How does they author (or anyone else) propose that you do autoscaling without locking yourself into a single cloud’s apis? K8 is not something we want to invest in but it seems like the only cross-platform game in town, (which we want to take advantage of gpu prices and credits)

I strongly disagree, I don't think movies have gotten better in any regard except for the cost of special effects (cheaper than ever before, and so, used more often and generally with less thought and care.)
Apple Arcade is great for that reason.

No ads, no micro transactions, very high quality games.

> if young American men had the opportunity to learn how to court women

You growing up in a culture where courting women is encouraged makes a huge difference, you can't really practice if it isn't socially acceptable to court women badly.
I have had legit emails end up in the spam folder since 2011 or so

That sounds bit perverse.
With a few exceptions small claims limits are in the $10-15k range, with many many states closer to $5k.

There's a lot of stuff that can happen with damages between $15,000 and $1,000,000.
Basically just an argument against premature optimization. Which is fine. In my experience, small startups tend to use whatever arch. they think is fun + gets spun up easily.
Until I read your comment I was thinking about Flappy Bird, not Angry Birds. All the comments still made sense though.
I have found that listening to audiobooks at 1.35X speed is the "best value" speed. It shortens the amount of time wasted on silence and is still comprehensible. Going any faster than that leads to some incomprehension and strange audio distortions.

I find that reading rather than listening to an audiobook is the superior form of consumption for knowledge retention however.

I assume this will be different for each individual.
Part of me thinks the only thing they did wrong was admit to using ChatGPT. Given how routine and formulaic these statements have become, presumably ChatGPT would excel at them. I bet if we pull some statements from other universities, they all read the same. I've been out of university for over a decade and even then these were routine.
That’s a good point that the article doesn’t touch on! (and along with the other ones from the article, makes a lot more sense than the “10% of the men date all the women” meme I see repeated in this HN discussion).
I don't think Disney can quite be put in the same breath. (disclaimer: shareholder, though not in any grandiose quantities) I always imagine Disney as basically 3 apparatuses:

1. A squeaky-clean princess printing machine that reliably churns out 50 billion dolla- I mean, a new Disney Princess franchise every 5-10 years. No expense is spared on making the movie a lavishly animated, voiced, scripted, and instantly treasured addition to any childhood. (Because they know every dollar there will throw off a thousand in merchandising and Disney World tickets)

2. Weird creative stuff. Pixar is in this bucket, imo. Soul and Inside Out and such were amazing, amazing movies but they're obviously not going to put merchandise on the shelves. But they still sell out theaters and help build (maintain) brand prestige.

3. An oracle-tier legal/financial arm that is essentially independent of 1 and 2 that just views itself as having a giant stack of copyrights and money and it needs to turn it into more money.

So while (imo, this is subjective obviously) I think 1 and 2 are roughly as good as they ever were (and remember that Disney almost died multiple times due to not actually being very good for decade long stretches), 3 doesn't care about that and if some tactic with DVD supply or whatever will help juice sales, they'll do it because it's their job.

Disney gets a lot of flack, and rightly so! They're a big reason why copyright in the US is so fucked up, and I do hate them for that. But at the same time, I think they honestly do contribute more to artistry and enduring culture in the West than lots of other companies with even-worse legal departments do.
As long as I've been working (since around '92 or so), my varying employers have periodically insisted that we "set goals" some time around the beginning of the year, work toward those goals during the year, and then submit to evaluation against those goals at the end of the year. Every single year I've ever seen it tried, there were a set of initiatives that were perceived as being super important toward the beginning of the year, and everybody set goals around those. Then, around the middle of the year, those initiatives were scrapped, everybody pivoted to something else, and the goals that were set at the beginning of the year were meaningless. Every. Single. Time. The only thing that was more predictable than trying to set annual goals and have them remain relevant for an entire year being impossible was managements absolute inability to recognize and learn from this inevitability.
How many people here know swap stations are a mainstream normal thing for mopeds in some Chinese cities? How many people here know that in some Chinese cities there are no gas mopeds?

Acceleration of vesting is also potentially a legal protection against litigation claiming an employee was terminated to prevent vesting. It's often easier to just let someone vest than to prove you are not trying to get out of the grant.
Is there no or little downside risk?

What if I microwave my cat (she was wet, I wanted to dry her. The manual did not explicitly state I could not dry my cat in the oven), and then sue?

