And all of this abilities are literally baked in chip. For example, if Google (or user/owner of the device) decides to change "OK Google" to "OK Alphabet" than all the old chips will be unable to support such a newcoming. So, I do not agree that the technology exists, these are way closer to speaking dolls than to computers.
It reads a lot like Neal Stephenson to me, both the tone and the topic.

Anyway, if you like that sort of dives into a weird subculture let me recommend Sam Fussell's Muscle. Here's an interview with the author that got me to read the book: http://www.drmichaeljoyner.com/sam-fussell-an-interview-with...

I have multiple 2-step verification options in Google Workspace. However it defaults always to "app confirmation" which they call "Google prompts". I'd prefer Authenticator.
It's kind of a strange level of snark to focus on the "1%." I would guess that many of the lifestyle articles in the NYT could include the same disclaimer in the headline.
https://dmarc.postmarkapp.com/ has good help pages and free tests/monitoring. We pay for their $10/month digests and are very happy.
Named after Enkidu, the ancient Sumerian mythological figure?

You’re speaking to impedance mismatch which is one of the classic blunders.

Systems that don’t use the same jargon as the user base end up having substantial bugs, especially ones the authors insist are features. The abstractions are a bad fit for the problem domain and they break things.

I’m in a project that did that massively, at the hands of both architectural astronauts and another common blunder: people who seemed to think the concerns of the user base are beneath them tend to create a fantasy world for themselves where they can pretend they work on something more esoteric than the petty concerns of the people who pay their salaries.

Because of the bullshit (and more importantly, the top-heavy sources of that bullshit) we’ve lost a lot of the better people who could have fixed that situation. Meanwhile we are also trying to expand into a new industry, and I can’t help but wonder if we would have been in trouble even if our abstractions had matched our core competency. I would have needed all of those missing people to make the refactors necessary to do that work, so the agents of chaos and delusion are a little vindicated.

I have a couple of things I want to button up but they are all fast approaching. I don’t expect to be here in six months. I’ve started fantasizing about my exit interview. In which I will probably suggest that my team is too powerful and isolated from the end user and so needs to be disbanded, its members dispersed into groups one and two steps closer to the users. So as to concretize some of the code and confront them with the day to day struggles of internal customers, dealing with the batshit parts of the code.

"Leave opinion on aesthetics to the experts"?
Not everything is ugly.

https://www.caranddriver.com/news/a41137685/2024-pagani-utop...

Hyper cars like Pagani or Bugatti aren't cars. They are art. They are beautiful. Compare this to the 40 different car brands of white midsize suvs which all look exactly the same. Clear artistic difference.

how many video games have absolutely breath taking art? Recently was watching jacksepticeye's god of war playthrough and omg it's beautiful.

It's not that there is no aesthetics anymore. There's more art today than ever.

For some reason the author has found some spots like his local architecture as ugly but seemingly also cant see the beauty. The article says more about the author than actual art.
Very much reminds me of the stories of my dad how they'd have to start really big bulldozers back in the day of draining german marshes. You'd first hand-crank a small generator to fill up a small battery for the electric starter motor. Once the battery is sufficiently full, you'd engage the starter motor, which in turn spins up a flywheel at higher torque than the crank could. Once that flywheel was up to a certain amount of speed and momentum, you'd engage that with the main crankshaft of the big old engine and hope it had enough power to push the big engine through one or two strokes. That's what it needed to start running on its own. Otherwise you'd have to start over.

Big machines and complex startup machines are surprisingly fascinating.
I don't know Emacs Lisp but didn't RMS just said in his talk that they changed the default to lexical scoping?
Yeah, and that's kinda sad. However, old Thinkpads are still totally usable. I was using T420 until a year ago and the only thing that I hate about it was the absolutely awful screen. It was 1600×900 with absolutely horrible colors. There's a few ways to install a better display but it might be tricky [1].

Otherwise it was a decent “daily driver” laptop, in many aspects superior even to current gen MacBooks, particularly repairability, ports, keyboard quality. I'm using a 2020 MacBook Air now which I bought to try out the M1, and some aspects where it excels are screen (obviously!) and speakers, but I think those are comparable to a little more modern ThinkPads (xx40 maybe?).

Not necessarily. Particles will all be charged plasma and it is possible that those will be deflected by magnetic fields. But I am not astrophysicist so you would want to check on it.

Also, in contrast with the flash where all light has the same speed, the particles will have different speed so it will all be smeared in time (read -- much smaller in amplitude and hard to detect) and arriving much later than the flash.

