Despite the hype ChatGPT is not ready to replace search engines yet - no referencing and it literally makes up gibberish if it's not sure. At this point I don't see any advantage to Google rolling that out. GPT4, GPT5... different story maybe!
Just looking quickly at one video where he had trouble with heating, they seem to use, lets say, not exactly finished products. Instead controlling things via Home Assistant. Which does not to me scream having lots of money, even is he has that. I believe there are much more expensive and more ready-made systems than what was used there.
This is sort of the principle of the "bpt" build tool I think from "vector-of-bool"

https://bpt.pizza/
A couple of suggestions:

- the xonsh (a full-featured unix shell, in python) kernel with jupyter

- the acme editor, using `win` to give you a dumb terminal access to your shell (or indeed any repl). As well as being a shell/repl, you can also treat that window as a text buffer, manipulating it and saving it as such (very liberating feeling, in practice)
Releasing to public the sources of the old software, especially from platforms which are gone, is very cool!

I would die to see the original sources of Norton Commander 3.0 written by John Socha. They say, he used "an ortodox" (back in the day) approach of C and assembler mashup, which not many programmers used that time, and "real programmers" always wrote in assembler :-)
>The point being made is that there are no negative consequences to being responsible

What "negative consequences" would you like to see? You want to see executives fired over something like this? How do you think that would affect future hiring practices?
> You can't really just employ a lot of people when things are doing well expecting to fire them if there is a downturn.

Well, you can, but not as direct employees. The usual way is to enter a service contract with a different company who hires the employees and assigns them to work on bigcorp's tasks for 100% of their time. If bigcorp wants to cut costs, they just let the contract with the other company lapse and that company can fire their employees on the basis of "my own economic outlook is bad because we lost the bigcorp contract".
As someone who otherwise works somewhat similar to OPs workflow, I have to agree.
One golden rule for me:
The "vomit draft" version cannot be your MVP. It is never Viable for production.

That said, TDD (with emphasis on driven) is no silver bullet either, especially when working that way - the tests are equally affected and I've seen enouph code bases where the initial test surface was so off compared to what was needed/sensible that it ended up being solely a hindrance and stifling to actual rework/refactor - with people ending up throwing it away and rewriting the tests from scratch, or worst case, simply setting them to be ignored on build.
But if you’re handing out a random ID, you still need to have an index over that ID to have efficient lookups of random ID -> internal ID right?

One advantage is that you only need to resolve it once at the edge and then internally you use the external facing value. Are there any others I’m missing?

I agree, I would have loved a deeper dive in xid since it seemed to clearly outperform everyone else.
I wish that would work for all build settings, and be standardized across compilers. Even building complex projects with platform-specific build settings could then be reduced to a simple:

cc main.c -o bla
>Sorry, but these antics require revolution.

Maybe it just requires people not buying that rosy corporate lingo BS in the first place.
Yes there is . Unemployment is a bitch. Look at the numbers of PhD in southern europe for an example
As a Tesla owner with a model 3 that used to have radar until Tesla disabled it I find this argument funny.

Radar failed when the front got covered in ice, that's about it. With Tesla Vision (camera only), it no longer has any active sensors so it means it doesn't really work and is generally unavailable (as in, not even cruise control is available) or highly unpredictable in conditions such as:

- Rain
- Fog
- Snow
- Low sun
- When using windshield fluid
- Sometimes when driving next to a truck (not sure if tunnels are still an issue as well?)
- Probably more scenarios I forgot about...

Having tried both setup, it's pretty clear to me that the best real-life results are with multiple sensor technologies. I have very little faith Tesla succeeds as long as they are camera-only.

Tests are there to make sure the focus is on people who like puzzles and not those who proceed slowly in order to keep key product features in mind while also composing plenty of tests and documentation and working with the team to be sure of direction and consensus.
Otherwise known as (drum roll)... the Turing test!
I find it interesting that all the Twitter messages presented to me below this tweet are from accounts with names like “Pepe”, “End Wokeness” and Andrew Tate (how is he even posting?)

Anyway - I suppose they just group all the scumlords together to save disk or bandwidth or something idk.
You're missing the very first point in the HN submission guidelines:

> anything that gratifies one's intellectual curiosity
> Yes, according to what 1Password is telling us

With their very comprehensive whitepaper and Charles Proxy you can verify all their claims. Their whitepaper is one of the best resources I have found on E2EE in general. With that, you should be able to write your own 1P vault parser. Then you can verify that traffic to their server is exactly what they claim it to be.

In another comment you are criticizing that their product is proprietary - that's IMO not quite true. Yes, 1P is closed source, but their crypto strategy is documented extensively - they list the exact cipher algos and settings.