Sounds the upside risk is big: chance to win thousands (millions?) but what if I lose? Am I forced to pay thousands (millions?)? It sounds like you are saying the chances to lose are big.
> What was your backup plan if things didn't work out as you intended, what else could you have chosen as your profession?

I've been in love with coding since forever so I had no plan B. Still don't have a plan B even though in the past I did write (and typeset myself, back in the Quark XPress days on the old, pre OS X, MacOS days and even with typeset one with LaTeX too) a great many books.

So... I'd say my plan B would have been, although I didn't know it, something related to "writing words" instead of "writing code".

I did really enjoy learning typography and typesetting too.

But I don't miss it: I'm glad to be "writing code".

I'm also procrastinating since years on starting a blog for fun (not for profit), which is weird as I've written complete books so a blog doesn't sound intimidating.
> Your consent to be used in research is basically baked into anything you’ve whipsaw signed at a doctor’s office.

Eh, that's not exactly true. HIPAA isn't the only (or even primary) vehicle for safeguarding patients from research, and most research is conducted under the auspices of large (usually academic) institutions that have processes to ensure informed consent, which are in turn backed by other legal statutes or contracts. Those aren't perfect, but it's not correct to say that patients provide blanket consent when they begin at a new practice, or that HIPAA is responsible.
Most of them had mentors in one form or another.

You'd think that these billion dollar companies could defeat spam. It's sad really. Facebook is loaded with it in the comments. I keep getting those random emails you speak about, whether its related to pharma or trying to convince me I have an invoice for $382 with McAfee or Norton virus scanner. Not hard to note that once it's marked as "spam", it should be able to grab those keywords and pattern of text and block it. It doesn't seem like by allowing it there's much in it for them.
I had a conversation on HN w/ a MS engineer last week about the System.Numerics improvements:

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=34793453

This stuff is super exciting to me. I've been using the SIMD-accelerated numerics for a side-project.

.NET8 is also an LTS version, so we are going to be upgrading to this for our B2B product sometime this year or early next. We had to skip over 7 due to our constraints, so we will be going from 6=>8.
Species going extinct doesn't make the world deader.

"Bland" is a better argument. If one bird species spreads across the world and outcompetes 10 regional species, there will be just as many birds as before. There will be less regional variation though.
Too many vendors with me-too products that claim they're going to help me integrate and build APIs. I see it as the easiest thing in software development, am I supposed to get help from people who think it's the hardest?
The real question here is what makes you think you need a product that automatically scales?

If you have to think about it, chances are you don't need it. It's often the case about a lot of optimizations. I've had clients ask for help sharding their database, when that's almost never the correct course of action.
Being locked into a specific cloud is usually nowhere near the top of threats to a startup.
I believe that being cloud independent is a bit of a pipe dream for startups.

Sure, Kubernetes gives you some independence but then you still depend on a lot of vendor specific services like S3, RDS, SES, SQS, etc.
Metro resident since 2015 here, aside from rising home prices just about everything has gotten better for me. Expanded transit, light rail will be within walking distance of my house in 2 years, better food and restaurants, incredible schools for the future with kids, etc. That doesn't happen because people sit around with their thumbs up their butts.
Saying other programming languages are easier to learn is practically the same as saying they’re easier to start writing bugs sooner.

I forgot who said this but something like “if reading code is ‘debugging’ then writing code is ‘bugging’”
People swap propane tanks for their grills all the time.

Compatibility isn't really that much of problem, because you know, you designed for it. It's not like they're going to be all "oh shit, the compartment only fits AAA batteries and we accidentally made it into a 9V form factor."

If you've gone to a battery store lately (batteries plus), you can see that keeping track of battery inventory isn't really a hard problem.

When I first heard about NIO's battery thing it sounded pretty interesting. Ideally you'd go in, get a cup of coffee, and you'd be done - in about the time it takes to fill your gas tank. You don't have to build out an electric charging infrastructure, and you can centrally charge your batteries at whatever speed you feel like. You don't have problems with recycling, and you can also directly monitor for battery issues.

And since it's a service center you can keep an eye on the cars and what's happening with them.

In any case, our opinions don't matter because they're doing it and have been relatively successful at it.
Ah, you must not have seen the pre-ipod players. The Personal Jukebox was 2.5 larger than an ipod. It didn't fit in a pocket and the grey plastic felt cheap compared to the ipod's shiny metal back. It really felt experimental, and nothing like the polished Walkmen Sony was making.
True! I also have the bad habit of thinking, "it's too late" to start doing something new, especially in sports. I focus on everything I could've learned if I had started long ago rather than seeing the opportunities in everything I still can learn! :)
Depends who you ask.

