I completely understand the downvotes, but as a German, I couldn't help but chuckle and think: "yes!"

The website's design is so bad, it's almost a new userinyerface.com. I don't even know where to start, so let's go left-to-right and then top-to-bottom. Grab a bag of chips if you wish, because I'll be going on a rant :D.

Alright, top left:

We get two photos (well, clearly rendered, but made to look like photos) of boxes like those software boxes that were sold in the 2000 era. Clearly they're selling something, is it software, is it mentoring (it says so on the box, but that's the brand name I guess?)? Does this run on Windows 98 or XP?

The two boxes also look identical, but a closer look reveals they aren't. Actually, to me, the links behind them revealed they aren't. The links also reveal it's not software but a mentoring program. In a box. From 2000. Ok.

Let's move on to the center column. A title (makes sense), font choice ok but not brilliant - the plus signs of C++ just look horrible; clearly for a site that specialises on C++, you choose a font that does that better. Date of the post is great; some newer websites omit that and it always infuriates me. It's a German website, it will have the date and all other relevant information; that at least you can rely on.

Then there's a tweet button, a linkedin share button but no whitespace between the two, then a FB like button with whitespace to the linkedin button and a FB share button that has a different blue than the FB like button, and the share button text baseline is different to the other buttons. Oh my...

Moving over to the right. Left alignment seems purely optional, and as such, the "become a patreon" button grants itself some sweet ~20px margin. It's also horribly blurry on my screen. Then we have the "Subscribe to the newsletter (+ pdf bundle)" heading which has so much whitespace to the email field that you have to look twice to be sure they're connected. That whole input field... I mean, why? Why not just put "email" as a placeholder in the input, and align the "subscribe" button in one row with the input? This is all followed by the ">> Start here <<" and ">> Visual tour <<" buttons (two >> arrows, really?), which again are blurry, have different sizes, yet again a different margin (who needs alignment anyway...) - also "start here" with what? If that's your call to action, why not put it in the center of the page?

In some cute way, this gives me massive retro vibes to the time where we still had under-construction gifs. It would be insanely funny if this website was satirical. But it isn't, it's trying to promote a brand new book.

And that's the sad state about the German software industry. The industry has treated software engineering like mechanical engineering way too long, with isolated teams that have long iteration cycles. Modern software engineering in other parts of the world (like the bay area) has much more design thinking incorporated into it. Imagine any company launching on HN with a website like this... This is, fundamentally, a structural problem, and will only change if the average developer also demands more design from websites.
>"The PERQ CPU was a microcoded discrete logic design, rather than a microprocessor. It was based around 74S181 bit-slice ALUs and an Am2910 microcode sequencer. The PERQ CPU was unusual in having 20-bit wide registers and a writable control store (WCS), allowing the microcode to be redefined.[4]"

The LLM-generated misinformation isn’t any different than the misinformation we had before ChatGPT. (Perhaps it’s worded a bit better in some cases.)

We have the same sources for truth we’ve always had. Trusted sources. Trusted sources for textbooks, articles, etc..
I assume his goal is to become a professional bull-shitter, not a knowledge worker, then ChatGPT is great. Bull shitting has excellent career prospects so it is a perfectly valid path in life, the biggest risk is that ChatGPT could replace them pretty soon.
I found him to be a pompous ass and the event to be a bit cultish. The souvenir sales out front solidified it.

Abandoning friends at the first sign of problems, without at least trying to help them leads long term to a society where almost everyone has fallen down and has been abandoned.
I actually find postman quite useful for the work I do (heavily api-related) - if you work in that space, what other tools would you recommend instead?
Yep, circa 1995 a "normal" hard disk was 300 to 500 MB, a whole disk image would fit on a CD, we had an external CDRW drive (yes, parallel interface), soon after 1 GB to 2.1 GB become common, and I remember making multiple "data" partitions around 650 MB in size because contents of one such partition would surely fit on a backup CD.

The CD's (media) in those times were surely more durable, but also the actual drives were much more robust.

I still have somewhere a (SCSI) CDRW drive using one of those "caddies" that can read at 1x that could sometimes read old CD's that more modern drives failed at (used to, it's a lot of time I don't use it).
“Unfair” is clickbait. If you merely wanted to be concise, you could write “distinct” or perhaps “significant” instead. (“Large” or “big” would both work OK, but wouldn’t sound as cool.)

There are some people who do an account per post, but doing something like that and like what you do assumes a thread model which I don't share. Who is the one who would start making profiles based on HN? What might they aim for? What can they achieve? I don't think that they will make it that far with what I've shared here or even with cross-referencing it with other of my stuff online, so I spare myself the mental effort of churning profiles.
I agree. Like, you could build two houses: one out of sticks, the other brick. Depending on who's building it, if they've not built a house out of brick before, it's very easy to make a mistake. Versus someone who's been building stick houses forever will get it right the first time.