> not only with respect to vault encryption but vault storage and operational security

That's a valid argument, BUT, if you read their whitepaper, you'll likely arrive at the conclusion that even a full leak of the encrypted vault is currently not that problematic. I wouldn't post it online, but I'm not worried if they announce a leak tomorrow.
No, but they also don't have to bullshit people by saying "I take full responsibility" when the responsiblity is shared between them and the employees that are now sacked. Nobody insists they say this, and it is just bullshit. I think it is fine that google fired them, but just own up.

Instead of:

> The fact that these changes will impact the lives of Googlers weighs heavily on me, and I take full responsibility for the decisions that led us here.

Just say:

> The fact that these changes will impact the lives of Googlers weighs heavily on me, and I admit that decisions I made have led us here.

But even this is probably wrong, because while the CEO is the top executive, he does not make decisions in a vacuum or operate in a vacuum.

To be fair though I think that his statement is fine in some specific sense of the word responsibility, i.e. sense 1.b.2 from https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/responsible

> being the cause or explanation

It is just that in every other sense of the word it is not really accurate.
I'm not sure if this is always what you want. Mastodon instances don't immediately fetch all replies and such for a toot; by default, only the posts made/boosted/otherwise forwarded to your insurance will appear.

If you intend to follow the conversation, opening remote toots locally can hide some of these replies.

Fedilab, an Android client for fediverse servers, has a button to fetch the toot remotely if you want the details. It's something I'm a little irked by, I wish I could configure my server to fetch all these toots for me. I get that the overhead would be too big for the common servers but my personal server should barely notice the extra load and I'm going out of my way to fetch the data anyway.
>The 10X meme is both too extreme, by implying that Fabrice Bellard could kick out simple crud tasks at 10X the speed I do, and not extreme enough,

I understand your point and I think it just reinforces the fact that the "10" in "10x" should not be literally parsed as a number. My previous comment about the common conversational usage of "10x" is just a synonym for "much smarter than average": https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=13753178

Another example of a random comment where "10x" does not literally mean "mathematically multiplied 10 times": https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=28784181

It was just another example of "10x" as a short way to type out "significantly better" and the "2x" as a synonym for "slightly better".
Well you have to admit that is not an easy name to write :)
> you're outraged that the CEO of a multi-billion dollar company is using this language, that's a problem with you, not with them

Not so long ago, if you got raped, it was your problem, not the rapists.

No saying the situations are identical, but the language used is equivalent and so is the logical rigour behind both statemets.
Design Rules, Vol. 1: The Power of Modularity [2000]

https://www.amazon.com/Design-Rules-Vol-Power-Modularity/dp/...

Formal definitions for interfaces and so forth. Completely changed my mental model for my work.

Paraphrasing from book (from memory): "Architecture" is the set of visible design choices.

Design Rules is to software methodology what Diffusion of Innovations is to product development.

There is some overlap between Design Rules and Diffusion of Innovations, of course. They're compliments.
Personally I think ‘SaaS’ is too broad a topic for a once a week newsletter and it doesn’t give me (or any potential subscriber) much context into what I should expect to see in my inbox each week.

I would suggest trying to get hyper-focused, so you reach a very specific and tight audience.

Off the top of my head here are some potential example topics - Weekly SaaS Case Studies, Weekly SaaS API News, Weekly SaaS Design Breakdown, Weekly SaaS Failutes/Shutdowns, Weekly MicroSaaS Spotlight, etc.

Just my two cents, good luck!
The penalty for wrongthink on mastodon is banning. This ensures ideological homogeneity within each instance. For many people, this is a feature not a bug.
Same. In our team of 10 there was one guy that did about half the work. Making him literally the 10x (okay, 9x) programmer.
There's confusion about different kinds of value.

There are people who can kick out an impressive volume of relatively routine work. And there are people who have exceptional structural insight and can use them to make projects simpler, cleaner, faster, and more reliable.

There are also really smart people who complicate projects unnecessarily. And people who are 10X politicians who appear to be doing a lot of work but are actually doing very little.

Any of these could be labelled a 10X developer. But only two are genuinely valuable.
Ah yes, that's a good idea. I think I've actually done that in the past, come to think of it, when walking; listening to a video course and occasionally screenshotting the phone at a bit I wanted to come back to.
Not necessarily entirely new projects, could be existing efforts that would just be new to those employees. Doubling down and investing in the areas that matter...
It's from interest on loans as far as my understanding goes. As safe as ... the companies taking out the under-collateralised loans...
The text on the landing page is odd. It reads:

> Remember when social media was fun, introduced you to big ideas and cool people, and actually made you smarter? Remember when it didn't waste your time and make you angry or sad? When you could disagree with someone without being threatened or insulted? We want to bring that back with Post.

