Amazing. There was a time, nearly 20 years ago, that I was let go from Adobe. My colleagues assumed that because of my position/tenure/knowledge that I was layoff-proof. I told them that I was just a number in a large organization, and that orgs of a certain scale don’t do layoffs in a way that looks at each individual. Sure enough I was let go and after 16 years at the same company, that was acquired by Adobe where I spent 5 years, my overall feeling was “meh, I knew the end was nigh”.
Since then I’ve been a contractor, and I couldn’t be happier. The relationship between me and my client is simple: I work, and they pay me. Sure there’s no stock option perks, but on the other hand I never have to deal with HR processes, submit quarterly objectives, etc. I work, I get paid. I know when the contract will end, and either the client renews the contract or I go somewhere else. It’s all fine.

For me, reducing my work life down to such a simple transactional level has been incredibly freeing and stress reducing, and allowed me to focus even more clearly on the work.
Fuchsia is one of Google's most interesting products, so these layoffs put out a huge question mark.

The company will soon have to decide how to move forward since replacing Linux will require a sizeable investment in manpower. My suggestion would be to focus on only replacing the Linux kernel whilst keeping other parts of the Android stack intact as much as feasible.

They should be able to do this in relatively short order, say two years.
I’ve tried doing this a few times in a legacy codebase to contain the definition of `err` when it changes type (this team did not believe in the error interface for awhile).

The problem is that it doesn’t stand out visually, and it’s uncommon, so less-experienced team members would have difficulty comprehending what’s going on. In the end we just opted to use two different variables for the two types of error.
For grid scale storage Li-Ion is a transitional technology at best. It sees interest right now because it's quick to deploy (unlike the much cheaper pumped hydro), and because so much money had been pumped into Li-Ion research and production that other battery technologies have a hard time competing.

If it turns out people don't need all the cycles out their car battery then there's value in capturing that, but new large scale installations will move to other technologies over the next decade or two.
After using LastPass for years, this breach led me to do something I should have done long ago: remove my bank account & email account passwords from it (and change them, of course). My wife did the same thing. At some point I'll probably switch password managers, but the basic realization was that those passwords are qualitatively different than the rest and should never, ever be trusted to any password manager.

So now I remember ~3 passphrases, instead of 1, and sleep much better at night.
Even harsher is that on the same day Microsoft laid off their staff, they announced a 10B investment in OpenAI.
We simply cannot tolerate those who think that the government should have a hand in suppressing political speech.
CPU does matter, as even a little research will show: having a CPU which is twice as fast means that the most common thing people do - use the web & “native” apps which use web views - is noticeably faster. It also makes your battery last longer.

> Also, sensor doesn't matter, what matters is millions of people watching MKBHD channel think Pixel 6a makes better photos than 14 Pro Max, regardless of sensor.

The number of views doesn’t mean that everyone voted (at 5-15 minutes per test, I’d be surprised if it was anywhere near), and it especially doesn’t tell you that a camera is better in absolute terms. His test methodology is randomized, which is good, but it shows small images side by side and they’re not perfectly consistent on composition. That favors certain types of image: higher contrast, brighter colors get the quick wow, very few people are likely to zoom in enough to notice noise or loss of detail, and that last part is especially important as ML processing becomes the norm - one thing people have commented on are the subtle processing artifacts (often described as smudging) that can produce which aren’t obvious at first glance.

That doesn’t mean that this is wrong: a ton of photos are never viewed at larger than the Facebook/Instagram default thumbnail size, and punchier photos stand out in those galleries, but it says that a single test giving a single ranking is incomplete. There’s also a selection bias concern: his audience skews towards Android users who are going to be accustomed to the camera, processing, and color matching of those devices. Familiarity matters a lot when you’re making a ton of rapid comparisons.

> For $400 you can buy a touch ID SE with 60Hz screen and camera that is ages behind what $350 Pixel 6a will give you

Ah, yes, through my amazing power of getting data rather than assuming that my preferred brand is best, I can see the iPhone SE’s 60Hz screen pales before what Google calls “up to 60Hz”:

I imagined based on the title that they would basically have to include it, and even though I was expecting it, I was still delighted to see a screen cap of Snake with a box over his head.

Once the AI has worked it's way through all the twists and turns of the Metal Gear series we are probably back in trouble, though.
Can someone confirm what intensity is high intensity?

E.g, I have a rowing machine that leaves mildly out of breath and makes my heart beat quickly, is that HIIT? Or is HIIT more like stair climbers, which cause me to almost collapse after doing them for 12+ minutes.
You're really reaching for nitpicks, there.
What do we do in practice?

- Personally audit all the 392 library dependencies in our project to make sure they don't do anything dumb?

- Ask the intern to write a non-dumb logger (and the other 392 deps) from scratch?

- Don't use dependencies and write bare metal assembler? (JDK, libc, OS kernels are dependencies and do introduce a steady stream of CVEs)

- Give up on doing anything complicated and congratulate myself at being able to write a simple echo service by implementing the whole TCP/IP stack on bare metal?