Also, brand new software in general is like a new hybrid plant. How does it behave in this environment compared to other plants? Does it attract more bugs? Does it need different care? We don't know yet; it's new.

And even for an old well known plant, if the gardener hasn't gotten to know it yet, it's easy to make a mistake with its care. But a well known plant with a gardener who's grown it before is the most likely to work without issue.
Do you? Why?

They collect their pay at the end of the month either way, as long as they don't get laid off of course. Do most people actually care about the 'mission' of the company or do they just want a nice pay at the end of the month and to enjoy the work/journey along the way.

Personally if i got paid well, enjoyed the work and got to play around with tech that i thought was interesting, I wouldn't care if Meta itself was successful in what it was trying to do, i'd only be a small cog in that machine.
You are correct. [1]

So apparently people _want_ to smoke tobacco.

My issue with your comment that I have attempted to frame in that pithy one-liner is that microtransactions are often sold through a manipulative sales window, in some cases games are designed around them to make the micro-transactions more appealing (e.g. games that throttle your progress unless you spend).

In addition, using revenue as a measure of popularity with micro-transactions is problematic because they are designed to effectively segment the market. This means they're not necessarily a solid indicator of what an average/median user might want because sometimes much of that revenue is a product of relatively few users (aka "whales").

Statistically, more accidents occur in highways than roadways. The general idea is that accidents are more prone to happen there's overload of tasks (i.e. changing lanes while maintaining safe distance between cars in multiple lanes).

I'd say driving along a relatively straight road on a high way is much easier (and less accident prone) than driving on a street in say SF or NYC.
What you say makes theoretical sense, but many bank systems still enforce weak password constraints because someone enforced those weak constraints 30 years ago in mainframe code that nobody seems to want to update.
2000-2010 or so.

Cool project! Thank you!
I would request a new feature, a page/document upload (in parts if it is big) to update the right\correct context. For example the current documentation for the framework I use version 27, but chatgpt only knows version 17 of it and I have to upload pieces of documentation every time to get correct updated code snippets.

That would be great, something like a button\action with a promt that would load and split if needed large amounts of text and promt it in conversation. (maybe add format some parsing, like markdown or plain text)
His ramp initiative is very cool, he’s also setting up a cafe the past few months, but none of this is actually part of his work he’s paid for at Twitter.

If Twitter was his retirement fund then I don’t know what to say really, you bet on an unknown, needlessly burned money on taxes to feel good in the short term and then treated Twitter like a side gig.

I wish the guy well but just because his actions outside of Twitter were noble doesn’t mean Twitter should finance it just because he joins a few meetings a week. Should have been No.1 priority to keep that paying out, the cafe can wait till actual retirement.

Complacency.
The quotes are about different experimental conditions: 1) pure epinephrine (which returned only 87% pure) and 2) EpiPen solution (which starts out with less than 100% epinephrine and apparently returned with an amount below the detection threshold)

Probably some other ingredient of the EpiPen solution reacted with the epinephrine, causing it to degrade faster than the pure stuff.
> Until now I thought that sites where you go to spend money are free of ads

Why would you think this? An IRL analogue is that the grocery store is full of ads and displays meant to catch your attention — paid for by the food/product manufacturers.
Yeah there is risk in taking out a janga piece and the whole tower falls! I actually love removing tons of code and being 100% sure I didn't mess anything up. If you have that 100% feeling it means you understand the entire codebase.

Go to Walmart.com or Target.com and you can filter for items sold by Walmart and Target.

Or eBay and Aliexpress. What Amazon is good for is cheap $20 to $100 items that you want the ability to easily return for a refund.

That's the more acceptable answer, because the question is a trap designed to bait the answerer into saying that racial slurs are acceptable in some circumstances, and then bargain them down or take them out of context. Since the question is dishonest there's no reason to treat it as you would a real situation, where I think if something this contrived happened you'd be able to argue duress as an excuse.

Both GPT users and GPT owners need to understand what "trolling" is.
Yes, I was half-joking however in my experience such interventions, no matter their intentions, often fail and may sometimes be considered too invasive/offensive.
TED is also a laundry for the wealthy. It’s a knock-off of Davos (also PR, because the WEF itself doesn’t have power) that isn’t overtly evil, and it’s also more accessible, insofar as anyone who wants to attend probably can if they make the effort.

The WEF is a weird brand of expensive deadpan satire. The institution itself doesn’t have the power to implement conspiratorial evil, and the attendees can do that anywhere. Davos is more of a meme than it does anything. People who own billion dollar meat companies aren’t actually going to make us eat bugs. TED is a nicer, left-speaking alternative for people who get the Davos joke, and its purpose is to trick the PMCs into thinking they are still in college and that this is actually a mutual aid society where the way things are is just the best humans can do.

