Hello there - I'm looking to speak with high velocity teams who can use my skills and experience (20 years), and in turn, I can learn from. Eager to hear from dynamic, diverse teams with a mutually supportive work culture.

I have led small dev teams and helped setup two hacker conferences - so quite comfortable with "hands on" and team social dynamics. Have worked from startups to corporate setting. Comfortable wearing different hats. Can adapt to and learn new processes and tools.
You can look at some old archives: http://yotsubasociety.org/
and https://purl.stanford.edu/tf565pz4260

I'm downloading it now to look. I have a strong feeling that 2007 /v/ will look strikingly different from modern /v/.
Confidence - falsifying your personality. Social status. Yeah, not shallow at all.
> You probably haven't done any native UI

Hah. https://github.com/Ardour/ardour/tree/master/gtk2_ardour ... c'est moi

Anyway, that's not really the point I was making. Native UI can be thought of and used as a DOM model, but that's not inherent to the process unless you're literally writing traditional database+presentation+edit applications.

I was more poking light-hearted fun at the explosion in terminology and concepts exposed to someone doing web-based "frontend" development, and how little most of this has to do with HTML, CSS and the general classical model of "a browser".
Then it should have been spelled Zappier.
It would not need to be very big mine though would it? A grenade would probably be just fine to eliminate the satellite from being useful. Something that small means it could carry a lot of ammo
As someone who does not like flying (I don't like heights), I will miss those planes. The large size makes me more comfortable in one.
> The first part of this is fine, but the last sentence is not

Your following explanation suggests you have misunderstood me.

> Confidence can be extremely useful in AI. Is the “accuracy confidence” metric you’re using right every time? No.

>> They indicate how confident the model is of the result, not how likely the prediction is to be accurate.

What I said here does not mean that model confidence is not useful. It simply means that model confidence is different than the real world probability of an answer being correct. Allow me to use an example: Suppose we train a model on coin flipping. If we ask the model what the probability of flipping a heads is the model might say "51% with a confidence of 99%". The model has learned through observation and is going to be biased by good/bad "luck" in observation sampling. Of course this example is something we can solve analytically but the disagreement in the analytical solution and statistically learned solution are precisely what I'm trying to explain.

I agree, confidence is a useful metric in ML. Very useful. As someone who does generative modeling I can attest to its usefulness first hand. But models are statistical and we need to have a deep understanding of the limitations of our metrics and be careful in understanding what our metrics precisely mean. That is all I mean.

You are being dishonest because examples of the GOP pandering to white voters are well-documented and easily accessible. Either you never looked, in which case arguing at all is dishonest since you don't know what you're talking about, or you looked and ignored the mountain of evidence denying your view. The "script" part is likely about you shifting the goalposts. Why doesn't dog-whistling count as explicit pandering to white Americans? That isn't to say the GOP are always subtle, either. All in all, it seems pretty clear you're sealioning.

For the benefit of other readers though, I'll bite.

For instance, former congressman for Iowa Steve King tweeting about slavery [0] is pretty explicit. How about the slightly more abstruse but still pretty glaring white supremacist dog whistle [1] in response to a random Dutch guy complaining about muslims. He was in congress 2003-2021.

Of course Great Replacement rhetoric is also pushed pretty openly to rally white voters, with Tucker Carlson saying things like "demographic change is the key to the Democratic Party’s political ambitions", and congresswoman for New York Elise Stefanik running ads saying "[Democrats'] plan to grant amnesty to 11 MILLION illegal immigrants will overthrow our current electorate and create a permanent liberal majority in Washington".

Do you accept these examples or do you need the GOP leadership to issue a letter signed by all party members stating they like white people?

Well you can't minimise plastic use if the rest of society doesn't.

I think landfilling is fine, we just need to make sure it does not end up in the environment floating about and causing contamination. And that we are not getting defrauded.
I presumed that you were talking about replacing the HTML with a wasm-rendered app, if you're just talking about replacing javascript with compiled javascript blobs, well we already do that general type of transpilation using tools like babel.
HealthyGamer_gg is a great YouTube channel for getting started. I'm unsure of his coaching services; he's trying something very hard to scale, so I'd be wary.

However, his knowledge and prepared materials are great, though they seem to be aimed at an extremely jaded and cynical audience.

What does usePromise is supposed to do?
Founder of Windmill here, and d-k-p answer is spot-on. If you want to manage your entire workflows as a typescript code, then trigger.dev would be preferable.
Windmill supports typescript, python, go and bash, and handle all the advanced features such as retries, approval steps, pre-made integrations to hundreds of API at the workflow level in a UI-based editor. Then for the steps, themselves. you would use either your IDE and sync to Windmill, or use our web IDE.
Kind of dead for hobbyists, I'd say. Pi's used to be a super low budget, easily accessible computing platform, which is what made it so great for almost every project that needed more than an arduino. Now it's usually the hardest part to get, and the complete opposite of a "throwaway" computer that you can stick everywhere.