How?

edit: you've just picked another (tautological) form of speech for which you're not explaining how it suppresses the freedom of others to speak. The question-begging word "bullying" here is the hint. The "bully" would refer to it as commentary, not bullying.

Can Donald Trump be bullied? Can a racist mass shooter? "Bullying" is a value judgement.
To add to this, you can also set it up so entire federated servers are followed, and it may be that way by default. So follow ONE person on mastodon.social, and suddenly your toy instance is trying to copy a significant chunk of the Fediverse to its hard drive in real time.
Yes, and to add to that, that some topics are biographical or based on some personal thing, like Bob Arctor in A Scanner Darkly.

That's actually not true. Let's say your calculation of ~100 per MWh for batteries is correct, we've seen that the wholesale prices were a multiple of that basically this whole year. Nuclear is above that price. I don't think anybody is seriously planning to use car batteries as the backbone of the grid, but as one of the last resorts yes. It makes sense for everybody.
This is excellent. I can see buying it for my business. We already use Excel extensively for the open file format; that it's local first; that it's just a file; the low ceremony of getting started; the multipurpose grid for code, data, and presentation; the ubiquity.

The more low-code/no-code SaaS products I've tried, the more I value it. LC/NC SaaS generally is expensive and inflexible. Everybody knows Excel, it's dirt cheap, and it just works. It's part of a certain IT subculture to bash it, but I stopped laughing along.

Excel is great at what it does. Love seeing clean solutions like this that give it even more muscle.
Not familiar with this story.
Yeah, the utility of smoothing grid demand overnight seems limited. Nighttime is when demand is least peaky. And if you commit to having the EV charged in the morning, you can't get net energy out which means it can't be used to compensate for lack of sun either. It doesn't seem to solve any problems that we actually have.
This reminds me of how in Germany, before there has been a value added tax, there'd been a revenue tax. It was lower, but you had to pay it on every $ of revenue, even if your profit margin was very small. So a lot of businesses started to vertically integrate. Once the system switched to one where you get back the tax for the things your business buys, businesses got broken up or grew in only one of the steps of their supply chain.
We are heavy users of GTM, and have been for over a decade.

Initially, it was FAR AND AWAY the best and most reliable option for meetings. It worked well across platforms, and the screensharing -- especially the ability to see a participant's screen, not the host's screen -- was stellar. This was key for us; we're a small software company, so GTM sessions to help client IT install, or help a customer with a problem, or even get the system configured initially, were all our bread and butter.

Sadly, GTM over time has fallen prey to the same thing that ails lots of older products: it just keeps getting worse, and it feels almost deliberate. We do not give two shits about video, but they're pushing it hard. Sharing controls change revision to revision, which makes it harder for us to coach customers on how to use the tool. Lag and delay has become a real issue.

It's just super frustrating.

It relaxes the signing requirements and malware signature checks for binaries run in the Terminal. This way you can build and test stuff without needing to relax the security posture of the entire Mac.

Just a note for any UK readers that this is coming in sooner than you think. There are already proposals on the Ofgem[1] site to force mandatory half-hourly meter reads that mean energy companies can offer pricing that more closely matches demand.

don't want to be part of that? run your house off your EV and charge it back up at night. my house takes about 6KWh a day, so I could run it for almost a week from my car even if I didn't charge it.
It’s wonderful that someone is pushing their diet to the limit and sharing that with the world. Contrary to the other comments, life isn’t just about eating for every individual on the planet. He can derive pleasure from other sources. It doesn’t necessarily mean he fears death either, he could be maximizing time spent with loved ones. He could be passionate about experimentation.

If you can do it for more than 1 minute, than it's not high intensity.

Not to say it's not a good-great workout, but it's not the HI in HIIT.

Show HN: Make your own Kids Stories using AI
Got excited after seeing this https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=34514480 this morning.

We've been working on a platform for this for the past 3 months. And could not be more excited to share it with you.

There is so much in the making, editable stories, image uploads, search in library, Audio, Printed books, Podcast, Magic Photos, talking characters, unlimited images and much more.

Let me know what you think. Is personalised content the future of "Kids Entertainment"?
Wow, thank you, I had no idea it was that bad. I live in one of those magical 9 states where it's fixed at state-level and thought that was standard.
Nice! Quite fun, hope you keep building things :)
In fairness, that looks more like a research tool than a product in development… so not really aimed at mass production
That sounds neat.

For me, after I exercise, I get ravenously hungry and am unable to concentrate for the rest of the day unless I eat a 3-5k calorie meal. I heard it would get better over time, so I did it for a year, one hour with a really good personal trainer, three times a week. It put a lot of strain on my relationships, and I got in trouble at work since I was basically at half capacity, and couldn't get any work done on Mondays, Wednesdays, or Fridays. I did it for a year and it was the same the whole time. I was also told that eventually I would get "addicted" to exercising, but I hated every moment of it up to the very end.

