.
No, it's a measure of a weighted average quantity of output of goods and services (not of money) compared with the quantity of labor input.
I used to use Facebook, but the rampant ads and dark patterns drove me away. I can't stand FB pushing video content in my feed. Some ads are fine (sidebar-only preferably), I understand that you have to pay the bills somehow... but I really don't like "recommended" posts in my feed. The lack of autonomy drove me away.

> Today is full of cute Halloween photos, reports on last weekend's high school sports team's results ( our marching band won the regionals!), and not much else. If there's a vicious underbelly than I am blind to it.

You mention that you notice the ads for geeky t-shirts and cross body bags (what are those?), but what about the recommended content? Do Stories and Reels not get in your way? Don't you miss content from school pagse, kids clubs, activities, and team pages because the algorithm decides that it would rather show you yet-another-meme-post?

I'm glad that Facebook seems to work for you. But it really sucks for those of us who don't agree with Facebook's business practices, because you contribute to a network effect that actively excludes non-users. I don't like Facebook's dark patterns, their advertising, or their "recommended" posts. So I choose not to use it. It's absolute bollocks that I can't easily look at community event pages as a non-user, and it only makes me happier that I've opted out of such a toxic, exclusive community.
Instant 3d printing. It is too costly and slow now but things will change.
I worked on a fun project involving knots once:

Green Finance: Key Trends 2022
Green Finance is the buzzword in the world of modern finance. With the total number of assets in green bond ETFs USD 1.75 billion at the H1 of 2022 and an expectation of market growth of $2.36 trillion by 2023, it has become one of the popular investments.
Aside from this particular assault which obviously is harm and curbing assault in general should be a priority. How does one distinguish preemptively which speech will cause harm and in what form such that it can be mitigated?
Secrecy, censorship and propaganda are a great combo if you want to produce awful political outcomes. If you forbid freedom of speech, that's basically the same as saying people are too stupid to make their own decisions. This leads to a China or Soviet style dictatorship to protect the people.

That was always the contention of Bolshevism. The people are too dumb to protect their own interests. The party must be the vanguard of the proletariat to protect their interests. Democracy will be replaced by internal party democracy where only party members will vote.
The party will only make decisions in the people's best interest. Few people study history though so they're unaware that all of this has been tried before with disastrous results. Might as well move to China if you enjoy all your information being tightly curated by the authorities.
As long as they can get into the email, they can eventually get into everything else. If there are second factors in the way, I have backup codes printed out and stored in a safe location that they will be able to access. And this only matters if the official facilities, e.g.: Apple Legacy Contact, don't pan out.
John DeLorean's Daughter Reveals Model-JZD Tribute Sportscar
>They were looking to get traction based on the reputation of the founders and other tech influencers (like Kent C Dodds) in the react community.

This had the opposite effect for me.

I bought Dodds' Epic React course and it seemed to have been kicked to the curb in favor of joining and boosting Remix.

I remember some important course updates were pending, and seemed to come to a standstill while his entire blog was re-written in Remix.

Then a month or so later he joined that team. I really liked his prior educational content, in this it seemed like paid promotion for a particular framework.

The VC raise and bringing Dodds on seemed like peak (hopefully!) hypecycle for frontend JS stuff.

Great engineers don't do all nighters frequently. Some of the best software engineers I've met (quantum computing for Amazon, ML for protein design, etc.), go to bed at reasonably early and get eight hours of sleep, exercise and eat regularly, and have downtime. My guess is this type of life discipline helps keep up productivity over the long term.
"If it makes you mad that job ads do not list salary, then there are good reasons and you will just have to get over or it not apply for that job."

Looks like that's not going to be the case anymore.
What's wrong with just needing the minimum?

Why do they need a band with the maximum?
The investors in the acquisition? A company doesn't need to be listed on an exchange to have investors.
Any company with a job posting that had that line must fall into one of two categories:

1. Employ zero (0) people in the state of Colorado
2. Must have a "real" reason for restricting the geography i.e. the job is not remote.

I mostly used it as a way to get salary info up-front, even through a recruiter.
They already have! Connect (https://github.com/bufbuild/connect-web) is what you're looking for, as it's grpc-web compatible.
I wouldn't call it the "hot blooded Spaniards stereotype", it's more like the general snarkiness and arrogance that emanates from this type of social networks.