Based upon the community that developed around recreating the earlier formulas with a recipe and product lists, I’d say for the worse.

Based upon individual accounts of those I know, largely worse.

Some might like the changes.

It is far easier to buy the liquid form than the powder, so that says plenty as well.
It requires the iPhone to go "home" or "work" or any regular repeated location with the airtag following for some period of time.

That's why the dog airtag in the article continues to go off, when they take the dog on a walk, it follows the same path, then ends up back at the shared house. Their case would be solved by using an iCloud family plan, but they don't want to.

The station could test the battery and charge you/give you a credit depending on the capacity difference. Every battery would have an audit trail as well
Do you actually need autoscaling? Or is it something you're worried you might need one day
Pretty sure humans caused the extinction of many of the target de-extinction animals. We became insanely good hunters, and killed off just a massive amount of megafauna like mammoths, and then we proceeded to do it to a ton of other species.

I am not so fatalistic about humanity’s environmental impact to just chalk it up to “well, see, mammoths shouldn’t have been so easy for humans to kill and so tasty…” or the same thing applied to any of the more recent species due to habitat loss, etc. (“sorry you can’t thrive in suburbs or clear cut fields, evolution is a b*tch, ain’t she?”)

Humanity’s capacity for higher level reflection is ALSO “natural” in the same sense, so all of these de-extinction projects are equally “natural.”
The M-series is way faster than previous generations even in single treaded general purpose code. “Computers don’t get faster anymore” was Intel’s inability to innovate for many years, not an inevitability of physics. We will reach the end of Moore's law someday, but it’s not there yet.
maybe a secondary system that could raise alarms since in this case, the weight calculated must have been outside of the standard deviance of the weights recorded over time?

I'm sure there are app devs that use this to offer a "free demo", but I suspect the bulk of them use it because IAPs aren't subject to Family Sharing the way that paid apps are.
I remember reading, maybe it's been 20-30 years ago now, that there was a lot more sex portrayed in media than sex people were actually having. To your point, today's young men have grown up with that too - thinking people are casually hooking up and having sex all the time when in reality they're not. Add in porn portraying women as nymphs who are eager to lose their clothes with little to no provocation and it would appear these young men have a very skewed idea of how sex and relationships work in the real world. Maybe they're figuring it out as they get older and that's part of the reason why today's young women are dating older men?

Ask HN: What would you do if you got given £4000 to learn about tech?
If you were given £3000-4000, and were a student, how would you effectively use this money, with books, courses, places you would go to abroad etc, all to do with finance/tech.
Bringing back beaver and wolves to areas where they've been wiped out is functionally the same and shows that often such niches don't get filled all that fast. The replacement for wolves has been hunters, beavers had no replacement. Usually when either gets reintroduced, the local ecosystem functions quite a bit better, there has been quite a bit of backlash by hunters because it turns out wolves do a substantial part of their work and there is less need to control deer populations. Might not work in all cases, but even if partial restoration is an option, having that genome around is a good thing in itself, as life thrives off diversity. Reducing genetic diversity hampers an ecosystem's ability to adapt to change. We have a lot of ecosystems that have been decimated to the point of being close to unviable, and we're losing keystone species all the time. Fixing what drove them over the cliff (hard if it's feral cats, easier if it's a specific pesticide, disease, hunting, or habitat fragmentation) and subsequent reintroduction may well prove a pretty important strategy to keep the world a place that humans can thrive in, especially given the predicted decrease in world population by the end of the century which may result in renaturation of swathes of land.
I can't help but suspect that ChatGPT's clear bias resulted from a fair amount of this.
Good call out. There are a lot of unnecessary complexity plaguing the tech scene.

Scalability, microservice, SRE, SPA, unit testing, design system, Restful/graphQL everything. Not saying there isn't a place for them, there is. But probably not at day 1 when the thing you intended to make your living didn't even exist.
Can you elaborate on what it means to court a woman?
The first point barely makes sense if you can have more than one bay. Also it's about how many can you swap in an hour vs charge? The base expectation is you'll be able to do way more cars since they don't have to sit and wait for an hour just like gasoline cards today.