I don’t think anyone’s going to listen to a whole podcast to get the answer they’re looking for. I’m still of the opinion that “programmatic SEO” == spam, but perhaps you can use the space here to explain why that’s not the case. I perused your Twitter but was admittedly left even more confused.

“ Programmatic SEO is not a means for replacing human written content.

This strategy targets keywords that aren't served well by human written content. It lacks the critical analysis and nuance only humans can provide.”

Maybe you can explain. Is it a real human writing every line of the copy you’re generating? If not, how is it not very directly “replacing human written content”.

What you’ve mentioned in this thread seems to run contrary to what’s on your Twitter and the product page itself.
Church encoding is pretty cool, yes! It encodes Booleans such that »if == id«. Likewise, natural numbers are essentially counting for-loops: 3 f x = f (f (f x)), so »for == id«.

You can have zero empathy for my arguments... but one still should be following the law. I dislike how zoning happens in the US (NIMBYism, et al.) but I still follow them to the best of my ability. These AirBnB folks are outright disregarding them.

We can disagree about laws but not following/enforcing laws because you disagree with them (for most part) is a recipe for disaster.

But. Heh. Ripoff. Might as well call the original worms a basic mashup of lemmings/scorched earth, or every 3d shooter interface post wolf3d/doom a ripoff of those. In the genre would be more accurate, and it definitely has a lot of unique elements.

I disagree. Target audience is not the same. Stardew Valley and Cities Skyline do not compete with Clash of Clans.

I'm not worried about self-acting AIs. Or what would be considered sentient, something acting without prompt or request. We are far away from that.

What I could worry about is miss-use and failure to ensure the output in so many use cases. And maybe too many developing blind trust in AI and then not thinking and critically verifying output. Not so big thing for media, images, video and so on. But actually using AI generated content for let's say some control system. Maybe for self-driving or in factory. Not that world will be taken over, but that people will be killed.
Good point! For me the failure was placing the buttons on the plate itself.
and this specifically disproves the core premise & title of the article.

SOME people DO need a faster dishwasher. Sometimes the next meal is always "now". Along the same lines restaurants are happy to sacrifice energy efficiency for speed, and they've already got better cleanliness than consumer machines because of those efficiency sacrifices.

This also shows why we need diversity in hiring. Only someone who'd never worked in a restaurant or never considered the needs of one would write this. With diversity we can see needs that are being overlooked. With a diverse set of eyes we can see the "obvious" falsehoods in our assumptions.

You don't need to implement it on your own, you can use library.

Nice error messages exist there as well.

If you're casting untyped results, you can change one side and not the other and find out about this problem when in production. Or simply any mistake will get unnoticed.

Using typescript first library allows you to do much more - supports opaque types, custom constructors and any imaginable validation that can't be expressed in json schema.
You can do this same trick with any algebraic type, honestly (modulo lazyness):

## type Silly = Foo | Bar Int | Qux String Silly

## Constructors

def Foo(onFoo, onBar, onQux):
return onFoo()

def Bar(arg0):
return lambda onFoo, onBar, onQux: onBar(arg0)

def Qux(arg0, arg1):
return lambda onFoo, onBar, onQux: onQux(arg0, arg1)

## Values of Silly type are Foo, Bar(x) and Qux(x, y)

## Destructor

def match_Silly(silly, onFoo, onBar, onQux):
return silly(onFoo, onBar, onQux)

You can make a whole language on top of that if you don't mind effectively disabling your CPU's branch predictor.
This could end up being worse from a signal-integrity point-of-view, as now both of those traces have a stub (of different lengths!), which will comb-filter the signal.

If you wanted to be fancy, it would have been better to lift those two pins, or to cut the traces.

All this is completely unnecessary given the speeds involved (12Mbit/s) and possible skew or stub lengths, which they acknowledge.

“confabulations” seems to fit.
TFA does explain what they mean:

> in my mind, the difference between validation and parsing lies almost entirely in how information is preserved

“parse don’t validate” is a pithy and easy to remember maxim for this preservation.

Because validation is implicitly necessary for parsing to a representation which captures your invariants anyway, by banning validation as a separate concept you ensure sole validation doesn’t get reintroduced, because any validation step outside of a wider parsing process is considered incorrect.
Well, and that's not to mention the massive amounts of personal data and metadata Discord is hoarding and doing whatever it wants with.

I fail to see why this article didn't mention that OpenFeint had a privacy lawsuit in its end as well.

One can only hope this privacy-hostile proprietary platform dies sooner rather than later.
