I'm not sure you can do "small part-of-the-image patches" when comparing against 175,000,000 images. And I don't mean that from a scale/processing perspective I mean it would seem you'd always get tons of small patch false positives from any realistic looking image.

I'm still immensely grateful to all the HN folks who helped me recover from my hug of death a year or so ago by teaching me the Cloudflare tricks. I'm with Ghost Pro now instead of Wordpress, but man, IDK what I would have done without the Cloudflare advice in the meantime!
iTunes (or any other player) could display hundreds or thousands of songs in a single playlist and would happily sort them or filter them instantly based on tags or whatever. Spotify, everything is lazy-loaded and I frequently get random elements just failing to load, or the entire player even crashes (like, at least every other month.)

And, I know I say thousands but I get this sort of behavior in Spotify when I've only got like ~50 songs in a playlist. And of course it can only do rudimentary sorting/filtering based on tags.

> Remember when Adobe bought Figma for $20 Billion and then open source alternative Penpot then raised $8M towards being a legit community driven alternative?

It is not 'a legit community driven alternative' since that $8 million of VC money is not theirs. Penpot is now controlled by VCs and it is growth at all costs and head for a acquisition or IPO.

Who is to say that Penpot would start close-sourcing some features or having a secret closed-source version only available as a SaaS offering and some of the code won't be available to the community?

Depending on the VCs involvement and how much Penpot is making, I won't be surprised to see Penpot starting to hide some features in the open-source version and add them only in the paid hosted SaaS version.
The author talks about three data points:

1. Is there less restaurant business?

2. Does it hurt city real estate?

3. People spend more time with family.

I'm much more interested in other points about how remote work has an impact on the economy.

* How do cities and states attract well paid remote workers? Who are the winners and losers of this transition.

* How does remote work impact wages? A programmer in Nashville was probably paid less than one in San Fransisco. How is remote work impacting that discrepancy?

* How is remote work impacting residential real estate? Are home owner rates climbing as people flee the expensive cities? How is it impacting which homes are more desirable?

* How is remote work impacting energy usage?

* How is remote work impacting in office jobs for the same type of work? Are in office jobs paying a premium for labor over remote? Do employers see the increased investment as paying off? Do investors?
You don't need 100% to be better than comments.
I wonder if they just became terminally risk averse.

The thing that made them big is pretty obvious: high-margin premium priced x86 CPUs, which is a position they were able to hold for decades due both to manufacturing excellence and being able to shepherd the standard. They simply can't do it anymore-- execution has stumbled, and the market for x86 is gradually weakening, especially in spaces outside the cut-throat, lower margin, consumer/corporate desktop "it must run Windows and my line-of-business software/Call of Skyrim" vortex.

They could have been using decades of margin to build and consolidate positions in other segments of the market, just to be sure that the next clever new device comes out with an Intel chip, even if it's non-x86. They didn't.

Rather than, say, taking the ARM licenses they ended up flogging and building a competitive mobile CPU on their leading process, they invented weird Atom chips that ended up in like 3 phones.

Okay, flash is huge now, but it's a low margin game maybe not worth their investment. But they chucked out Optane, which still had some possibility as a "halo product" and for some commercial price-is-no-object markets.

It remains to see how sticky Arc graphics will be; they got a boost by the tight market conditions last year where people would grudgingly take any card they could afford. Will people come back to them out of explicit preference? I also wonder if the Larrabee/Xeon Phi adventure set them back or ahead-- trying to make a GPU architecture out of x86 was an interesting take on "GPUs are hard to program", but did it yield a lot of useful knowledge?
When I went remote, the markets, hairdressers, restaurants close to my office lost a customer, and the markets, hairdressers, restaurants close to my home gained a customer. So no net impact to the overall economy.

> middle managers fearing for their future and building owners afraid of losing out on rent money

You forget the business owners who fear they'll lose direction of the work.

It's not so much whether you put in the hours at home, but whether your work is directed towards a common goal.

Remote work requires a higher degree of communication, and some business owners don't possess the skill or interest to maintain out-of-office communication.
Spending money at restaurants is great, way better than everybody sitting at home eating their own lunches. I suspect massive adoption of restaurants would be more efficient too, if we cared about that primarily.

Inner city areas full of people chatting in restaurants and cafes at lunchtime and after work are the best.