Battery degrading is only an issue if I own the battery instead of getting it like a subscription. A 10% swing in range shouldn't matter in most scenarios as long as I only pay for the energy used.

All these problems here are solvable. I think there are way bigger issues for the company like now they need to own a bunch of batteries and house those on the books.
people forget that the first ipod was firewire only and firewire was a very apple thing at the time. it wasn't until they gave in and changed it to usb (and released iTunes for windows) that it really set the world on fire.
“ you need to do to get this much of a raise or this much of a bonus,”

In sales it’s fairly simple to set clear goals that can be evaluated in the review. I think for a lot of other people goals constantly change during the year. It’s hard to evaluate that. It could maybe work if management constantly gave you clear and achievable goals for the month but that would require a lot of effort by management.

In the end annual reviews are BS for most people. “Nice job last year. Keep sound what you did. We don’t have money for raises.”.

I'm not saying no one uses long shots or takes anymore and they aren't totally ineffective - I just watched Mandy over the weekend and it has plenty and they are used effectively but it's also a move that seems to have people regarding it in extremes - it's really a love or hate because of the choices they make.

But what I'm trying to say is there are other tools in the toolbox now - I haven't heard anyone say that Everything Everywhere All At Once was bad, it's a great movie, absolutely full of deliberately chosen mood, and it never has to resort to extremely long shots that take the wind out of the story's sails.
If you have complex orchestration needs, then none of these five criticisms apply, as any one-off solution would be even worse. If you don't have complex orchestration needs, then there's no need to use k8s.

> Lets consider you are a small to medium size startup your application consists of a couple of backend services a database a caching service and a load balancer.

This is very squarely on the "you don't have complex orchestration needs" side of the spectrum.
We even use K8S in local dev env...wth?
GP mentioned GPUs. GPUs + bursty traffic = either you autoscale, or you burn through a bunch of credits and VC cash on idle GPUs.
> Imagine car makers reacted to first car accidents by putting pillows around the cars rather than figuring out we need legal moves (road rules, drivers licenses, car safety standards, infrastructure to separate flows of traffic, etc.)

I think this analogy may work but not in the way you are saying.

"Pillows" here would be seatbelts, and other actual car safety features. Those have been massively successful in reducing traffic deaths. As bad as it is today, take a look at what car crash fatalities were like in the 60s.

The car companies fought tooth and nail against safety features back in the day, and they didn't become ubiquitous until the government stepped in and required them. Which I'd image is exactly what Apple is trying to get ahead of here.
I'm working on a problem in this space and my current line of thinking is...

1) there isn't very good definition of what most jobs are.

2) the definition isn't pulled through all your human capital management systems (recruiting, onboarding, career management, performance management, and off boarding).

So, I'm working on building a product that pulls 1 + 2 together.
Those prices were still from over a year before Apple announced the iPod, in a market where technology was rapidly advancing and getting cheaper, and those were the MSRP for single unit quantities, not the bulk order prices that would have been available at launch, let alone the bulk order prices that would have been available when Apple was planning to launch their iPod.

As others have pointed out here, there were other competitors offering larger-than-1-inch hard drives like the ones Apple used.

As I have pointed out elsewhere, a portable MP3 player with about 5GB of storage was actually introduced about 2 years before the iPod.

Based on the available evidence, storage was not the defining feature that made iPod successful, which is the claim that anecdote was trying to make. The iPod was successful for other reasons, regardless of how emotionally compelling that anecdote tries to be.
Sure, but that doesn’t mean it’s impossible to do decent estimation with predictable delivery in a relatively healthy environment.
> sometimes C++-but-no-templates

I can understand exceptions, but what constraints require you to ban templates? If its just code size then it seems a bit arbitrary to ban them completely.

AFAIK most users of C++ do ban some features in their projects so I don't see why that specifically is holding embedded back. Disabling exceptions specifically is something that is not unheard of outside embedded either.
I think the apt comparison here is landing on the moon. Although overtly it carries little value, the technologies developed along the way are very valuable.

As the article mentions improved fertilization, more accurate genome editing, and advances in in-vitro gastrulation are the real prize.

To me there is also something profoundly sad about the loss of molecular information with each extinct species. Having a simple hope, perhaps naive, to reverse this process is comforting.
I wonder how common it is for a bug to be finally detected by the manufacturer months or years after users were impacted by it and thought it was fishy.
I wonder what design practices extend that intervening time, and which ones shorten it.
Why does this seem so absurd to you?