If you feel the need to escalate your view to Twitter and turn it into a one-sided view, then maybe there is a chance you are missing something out.
It's usually unemployment insurance and it's provided by the state (literally, it'll be the state the employee resides in - here's California's: https://edd.ca.gov ).

There ARE "insurance" products that will "defer your credit/mortgage payments in case of a job loss" - they are almost all universally some form of scam (or at least a very bad "insurance").
I'm sorry about tying the behavior to your dad, you mentioned him then switched to discussing why others act a certain way. I didn't read your comment carefully enough

The limp mode is not specifically tied to environmental controls. It also happens for high temperature in diffs, transmissions, etc. It protects components.

As to a rolling coal protest, people do this to also just be jerks. Basically inflammatory behavior never works as a protest. Politicians are already aware that people don't care about the environment and or hate emissions devices on vehicles.

Rolling coal is such an immature junvinile behavior, especially when people target vehicles. Imagine if someone has breathing issues and their car interior is flooded with poorly combusted diesel fumes. It's why whenever I see a lifted truck I just assume the person is an asshole.

Should I go up and ask them? What do you think would happen? They would think I'm attacking and judging them and I'm sure their response wouldn't be useful

Bad example. We do limit the consumption of Alcohol and also Driving because of the possibility of Drunk Drivers.

I also think some version of 2 is overwhelmingly likely.

In particular, I have always found the core premises of SETI surveys profoundly naive in terms of necessary preconditions for it to be meaningful.

"If your only tool is a giant radio telescope, you look for radio signals." And in specific you look in bands that fit various preconditions of your technology; and then you look for signals which are loosely comparable to the ones we humans used nearly a century ago.

The folly of belief that such surveys are likely to uncover unobfuscated communications by some other civilization was truly driven home to me reading here on HN in the last year or two a deep dive into an iPhone exploit that relied on exploiting some issues with its discovery protocols for other devices in the phone's vicinity. The specifics of its multiplexing and frequency hopping and duty cycling across various tasks were hard enough to follow when the priors of the stack and hardware are all very well known.

The only signal SETI is liable to see is the equivalent of someone blowing an air horn in a stadium explicitly to be heard. Maybe someone does that. Maybe they find the forest dark enough to not...

The more interesting survey IMO is to look carefully for Dyson-sphere style dimming...
Intuit’s Platform Engineering Team Chose an App Definition
I just have the computer and emails passwords and my phone pin stored in a safe place. I have a few critical MFA codes stored as well in case my phone suffers the same fate I do.

Any other important password can be reset from those things and discovery of accounts can be done via email and credit card statements.

My odds of dying in the next year are remote enough that I don't feel the need to get the process perfectly laid out when it probably change in the >40+ years I expect to live.
This is the dumbest story.

A board's job is to represent shareholders. Twitter now has none.
Multiple people have been locked out for saying that a man cannot get pregnant. Saying that cutting the healthy breasts of a young girl is child abuse, or saying that giving a child puberty blockers is also child abuse. Stop being so obtuse
“We do not support or endorse, nor are we associated with the new DeLorean Motor Companies using the DeLorean name. These new companies are not supported or endorsed in any way by John DeLorean and we do not wish to be associated with their actions against his Legacy,” notes the DNG Motors team.
Freedom of speech has its downsides, yes. My only point is to _add_ to the discussion, not _delete_ discussions. We have laws in place for defamatory speech and plenty of other exceptions. Saying false things about climate change or how "democracy" works can often be countered with basic facts. People will often still choose to believe fallacies at will and that is their right as an American.
>On the other hand, I'm aware that certain influential figures explicitly manipulate their speech in order to primarily amass personal power regardless of any second-order effects.

This also happens because if there's an explicit or implicit ban on addressing those topics and retaining a place in polite society, then only people crazy enough to disregard polite society will address those topics.
Ask HN: Hacker News for Non-Software Engineers
Hi HN!

While I love the culture and many of the articles, HN is not as relevant as I wish it was to my day-to-day job and interests. As a mechanical engineer/engineering generalist, I wish there was a version of HN that focused more on every type of engineering that's not software engineering. I wish I could find the blog posts about how to get the most out of a factory visit, the journal articles about new materials, and the latest startups that hire people with my skillset.

I'm not looking for Q&A or help forums (there are lots of good ones for that).