I'm sure the pricing doesn't bother enterprise or industrial users, and the Pi Foundation is almost entirely devoted to catering to them.

But hobbyists are super sensitive to pricing and ease of access, and the only reason to still use it is that tons of projects are already built to run on Pi's. Even then, Units are almost entirely allocated to enterprise/b2b demand, so the retail customer market is so extremely undersupplied that it's just not worth actively hunting for days just to run an interesting app you wanted to tinker with.

Either embrace dynamic typing and provide good error guards...or try to use type hints and still make good error guards.

We had an entire history of Python 2 without type hints. Why use them now?
Vercel has betrayed my trust and expectations perhaps more than any other provider. They advertised open standards and then did a bait-and-switch to proprietary systems. They also broke our automated deployment pipeline out of the blue and called it a feature, not a bug. They don’t seem to care much about security, either. [1]

If you want “old reliable” that works how you expect it to, with the ease of use of a modern platform, and one that won’t break the bank, my pick would be Cloudflare or Render.

> I'm not saying that those jobs need to be artificially protected or that painful changes should be avoided (basically all tech workers automate human work to some extent) but I'm really concerned about the wealth gap and the extent to which we are pouring gas on that fire. Income inequality looks just like it did before the Great Depression, and now we're handing the power to replace human work over to those who can afford to pay for it.

An additional (possible/plausible) wrinkle: all major social media platforms are ~~compromised~~ in a state whereby the common man is not able to have unconstrained discussions about the range of counter-strategies available to them.

I just got a one week ban on Reddit for suggesting that violence is within the range of options in a thread discussing the massive increase in homelessness, including among people who have full time job. Nothing specific, nothing against anyone in particular, nothing that technically violates the stated terms regarding violence, and certainly less than the numerous, heavily upvoted comments that explicitly and unequivocally call for violence against specific people that I read on a regular basis.

If a revolution is ever to be mounted, I think it might have to be done with paper and walkie talkies. Meanwhile, those on the corporate-government merger side not only can communicate and coordinate freely, they also have access to the communications of their enemies.

Oh, what a time to be alive.
I'm noticing this too. I don't know if it's just mobile, either.
Looks like it could be the same as the actual route but sampled at a lower resolution.

Why would anyone agree to accept a life sentence plea deal? If my only option is a life in prison then I'm going to trial no matter what. And plea deal can't be appealed.

As I understand - they offered him a deal that included drug distribution charges carrying a 10 year minimum (but not necessarily life). And when he refused and chose to go to trial instead then they added the infamous Continious Criminal Enterprise charge - AKA the Kingpin charge that carries a 20 year minimum. That's usually reserved for mafia and cartel bosses not ordinary drug dealers.

I got this info from Nick Bilton who wrote American Kingpin and researched this case extensively.
What part of buttons require javascript?

If you want to run javascript when a user clicks a button, yes, that will require javascript. If you want to change the default styling of buttons, you need to write some CSS. This is not 'too hard' - the video points out a single line of CSS that completely removes all default styling.

This video invents a bunch of problems, and then just solves them by just... using standard HTML elements. Links for links, buttons for buttons. The author finally ends the video with a pretty terrible recommendation of trying to hide links vs buttons to users by putting them behind the same component. Not only does this approach teach bad habbits, you can very quickly run into a bunch of different corner cases blowing up that logic even further.

The one annoying part about buttons could be how they default to type=submit, but with the web's strong focus on backwards compat, the ship sailed on that a while ago, and it's not that onerous to just put type=button on buttons you don't want to submit a form.
That debate has been ongoing since before the founding of the country. You are in good company and our system is designed with the idea of distributing power. The key is for people to recognize and exercise their power.
The nonces are still with us. Prostasia Foundation is the new NAMBLA, working hard to normalize "minor-attracted persons" within academia and the nonprofit space. They're aided by those who rationalize children's consent on questions of sexual and bodily integrity.

If you trust a nine-year-old boy to tell us they're actually a girl, and you trust an eleven-year-old child who wants to inject puberty blockers, and you oblige a thirteen-year-old girl who wants to inject testosterone and cut off her breasts at fifteen, where is the logical barrier to other forms of sexual consent?

Musings on Mobility: The Ping from Hell
I have a suspicion an engineer/developer I worked with was secretly working two or more full time jobs. I didn't mention it to our boss as I had no evidence - only a gut feeling. He was eventually let go anyway after being given far too many second chances to produce any sort of output. He had graduated college and started work just a couple months before everyone went to work from home due to the pandemic, so it was always ambiguous whether he failed to adjust, had crippling social anxiety, or was actually just sandbagging us & doing other things with his time.

