Couple issues with the way this study was conducted / the claims being made:

1. I'm not sure artists try to always show the "ideal" of anything. Does every artists always try to paint a 'perfect' face? There are a ton of contextual factors at play into what is depicted.

2. All art is a reaction to prior work, whether intentional or not. Otherwise, based on this study, should we expect art to depict gigantic leg sized dongs in the future? The artists intention with the size of the wiener is a huge unknown variable. Given how sizes 'exploded' in the 21st century compared to prior time periods, I think this is greatly at play.

3. Art comes in many forms, making an apples to apples comparison impossible. How can you compare a renaissance wang from an abstracted anaconda?

They mention a link to porn. I agree this is likely the cause of lower male self-esteem about their pocket snakes. Not sure young men are getting these thoughts from art class.
By playing to the choir, how else? Elon Musk is mobilizing his followers because he would like to gut legal protection for his employees, ADA is only the start. Elon Musk talking crap like he does says a lot about us, and it's not favourable.
It seems that he exhausted all other options. HR wouldn’t my tell him whether he was employed or not.

What is he supposed to do in his situation? Continue twiddling his thumbs for weeks without knowing whether he will get paid or not?

I'm still missing an answer on how are we supposed to source all the minerals like lithium, copper, etc, without an increase in the usage of petrochemicals and keeping it carbon neutral.
> It's going to be a very expensive tweet for Musk.

Well a previous one cost him 44 billion dollars, so I think he's okay with this one.
You are correct that everyone deserves access. At the same time it's a better outcome if businesses are allowed (or forced) to spend money on accessibility upgrades instead of paying out to lawyers.

With respect to performance and semantics, it's not closer to JS -- it's a typed language that uses types for AoT compilation, like C++ and Rust.

The GC is a big difference, but it's also a pretty good one from what I know.

The author of esbuild is understands software performance deeply (e.g. architected Figma in the browser in C++). He tried esbuild in both Rust and Go, and preferred Go for performance.

Musk has an idiotic definition of work. He seems to think it's everyone's job to hack out code. The guy in question was in a senior leadership role, which means most of his work was just communicating with his team.
If we are displeased with the society we have built (and most everyone seems to be, in one way or another), we are welcome to change it. The laws of physics do not stand in our way.
Why it should, when there will be demand for it? Last time when French were trying to raise taxes on gas, it ended with Yellow vests riots.
Not on the front page any more, flagged
So give up your ICEs.
I can see why this man would be rubbing Musk the wrong way. He appears to be everything Elon Musk isn't. He's a Mensch.

To a narcissist who doesn't like a person like this, the brain says "Either he's a fraud, or I'm the asshole". And a narcissist brain will settle that question in e heartbeat, with the wrong answer.
Sounds like M68K or something similar, although Alpha AXP had similar byte level access issues. A compiler on either of those platforms likely would add a lot of fix up code to deal with the fact they have to load the aligned (either 16bit in M68K case or 32Bit IIRC in Alpha) and then do bitwise and shifts depending on the pointers lower bits.

I thought is hard to have low latency audio in Linux with stuff like PulseAudio.
> dependently-typed language.

Now, are there really tools to make type systems with dependent types simple to prove? In reasonable time? How about the effort developers would have to put into just trying to express such types and into verifying that such an expression is indeed accomplishing its stated goals?

Just for a moment, imagine you filing a PR in a typical Web shop for the login form validation procedure, and sending a couple of screenfulls of Coq code or similar as a proof of your password validation procedure. How do you think your team will react to this?

Again, I didn't say it's impossible. Quite the opposite, I said that it is possible, but will be so bad in practice that nobody will want to use it, unless they are batshit crazy.
You're not breaking anything to me, I know it's going on, I just don't see the point in worrying about it?

If you're friends are good artists they will find something cool to make using the new technology, something cooler than the dude who fired them can produce with DALL-E.

Maybe next time the turn around time is too slow, they'll use some technology to speed that up and deliver more stuff faster.

You live you learn.

On the other hand, not sure how much you've used these tools, I'm sick of giving the "yes they're impressive disclaimer" but they still don't deliver you what you actually want, you still need to work for that. They can't read your mind and even if they could, some people would probably still have some cooler ideas people will want.

Honestly, there are so, so, so many creative agencies, already, they have work for a reason, because people who actually have work to do are too busy being "prompt engineers", choosing the right art etc. Yes there will be an impact, but I doubt this is going to be the end of all creative work. I've worked at plenty of startups, enterprises etc, where the creative people did a lot more than just create images.
It’s a thing for me, Teslas have become much less psychologically desirable over the last few months. Nothing personal to anyone who bought one, but now I see them and wince/feel sorry for the owner rather than feeling mildly impressed and jealous.
Show HN: BabyGate Mobile app (babyproof your phone)
My Sister just became a new mother , and my adorable niece Chapman kept taking our phones and changing settings or calling people. Jacquelyn (sister) had the idea of making a babyproof app that would LOOK like a phone, but couldn't do any real damage.

So we made BabyGate, and added educational things like Animals and Alphabets, along with kid safe videos from YouTube Kids.

I give it to my friends kids all the time, it works they love it.

Question for HN: I never know how to price these things, any feedback on pricing ? Or anything else for that matter. Thanks!