> Then you get these articles about how unhealthy life is in the city. You know; mobile phone tumours - far more likely in the city. Well you know what, so is everything else! Including sex, coffee and conversation. - Dylan Moran
This is absolutely true. Their job is harder too. It’s senior managers who take pleasure in people being around them having making back room discussions that can’t imagine a different way of working that are driving this. They are about to become structurally unemployable.
Just to riff in your point: while there are plenty of smart people on this site with a solid understanding of the underlying science, but at the end of the day everyone needs to find a trusted medical professional and take his or her advice that’s tailored for their specific circumstances.
There's an assumption you're making, which is the current model of cities, ie. a dense downtown area, is the right model.

This wouldn't be the case if we optimized for the right set of constraints - all of the places you mentioned being in walking distance. If there were more restaurants in the neighborhood, I'd eat out thrice a week at the very least.
Not only that, who goes to a barber during work hours? That's something that one would assume would happen closer to home regardless, such as on a weekend.
Its amazing how quickly we went from semiconductor glut to all chipmakers guiding down, and now this.

“You should care about the economy more than your happiness” is absurd.
AI today is a tool. Maybe in a distant future it will evolve into "artificial beings with minds", but today it needs to be useful to justify its development.
There's an economic flipside to the 'death of the city' aspects too though, which is that the ability for companies to hire from outside of big cities, and the ability of people to take jobs with companies based anywhere, opens up a ton of economic opportunity. There's clearly an opportunity for a much more efficient system if where you live and where you work don't need to be geographically coupled.
As pithy two edged maxims go, that is dull and chipped on both sides.

Recent layoffs have indiscriminately targeted talent and pay cuts deter those that are primarily driven by returns.
I stopped going to the barber, not because of WFH, but for the same reasons that caused widespread WFH. After barbers were closed for months during lockdown I couldn’t take it and started cutting my own hair. I’ve never gone back to the barber since that point.
I did, so that's not true
How could I possibly get the latest news about Fidel (his death hasn't stopped it) without Miami Cuban AM radio?
Bad for which economy? Countless programmers over the years have packed up their bags and moved away from their small towns to live in big expensive tech hubs. This has certainly been beneficial for the economy of large metros--they didn't pay to educate these workers and in many cases these workers (including myself) were raised and educated in completely different countries. So these metros have a huge pool of high-skilled young working age adults bringing billions into the economy just in taxes. But what about the towns these people are from? They essentially get nothing out of the bargain, unless one day one of those workers decides to plop down a retirement home there, which by then their economic contributions have already peaked. The way I see it remote work reverses this trend and offers a far more equitable way of doing things. It takes the strain off the big metros and allows wealth to be spread more equally across the country.

I currently have a class where the professor does a hybrid of that. Instead of a four-and-a-quarter hour class, he makes a one hour video the day before with the rote part of the lecture and tries to address anything that came up among students since the previous week's class. Then we have a three-and-a-quarter hour class which is mostly work and there's a minimal lecture to warm everybody up. While the medium is largely technical, it is a studio art class however so it was a bit different from most classes, anyway.

I don't think I said those words, so sure?
'We are suffering from the intolerable competition of a foreign rival, placed, it would seem, in a condition so far superior to ours for the production of light that he absolutely inundates our national market with it at a price fabulously reduced. The moment he shows himself, our trade leaves us — all consumers apply to him; and a branch of native industry, having countless ramifications, is all at once rendered completely stagnant. This rival, who is none other than the sun, wages war mercilessly against us, and we suspect that he has been raised up by perfidious Albion (good policy nowadays), inasmuch as he displays toward that haughty island a circumspection with which he dispenses in our case.

What we pray for is that it may please you to pass a law ordering the shutting up of all windows, skylights, dormer-windows, outside and inside shutters, curtains, blinds, bull's-eyes; in a word, of all openings, holes, chinks, clefts, and fissures, by or through which the light of the sun has been in use to enter houses, to the prejudice of the meritorious manufactures with which we flatter ourselves that we have accommodated our country — a country that, in gratitude, ought not to abandon us now to a strife so unequal.'
Sure, it is fun. But the point of the article and discussion is not to be city-phobic like your quote suggests -- rather why do we need our economy to focus around people commuting? It is not only inner-city folks. A lot of these restaurants in cities rely on all of the people coming in for work.
With remote work I find myself with a little more time to go to lunch, or out to dinner, or other things that involve spending money in the community around me I didn't have time for when I was commuting.