A couple reasons I thought this was: weird timing of IM replies and un/availability, repeatedly getting caught and warned against using his personal laptop instead of his issued laptop for work (when we were in the office), an impression everything was a game to him, and the aforementioned lack of any output. After he got fired he changed his FB profile to say he worked at a different company in the same general discipline as we do, which could have innocent explanation he was just quickly hired, but maybe that was his other job or one of them.

Also weirdly his social media story posts mostly consist(ed) of trading app screenshots showing "line go up" equity gains in 4x leveraged ETFs even during weeks I know the market was doing poorly. Again just a gut feeling but my spidey sense is these app screenshots might be recruitment bait for some kind of scam.
Nice, I'm the developer of BetterTouchTool and I'll definitely use this one myself :-)

How would capturing a satellite from orbit be any different than a soldier walking up to an enemy's position and driving off with a tank or flying a jet out from under their nose? Some shit would definitely be on the fan at that point.

Makes me think of the famous "707 Barrel Roll" story from its initial testing: https://www.seattletimes.com/seattle-news/60-years-ago-the-f...

“You know that. Now we know that. But just don’t do it anymore.”

Edit: forgot the barrel roll was on a 707 - not a 747
> curator of words

Yeah, fair. I like it.

I personally am not hung up on the distinction between AI and human work, including creative. I don't especially care who painted an awesome painting, or wrote an awesome book, unless I'm somehow connected to that human.

The product is the product.
A lot of this typically stems from Indian recruiters who harvest peoples' resumes. Sorry to sound harsh, but all the WITCH companies do this and are based in India [1]

It's largely because I DM d&d. During our game last week, the party bought a carriage and some horses. So I generated art of it on the fly. They then encountered a zombie orc. art on the fly. Then I use it inbetween sessions to generate NPC art. I've been using SD since it launched and they each have the pros and cons. But recently ive been using the midjourney /blend feature to combine diecut sticker like art with npc art to get really cool videogamesque stuff.

I probably spend 1-3hrs a day generating stuff, trying out different models, fine-tuning models, etc. Its especially great to do on the iPad in the evenings while I am watching my shows.
I mean, obviously that just means the fine isn't high enough. If it's within fine budget range rather than fine insurance, that's your problem right there.
Think about what it would mean to endeavor into project of reviving an extinct species. Not a bacteria or some worm, but one of the most complex organisms as target. This by all accounts is a monumental task, never-done-before kind of stuff, expect development of pioneering bio-engineering technology in there and billions worth of tried-and-true expertise gained in the process. Then open your eyes and look again how you are being told, with a straight face, "we're doing it for... Dodo", don't rise an eyebrow now. Well, this, more than anything, looks like a master piece of project's public image grooming to me. If I would ever plan to develop daring things that may scare people, and I'd also want to find ways to avoid the costs required for total secrecy, I'd remember Dodo, alright.
> There are lots of examples of research positions having few or no applicants.

I've mostly heard of this happening for two types of roles. The first are post-docs. The second are low-paying primarily teaching positions at exactly the types of places that will probably blink off the map in the 2030s.

In both cases, the hard truth is that the institution will simply leave the position unfilled before increasing pay or improving job security. Compensation is nearly perfectly inelastic and job security cannot be guaranteed.

> a decade from now

A decade from now their enrollments will have declined due to the post-2008 baby bust, in many cases by double digits. They'll be more worried about who they have to lay off than who to hire.

Particularly true for those instructor and other teaching-oriented positions.

Why isn't the inaccuracy of ChatGPT a more widely discussed topic on HN? Lots of excitement for responses that are often wrong when it counts. Best way I've heard it characterized is that ChatGPT is "dreaming" when providing responses. Yet it seems like users are relying on its responses to varying degrees?

I think TikTok wouldn't work for most people for recipes. Short format aside, it's a great visual aid for sure, but I personally find the utility limited. It's alright for limited ingredients & steps with forgiving proportions, but I think it breaks down beyond that. I suppose it helps to temper expectations, though. Cacio e pepe? Sure. Baking recipe with multiple unforgiving precise measurements and temperatures? Not so much - for most people.
We're mostly on the Grafana stack, so we tend to favor their open-source solutions for metric backends. For client libraries, we're currently using Prometheus for metrics and OpenTelemetry (OTEL) for tracing, but we're looking to migrate fully to OTEL once metrics are stable there. As for logging, it depends on the project, but generally we use either Zerolog or Zap, with either Loki Docker plugin or Promtail.