Then from the point of view of observer on Earth surface, charged particles will not be coming exactly from the source but at a bit of an angle (due to magnetic fields present). Again, I have no knowledge about the magnitude of the effect and I also suspect that the people who know this shit have some way to account for it...
By meta do you Facebook? If so just say that, it's confusing otherwise.
Whats the motivation behind this and how does it compete with ISC DHCPd and Kea? I am operating a mid sized infrastructure using ISC DHCPd and plan on the long run to migrate to Kea for its API, Stork interface and convenience tools.
That sounds like workplace harassment.
IME the best abstractions hide the underlying complexity by default, but allow you to "pop the hood" when necessary. The more this exposes the guts of the underlying implementation details, the better (though obviously that comes with tradeoffs around changing underlying impl details, although I think as an industry that we over-index on that too much, which leads to exactly this problem).

Go's compiler intrinsics immediately come to mind here. They allow you to easily write Go functions in native assembly, without CGo, for hot code paths. We get the benefits of a high-level language with a fat runtime, but can easily drop down to assembly when we need to.
Is there some HR from hell manual somewhere that encourages this? Does anybody sincerely enjoy being called some cringey pun?
Asahi has been my daily driver since April (https://jasoneckert.github.io/myblog/asahi-linux/).

I watched the hardware support evolve with each major update and remember when the first builds of specific software (e.g., Chromium and VSCode) that supported the 16K page size were first available.

The last few months were incredibly interesting to watch - especially the live coding sessions. And throughout the whole time, Asahi was rock solid as a daily driver. I find it a stellar example of the power of open source and the people in the community that drive it.

> So you get horrendous spellings if using Latin characters for the Slavic sounds, like you see in Polish.

I'm not sure where you get this from.

Several Slavic languages (Czech, Slovenian, Croatian, etc) use Latin-derived alphabets and managed to preserve their pronunciation with 100% fidelity. The Polish orthography is not the only solution to this, and I think it's a stretch to regard Croatian spellings as "horrendous". I am, of course, biased. But the number of characters in a word in Croatian maps 1:1 with its Cyrillic spelling, for example.

Dive deep on AWS networking infrastructure
Well it's fair to debate the best way to bring about change that I agree they need. I certainly don't mean to encourage them to continue on this path. Everyone needs a kick in the ass now and then but I would bet money that kind of approach here would just push them further into their shells.
I'm just sick of seeing everyone have these obxious, stupid "extra" personalities. Nobody can be calm or cool, nobody ever wants to channel any kind of zen, everything has to have the energy of an episode Pee-Wee's Playhouse. It's like we never advanced past 3 years old.

I've been running nohang for quite a while now on all my desktop linux devices. In the rare cases where I mismanaged my memory or had a program hang it has always managed to kill the culprit and only the culprit.

Pretty cool stuff, can this be easily used to augment videos with translated subtitles? And if so, I'm assuming it would be fast enough to do so in real-time?

My desire to write Rust is for both reasons. C tooling is awful, the language offers insufficient abstraction capabilities, and, finally, is unsafe.
That's really cool that global accelerator got support, I was about to bash AWS. It's one of those things when trying to optimize product market fit and quick launches, that we needed global accelerator, but not IPv6 on a project I worked on.

So when major AWS / cloud services don't have the ability to just turn it on, is one part of the chicken and egg that contributes to the lack of adoption. Thanks for pressuring for that support.
What is "woke culture" and how is it "enforced"?
It's in the Kool-aid recipe
I can reject there is no ugly truth on a theoretical basis (though not a practical basis)

Lets say you become omniscient and now you know that 7 days from now the universe is going to end in a flash. I mean, that's not great in itself. You think to yourself, I should let everyone know so they can say their goodbyes, but when you do there is a vast amount of human suffering and violence. If you say nothing the world goes on as it does now until its demise.

Is the truth beautiful in this theoretical case? I don't believe so, it doesn't give us anything really truly more actionable than we have now (you could die at any time for a multitude of reasons as it is). Of course this is a logical extreme and you can say that most of life is much more in the mud.
sure, my guess is it doesn't.

I'm trying to share why I think attempting to study women like they're birds is futile. I genuinely think men-women relationships don't work like that. But you're correct, I've done no scientific study. It's all based on personal experience.

Pimps serve a purpose. Sometimes they are good and hook me up with johns so I make good money. Sometimes they protect me from bad johns. Sometimes they abuse me by sending me to johns they know will hurt me and then take all the money.
Wow, I'm blown away people here are confidently saying things like "most people don't think the Eiffel Tower is beautiful." Huh? Are you guys joking? Are these comments generated by GPT? It's beautiful because of its geometry. It's beautiful in the way it compliments the city. It's beautiful when it's lit up at night. What more do you want exactly?

Who would have the gall to say something like "most people" don't think it's beautiful? People on hacker news really are opinionated about everything, aren't they.