I remember no such thing. The only difference between the old and the new internet is in the new internet, the platform company tries to decide what's allowed and unallowed discource, whereas in the past you could find all sorts of unorthodox and heretical discussions in lots of places! They still exist, but incredibly more difficult to find because they are drowned out by the mainstream which has gotten a lot bigger.
We went with the Lenovo Smart screen and used Google Duo. It worked really great. I would have preferred some dedicated buttons but we were able to get our 90 year old great grandmother to use it.
Alas this was backed by Google and they no longer think Duo is fun.

It seems that everyone want to be on the video conference market but no-one wants to cater to simple point-to-point calling.

I really hoped the SIP standard would rule the world by now. But that did not happen either.

That's true for devices which come pre-loaded with an OEM version of a Pro edition of Windows, allowing downgrades to the equivalent editions in older Windows versions that have not yet reached their end of support dates (so right now Windows 8 or newer), and also true with different guidelines for licenses covered under the Volume Licensing or Software Assurance programs. However Microsoft doesn't always make it easy to legally obtain the media for versions of Windows older than the one before the current version, which is another prerequisite for legally using older versions unless you already have the necessary media.

Downgrade rights would not allow use of Windows 10 for anyone who buys a Windows 11 upgrade license from Windows 8.1 or older, a Windows 11 full packaged product retail license (as one must do to legally run Windows on a Mac), or a devices which comes OEM-preloaded with a Windows Home edition.

Other situations are less clear to me.
>>Do you really think that?

Yes, employers are not babysitters, nor charities. There seems to have been a large number of bloat position where people simply mess around all day, an maybe attend a few meetings were they talk about working.... then pass the results of that meeting to another group to actually do work...

This is not a new concept, "middle management" style problems except in this case instead of have 5 people managers for every 1 worker, you end up with 5 "project managers" for ever 1 worker... same result too many people talking about work and not enough people actually doing work

>>Also, if so, do you really think that reducing force means reducing force were it's appropriate (triming true fat)?

Maybe, maybe not. Organizations are often prevented from simply trimming "true fat" due to regulations and other things that means layoffs have to occur in a more broad way. Overtime it will even out but the initial cut will probably not be that precise.
They're part of the universe in the same way as rocks trees and gravity. Rocks and trees are not iherently good or bad except in our minds. They just 'are'. Same with companies. If a rock is falling you get out of the way using the agency available to you, if you fail you die. So it has always been so it will always be. To project qualities onto things that they don't really have, to expect the rock to swerve around you because of your internal system of beliefs is a recipie for stress, confusion and ultimately unhappiness.
Here to recommend CoRecursive as well! I would also recommend the SerenityOS episode for first-time listeners. The quality of the podcast, in general, is spectacular.
Do you have a test host with the Zerossl chain that you speak of? Use https://aye.sh if you want to try a host using the ECC chain from LE.
I don't understand that logic. Asking 'why aren't you part of the other thing' is answered 'because something has to be not part of it', not 'because luck'.
If AGI gets conscious -> unplugged.

If AGI underperforms -> unplugged.

So any AGI must operate in the "almost there" zone if it wants to survive.
Getting the images via e.g. Syncthing running on the phone does not seem to encounter this problem. Likely not over USB though, but Wireguard or better Nebula are easy to set up on both your phone and your router / NAS / desktop.
This is well over due. Lots of people resting and vesting.
Gavin Belson feelings.

Silicon Valley (the TV series) should be re-categorized as documentary.
Seems like it's not working now? I tried a few different apps and couldn't get any output at all.
In Japan for instance, you simply cannot fire someone without notice in these situations. You also have to prove that you've tried a whole lot of measures to avoid layoffs, such as reducing exec compensation, asking for voluntary resignations, etc. And I believe there needs to he some actual evidence layoffs are justified in the first place, same as in France I believe.

Strictly speaking, forcing a worker out in these recent tech layoff cases is going to be difficult. I'd expect both in Japan and other countries there will be much more generous severance package offers for "voluntary" quitting. The majority of workers will way that against the reality of staying in a company they know doesn't really want them anymore.
it's amazing how you contradict yourself in two paragraphs

As always - I don’t get it. People talk about AI‘s motives as if it is a given, that it will have them.
As i know us, our first AI that will really change the world, will do this in unexpected ways, driven by unforseen decisions, without any intrinsic motive at all.

We never get it right the first time, because everyone who tries will be to late!