That's perfectly fine. I would even add that there is no need to call it "the on-call engineer's right", because being on-call is precisely for handling scenarios like this. However, one of the goals of each engineering team should be to minimize incidents and improve the work-life-balance of on-call engineers. Team morale goes down if a service requires attention every other night/weekend. Since the on-call process is usually based on rotation, at some point service outage affects everyone.

To be fair I did. I got a flobee (or the modern equivalent, a battery powered clipper with a vacuum) and do my own hair since I started w@h about 10 years ago. I did that because I had more time at home to do it. Before I was so rarely home I had to go to a barber next to the office. I also did it because I hate having to have uncomfortable conversations with someone I don’t know merely because my head excretes too much keratin.
> Not an American

You sure sound like one, by the level of entitlement ;)

So I take it you provide your own food, build your own home, and do your own healthcare; or find volunteers who love their jobs to do them for you? I hear farming wheat, putting up drywall and examining rashes are jobs that people "only tolerate", it's not generally a calling.

> I am a human being and I am capable of so much more than I can even imagine

Do you happen to be capable of anything useful to other people, as defined by other people themselves? If yes, is it as part of a job you only tolerate, or as part of "so much more"?
Spotify has a much bigger library than YouTube Music? Hmm... Much as I love Spotify, it's always been at a disadvantage. The way I see it: on YouTube, content is "available by default" due to Content ID and the DMCA safe harbor, whereas on Spotify, content is "unavailable by default."
Sounds good in theory. In practice, you get stuff like https://github.com/git/git/blob/master/cache-tree.c#L246

Concur. I just traded in a 2013 model year GMC on a new Acura after a lot of shopping. Everything is electronic on almost all new cars, even formerly mechanically simple things like gear shifts and turn signal stalks. It all feels so fragile, and I doubt my choice will last close to the ten years my last dumb hunk of American steel lasted.

It’s like Kubernetes has been applied to the auto industry… way more complexity than necessary, causing a massive loss of uptime and security.
That's a choice you are making. You could go to the gym, take a class, wework, meet friends, visit family, grab coffee at a cafe, or a dozen other social activities.
Fyp? I’m not familiar with this term. Should it have been feed?
Artists don't really have a say.
The particular segmentation is a questionable choice.

Small enterprises are likely to have small IT/Security staff, and the most likely, therefore, to not notice something awry for a few days, at which point, vital log info has already rolled off the 7-day window.
I have to disagree about the UI. Once you know the flows, it's super easy to get it to do the most repeatitive tasks (add to queue & launch radio for me). I absolutely prefer Spotify's UI over Apple Music and Youtube Music.
I really like the design of my 2022 Subaru Forester. The steering wheel has knobs to adjust volume and skip songs, as well as cruise control. Changing the temperature is just changing a knob, and it seems most of the key functionalities are analog.

There is a touch screen that I’ll sometimes use to toggle between directions and music, but I’m doing that before driving or at a stoplight.

Really everything that feels important is a physical button, which is the number one priority for me.
Does anyone else have the same aversion to calling them pies? I know that's their true name, but after calling them pizza for my entire life I don't like using the other word. People also seem to use it when they want to write the word pizza but they just wrote it a few words ago and don't want to sound repetitive (which is what they did in this article).
That's nice, but attributes let us easily retrofit existing C code such as the Linux kernel in a way that supports multiple compilers and compiler versions. Just extensions, not compiler switches. And they don't muck with the ABI which is a requirement for stable kernel driver interfaces.

Also what you're proposing...would be an extension!
what do people mean when they say spotify rabbitholes them? My new music from spotify is either from manually clicking links of related artists to artists I like, or clicking stuff from the release radar of new content released every week. Where are you getting these stale recs?
No, but hungry people who don’t want to get dressed and leave the house will order a quick meal on Uber Eats at twice the cost of getting it in-person.
Agreed. In my defense, I was responding to a pretty dull comment.
Maybe those restaurants can simply move to residential areas. People still eat lunch. Regardless we don’t manufacture buggy whips to keep the buggy whip businesses afloat either.
>> maintain the lowest incident rate on Saturday

I make my team stay off Slack on weekends. Unless there is major incident. So would not ship on Friday to risk having them fix the lowest incidents.
Can you suggest one? He did indeed ask people on Mastodon, I remember seeing it. I would think those users would be the most likely to know.
But that is a lie. It's deceptive and misleading. The code states what the computer will do; nobody is contesting that or claiming otherwise. They were pointing out that, although part of what `pi = 3` communicates to a person (that the machine will assign the value 3 to the variable named "pi") is correct, another part of what it communicates (that 3 is close enough to the ratio between a circle's circumference and diameter for the task at hand) may be untrue – and thus a lie.