A Review of “The Thousand Brains Theory”
It's like a Cory Doctorow/William Gibson/Philip K Dick story
Yea I think people just don't understand "what they like" here. It's like if you grew up on fast food like I did. It's also mind-boggling to me when people travel to Europe or Macinac Island and they come back home and gush about it, but can't get over some sort of mental blocker they have that you could actually live like that here too in the US if we stopped building for cars and started building for people.

Although I do think it's an influential factor, I don't think money is the primary issue. If anything having more money and making more money gives you access to "finer" things and more experience. It's much more complicated than that. It reminds me of the anecdote about Tik Tok (which should be banned IMO) that shows funny videos and 'dumb' content to Americans and shows chess championships and educational materials to the Chinese. That's what we're dealing with here at a societal level.

Great post, David. :)

We're talking about Plaid here.

While you are factially correct in the general case, I'd hate for people to leave with the idea that Plaid has ever concerned itself with compliance when there was a buck to be made or an inconvenient norm to be worked around unethically.

Because art has never been more separate from the people.

There are small local art galleries in my city. They are vibrant, and full of the kind of art I want to look at. Meanwhile, the local big name art gallery (which just rebranded to an acronym because apparently that's what you do now) is cold, and in many ways hideous.

The financial networks that drive nearly everything, but especially art, have been overly centralized. This has only been beneficial for a small minority.

Agree.

The submitted URL is high-on-detail (normally good for HN audience) but low enough on context that I'd say it's mostly of use for frequent Blender users & Blender community members (who likely know how to find both URLs).

The flashy URL, while lower on detail, still packs a reasonable amount in. Alongside much-needed context.
I suspect there's (understandably) a 0% chance of this ever happening, but it sure would be huge.
You'd have to find a way to determine how much of each artist contributed to every output from every prompt, find every artist that had a work used in the training data, and get them all to agree on how much they should be paid. Then come up with a pricing model to sell the art created that people will pay for.

All that to get to the Spotify problem where the money coming in is distributed to so many artists, that nobody makes any money, except the company selling art makes a ton because they take a percentage off every picture.

In the end, the artists feel just as screwed over as they did before all of this.

I suspect this is an attempt to troll us all into fighting, by bringing up a beloved conference that some might classify as “woke”.

But anyway, there’s something to what you say but I think that analogy doesn’t go very far.

Every year the hosts have, in their intro keynote, urged attendees to be more outgoing than normal. So yeah there are lots of introverts.

But the promise is that being more outgoing will pay off - because XOXO is curated to be entirely nice nerds. And it’s very anti-grifting. The scene the OP portrayed of e-girls and NFT guys seems like a polar opposite of their vibe. It’s more literature nerds showing off their board game about Pride & Prejudice, or an indie game about a mischievous goose. The whole point of XOXO, I think, was to find people who were doing internet stuff for the love of it.
Makes sense. In that case I will accept a one time fee for a dial on the dashboard that says

I believe that Toyota and a few others already did something like this in the past.

In the US, (most) employers are required to offer former employees continued coverage via the COBRA (https://www.dol.gov/general/topic/health-plans/cobra) program. COBRA compliance is built in to corporate insurance policies. Extending healthcare coverage via another method would require extra costs on the employer's part.

Giving former employees the cash equivalent allows them to use COBRA if desired or to find alternative coverage.
> This is an excellent interview question (I used it a lot).

Is it though? It just tells you if they know the trick or not. At that point you might as well have them fill out a form and use the score from that to hire/no hire.

It doesn't tell you if they understand what RAM is or storage (HDD/SSD/etc) or the various buses on a motherboard or pretty much anything about how a computer works. For the example given in the article, it's pretty rare for (a+b)/2 to overflow since the default ints end up being 32 bit (article calls out 64bit tbh) and your parameters are [-1000,1000].

---

> 90-95% of engineers don't even see a problem with (a + b) / 2 until you tell them about the overflow, let alone find a solution for it.

In my experience a similar percentage can't write a working DFS which I think is much more work related than midpoint.

None of these bloated apps work on the web very well anymore on Firefox I've found, even Twitter and Instagram. Especially true if you have even minor privacy settings/adblock toggled on in your browser.

I'm not saying that isn't the best for the employee being laid off, but the news spreads SUPER fast. Someone has an unscheduled 1:1 with a manager and then a private meeting immediately after (with HR usually), a few other people see they have similar things that day, and news starts to spread. That causes panic and confusion across the company ANYWAY.

I think as the parent said, there is no way that keeps all parties happy ... the employees, the leadership, the remaining folks, and now the public.

One idea is that they'd be one-directional, with a black hole on one end and a white hole on the other end. But considering that we haven't really seen any evidence of white holes existing, such a thing probably isn't possible.

Other than that, a simple traversable wormhole entrance/exit would just look like a sphere where you see the other side sort of 'mapped' onto the surface.