After a year of that, I stopped, and regained my sanity for the most part. I didn't actually lose much weight, but towards the end I had gotten some compliments about looking healthier, which was nice, but not worth the psychological tool it took on me. I guess I'm just sitting here desperately trying to not destroy my body further while I wait for some miracle cure for leptin resistance or something.
Union does not protect you from layoff. They will be able to negotiate for severance package, but seeing the way big techs are handling it, I highly doubt unions can negotiate a better one.
At that point it's cheaper to buy a car with a smaller battery and use a stationary battery for grid storage.

> Reverse image search has been gimped, no longer performs as well as it used to, and even Yandex always returns better results.

I'm actually finding that aside from programming related queries or searching for reddit threads, Yandex is now the best general search engine, beating out Google, Bing, the bing derivatives like DuckDuckGo and Brave search, and I imagine Yahoo.

It's insane to me that the quality of search has slipped so low, and it also makes me wonder what it is about Yandex that allows it to avoid the modern hellscape of SEO optimized websites that spend 10,000 words saying nothing. It feels like it's got to be something to do with the fact that they have some large bias towards the age of a website.
At the risk of missing some intended sarcasm, which part of the vegan diet, regular exercise, and sleep hygiene sounds like esoteric nonsense? I don't see how any of those are comparable to essential oils.
No idea, haven't seen this until now. Hopefully they provide a mechanism for allowing legitimate addins to get around it. Perhaps using a code signing cert (which I do) or an EV certificate would be appropriate. Security has been a bit of nightmare with Excel addins. I've had to deal with false positives on and off again a bunch of times already. First it was windows smart screen, then antivirus vendors every so often. It's a slog...

I see Fuchsia's benefit mostly in security and stability. Linux is one big blob with potentially huge security holes in it, many of which simply haven't yet been discovered (except maybe by intelligence agencies).

Fuchsia's architecture is extremely resilient and secure by design and there's very little change culprits will be able to breach its security.

One key thing to remember is that humans can't do much more than 30 hours per week of exercise because they can't consume sufficient calories to compensate.

It has come to the point that tweaking nutrition science to feed athletes better so they can train more is a key aspect of the ultra endurance training (e.g. the Norwegian Iron Men around Olaf Alexander Bu).

Every few years I'll jump into JavaScript for one thing or another, and recently I jumped back into TypeScript and holy cow it's shaping up to be a really nice language. I really like `const` as well as TypeScript's concept of type widening/narrowing (`"foo"` is its own type as a specific string but can be widened to `string`), which allows the compiler to know that `document.createElement("table")` returns an `HTMLTableElement` rather than `HTMLElement`--this could have been avoided by having a `document.createTableElement()` method with its own signature, but given that it has to work with older, dynamically typed APIs, this is a pretty elegant solution.

Similarly, if I have a discriminant union `type FooBar = "foo" | "bar";`, TypeScript seems to know that `if (["foo", "bar"].includes(x)) {...}` exhaustively handles all permutations of `FooBar` (no need for a `switch` statement with explicit arms).

The static typing really helps me avoid a bunch of "undefined is not a function" stuff that I would waste time with in JavaScript.

Pretty cool stuff!
I think a certain proportion of the rich and poor alike fear death. But only the rich have the means to (try in vain to) do anything about it. And of course only the rich pay news outlets to write puff pieces about themselves.

>...even the worst human programmers have error rates well below 1% FOR CODE THAT ACTUALLY SHIPS.

I added that emphasis, and you should realize that shipping code is the result of teams, and engagement like ChatGPT is demonstrating will replace most of your fellow human teammembers, and the only human input may be "putting it all together..." this is a top-level jobtask, with limited employment opportunity; I worry that the code that I am already able to generate and have real results with (as a non-programmer technician) is quite scary. It is sufficient.

Simply put: the UX/UI here is too addictive and too capable to not be earth-shattering. But this is just an amateur opinion, and certainly "creativity" is already (and already was) an "INhuman" attribute, limited but to the rarest minds...
By the same token, many such widows from that era — and, in many cases, later on — simply never changed their phone listings after they became widows. I recall my hometown’s phone listings containing many long-dead guys’ names for precisely that reason.

My 9-year old wrote and published a book with dalle-2 and openai playground. Chatgpt was not a thing then. It is quite interesting and powerful to see how these AI complement child's unbounded imagination. I would have to say, childrens imagination has more entrop/perplexity than the AI would come up - At the end GPT was merely putting correct grammar and adding the bulk to the story.

Children's imagination is the most undocumented, unexplored frontier of human imagination and I still have hope for humans on this edge of creativity.

Solar isn't the only green energy source, there's also wind, hydro, nuclear...

Historically, electricity consumption is low at night. With the conventional grid, nighttime charging is a net boom because it brings load when the grid has excess capacity.