The programs that people work with in their mind are not the programs (the code) that the machine runs. What the machine does is definitely more important in the moment, but the models that live in the heads of people are more important in the long term. The code that the machine runs is just one implementation, a shadow cast by the real thing from one of many angles.
Oh cool, thanks for the reply. I emailed him as well. Maybe I'll try to build this myself, even if only to use for my own course! Thanks for the reply.
Maybe. It would certainly have stirred the pot.
Good luck with this, looks good, and an interesting project from a tech creator perspective. Particularly like the reassuring notes about auditing etc being central.

Minor note - the link to try the web version doesn't work for me from the pricing section free option down the page. Chrome/Firefox Android mobile and desktop view. The main link at the top works fine.
I think things could get pretty messy running TailScale and another VPN at the same time. I suppose you could do it with IP ranges but process level split tunneling... that needs some thought on what is happening there. Maybe Vadim will have some thoughts on that later.

That is a cool trick. Can you actually define which Firefox tabs use the proxy? Does it highlight the tab in some way to show you which connection you're on?
Whose economy are we talking about though? I mean I understand what you're saying but most people I know still prefer eating at home most of the time and going to restaurants occasionally, mainly because meals out cost 3-10x as much as eating at home, unless you start every meal from scratch. this is really important for families.
In the limit of 1x1 patches, for sure. For 256 by 256 patches, who knows? I want to see how regurgitation varies as you vary N in NxN patches.
If you can retire as a rash reaction to being asked to be physically present for work, cardboard box threat notwithstanding, then you are way overpaid (assuming you are under 60).
It's a corporate filing status. That's your hurdle. There's a bunch of unusually generous benefits religions get.

For instance, religious workers is a separate and more forgiving visa process for immigration.

Next time you drive down through an immigrant community and see some implausibly high density of churches per block, that's what's going on.

Religious organizations are also exempt from minimum wage laws and have special carve outs for things like food inspection and OSHA.

Also they don't have to do property tax. They get all the protection of the state with zero of the responsibility.
Layoffs get rid of both ends, as well. Don't fool yourself here.
Good luck trying to make a parallel argument that has the same strength.

Does Uber or Airbnb use 100,000x more resources per transaction than the standard alternative?
I'm not making an argument one way or the other. I'm making a point that any discussion on the topics provided by the article above is useless as the article itself is just collateral that was created for lobbying purposes. Only argument I'm making is ignore think tanks - they're basically marketing for policy recommendations. Doesn't matter if it's the ITIF, AEI, UPI, ITIF, New America, etc - they're all inherently tainted as they are creating collateral that is meant to be consumed to create talking points or consensus around specific policy points.

Not sure I agree - I can whip up an inexpensive, healthy, and satisfying meal with food from the supermarket in less time than it takes to walk a couple blocks to a restaurant.

Are swiss army knives not considered knives in the knife enthusiast circles?
Sorry for the late reply (not sure if you’ll even see this) but thanks for the response. Oof, yeah, that’s a tough one. Definitely think calling that project a money loser is a fair characterization.

Sorry to hear about it, the CRE guys I know are all pretty damned smart and incredibly hard working and it’s nonetheless a tough business for them. Though if one has the chops, not a bad “get rich slowly” scheme, lol.
You could make a conscious effort to visit friends, or even coworkers. I also count my video conference interactions as interactions with people, because they are. Frankly I consider interacting with you interacting with a person because you are. But I also grew up with BBS’s and Irc friends the world over and some of the most enduring friendships are irc friends that we’ve moved into a private signal group together. We’ve been close friends for 32 years. I can’t point to a high school or other “regular person” friend that I’m that close to. I don’t feel like I’m socially impoverished. But if god wanted me to have “regular person” friends he wouldn’t have made me a programmer.