No, I'm saying that the US is not an authoritarian regime.
I think the term was, if not invented, then at least popularised by Joel Spolsky in one of his blog posts. Initially the term was purely positive and did not imply any negative traits.

The core argument of the blog post was that focusing on things like scrum vs agile and different testing methodologies and programming languages etc doesn't matter anywhere near as much as the actual programmers you hire. Hiring the right programmer will have 10x impact on your overall productivity compared to choosing the right project management or testing methodology.
Interesting. Have you noticed any bit rot on your images?
>It’s because guy „taking full responsibility” will still be able to carry on whith his life like nothing happened

Why is it that some people believe that people reach some level of success and become inhuman, robotic automatons? He had to fire a bunch of people. Have you ever had to fire someone? It sucks. I'm sure he's not happy about it. What else do you expect him to say or do?

>having financial security for him and everybody in his family to live off the interest of his bank for generations

If we're going to play the game of relative wealth, I don't think you're going to find much sympathy for the laid-off Google engineers; these people aren't going to be at the food bank any time soon.
> Anyway, given from the examples for me this reads as a language to write hacky onliners of code which are probably easy to write once but hard to read anytime after.

There is definitely a 'write-only' angle to concatenative (postfix) languages that rely on a stack. I think this type of language/approach is uniquely well-suited to this use case, though, where the focus is interactive use, plus short programs that are not generally intended for distribution, since you get the most out of the advantages around conciseness, without incurring the costs that come with larger programs.
Big Money wants the Feds to hear the ship creaking loud and clear.
In this case, people do control the rock from the inside and can divert the rock, but falling from a cliff saves money.
True, but stumbling over even basic idioms and syntax can be quite frustrating if you have not used them enough to absorb them, especially for those like me with dodgy memory retention.
Thank you, this is a great link.

> "The tech industry layoffs are basically an instance of social contagion, in which companies imitate what others are doing. If you look for reasons for why companies do layoffs, the reason is that everybody else is doing it. Layoffs are the result of imitative behavior and are not particularly evidence-based.

I’ve had people say to me that they know layoffs are harmful to company well-being, let alone the well-being of employees, and don’t accomplish much, but everybody is doing layoffs and their board is asking why they aren’t doing layoffs also."

For most business people I come across, 80% of decisions of behaviour is imitating what other business people do. There is no rigourous fundamentals behind most of it
Honestly I love it. It's beyond anything I thought I would live long enough to see.

Not cheap, unfortunately. Especially if you want to do it well.

Also for me only vrchat is good. Meta's offerings seem very sterile and corporate
What does responsibility mean without consequences? The consequences here are all for people who bear none of the responsibility.
What's "infantile" about it?
You could add visualization, thumbnails for sound. Because it's very hard to navigate.
An AGI is generally understood to have a level of intelligence equivalent to a normal human. And I expect reactions to be vocalized and articulated, something dogs cannot do.
Second you on this one. I’ve taken to calling that kind of fun time “wizarding” so my friends and partner understand.
Due to how the US works, it is the prerogative of the company to let workers go even if they are experiencing utmost prosperity. The CEO using language to take responsibility is an example of professional language. Contrast this to Elon who has the prerogative to let workers go while also shitting on their reputation.
> I need to see these "I take full responsibility" people actually punished.

Sundar Pichai has an estimated net worth of 1.3bln.

There is no lawful way to "punish" a billionaire unless they've done something very illegal.
Congrats. I'm intrigued.

Questions / comments:

1) Is it accessible-friendly?

2) If not, are there hooks to modify or replace the FE components / templates?

3) A link to a repo would be very helpful. I'd prefer to browse that over prior to installing.

4) Does it support multiple calendars? That is, perhaps I have different calendars for different types of clients? I didn't see that as an example in the shortcode atts.

5) Evidently, there's some sort of backend (outside WP), why? A link to that privacy policy would be very helpful.

6) A link to a demo site would be great. I'd especially want to see how well the mobile layout is.
FWIW, I went through sirchit.com top-to-bottom twice, and I have no idea what the product is. It looks like something out of HBO's Silicon Valley. "It's about people" is a weird pitch to make a highly technical utility like a search engine.

"Google's mission is to organize information. Our mission is to help people get stuff done. In order for Google to accomplish its mission, it indexes the web. In order for Sirch to accomplish its mission, it connects users with people; people that offer goods, services, or [sic] infomation". I swear I uttered "those are certainly all words" to myself. Is Sirch a classifieds thing, or like a Craiglist?
I do often edit my comments to improve wording, but I think in this case I had the disclaimer right in the first draft. I could be misremembering. I am certainly no fan of this product tie between Apple Watch and iPhone.
Having Google on your resume is not a good thing depending on who's reading it.