Under the hood it uses Kiosk mode for android, and GuidedAccess for iPhone.
Halli wasn’t trying to argue that he shouldn’t have been fired. He was asking if he had been fired at all because HR people weren’t getting back to him on this very basic question.
It's not, but for 3 functions, and reducing our dependencies, it was worth just cutting lodash out. We have been happy with the change.

EDIT: And to be a bit pedantic, importing single modules is not really treeshaking. You're literally just importing and including the entirety of single modules.
essentially pre-automotive cities vs. post-automotive cities.
> Basically the law surrounding phone call recordings suggests that for all intents and purposes, that right belongs to both entities independently. I'd apply the same to chat messages; the right to store them without prior consent belongs effectively to both parties.

Note however, that the law around mail and postal services suggests no such thing - on the contrary, once you send something, you lose your rights to it; you may have some residual rights for the duration of delivery, since the post is performing a service for you, but once the mail reaches its destination, its owned by the recipient.

Chat messages derive from physical mail, not phone calls, so I'd apply postal rather than telecom perspective here. Phone calls are in some sense unique here: in its first widespread form, making a phone call meant creating a literal, direct electrical connection between your microphone and a speaker on the other end - an unbroken conduit going for dozens, or hundreds, or thousands of kilometers - in order to "teleport" the sound waves by means of converting mechanical waves to electrical waves, and back again at the other end - allowing to have a conversation across distance by pretending it isn't there. Those first phone calls were direct evolution of spoken conversation - as opposed to written messages, whose analogues were sent over a telegraph.

Thus, in my mind, the right framework to think about IM chats and e-mails alike is through analogy to written letters and "snail mail" (if you really insist e-mails and IMs are not alike, then treat e-mails as similar to letters, and IM chats as similar to tiny notes passed around in the class by children, while the teacher is not looking). For phone calls, the right analogy is conversation. That extends to VOIP, Teams calls, Mumble/Teamspeak, etc. If you want digital voice communication that has semantics of mail, and not conversation, then we have that too: it's called voice messages, and is a feature in most IM platforms.

To spell out clearly what that last point means to me: mutual consent for call recording sounds reasonable. But if you send me a voice recording over Messenger or WhatsApp, to me it's just as if you sent a normal chat - and therefore something that I'm free to back up without your consent or even without informing you.
Let's say that some bigger cities will be able to achieve this, what about the rest of settlements?

If you look at the open compute project, you will see what hyperscaler-class hardware looks like. They just have a lot of computers.

Their computers share some resources for efficiency, like power supplies.
I have the backup codes of my most important account (email) printed and in my wallet. Without a hint to which account they belong. This helped me multiple times, where my phone was not available. I would recommend this to everyone, who uses 2fa.
I get all the objections, but — eSIM is extremely convenient for traveling, when you just want data in another country. You can have many of them stored in your phone and activate them as needed if you travel a lot. You also get dual-SIM on most devices so you don't have to carry a second phone for your domestic number.

I'd never replace my actual SIM with one though. I can't bring myself to trust software this much.
Looks great! Just had a go and the "physics" are off, at least compared to the original Boulderdash. Roughly 20 years ago when I wrote a Boulderdash clone, there was a test level floating around that you could use to verify your engine. A cursory Google search fails to find it, now, but I'm sure it's still out there.
Tried NMN and NR. Decided to stick with NR.

Since we're talkimg supplements I like the OG: fish oil, vitamin D, multivitamin.

Quick reminder for the younger readers: Customs and Border Patrol has doubled in size in the last 25 years, relative to the size of the population, and in my lifetime has increased the number of agents by 500%. I personally think these losers should get a real job and stop poking around in my mail. The explosion of third-tier fringe law enforcement agencies has not been good for Americans.
Me too! I clicked through, read the thread, came back to HN and it was gone! I resubmitted and it took me here. Maybe dang will chime in.

He asked if he was still employed by the means left to him since he couldn't get into his work accounts.

Nearly everything Elon disclosed didn't need to be disclosed publicly.

Just because someone asks you a question publicly, it doesn't give you carte blanche to unload every single detail you know about the person asking the question.
Show HN: I made a Figma plugin that writes clean front-end code
Hi HN,

I'm a front-end developer and work with Figma a lot. The manual process of converting components to code was bothering me, so I started looking into existing plugins.

The problem I found with current Figma-to-code plugins is that they usually try to convert your entire artboard at once – which doesn't produce great code, and most of the time I want to convert one specific component anyway.

Moreover, current plugins usually require you to structure your designs well, and depend on features like layer constraints and autolayout.

So I started looking into the Figma Plugin API docs, and found a way to listen to what components are currently selected. I also started experimenting with layer-to-code conversion without relying on the structure within Figma, so that my plugin worked with any (messy) Figma file.

The result is Frontender, a Figma plugin that allows you to select any layer(s) in your design and convert it to code (HTML or JSX, CSS or Tailwind).

Please let me know what you think, you can get the plugin here: https://www.figma.com/community/plugin/1194222042313126344
Disregarding the environmental aspect, it is insane how reliable ICE cars are nowadays. If you follow the maintenance schedule prescribed by the manufacturer, and barring any accidents, your car will rarely develop any problems at all. Even for 15-20 years. They just keep going.

Yeah stuff like speakers and some electronics might give problems, but the core mechanicals will keep chugging longer than you would expect.
Someone flagged this now. Elon that you?
> Tesla the org does good work

Tesla has:

* falsified worker injury reports

* fired employees for raising security concerns

* fixed cars under goodwill service instead of warranty repairs to avoid lemon laws and various other accounting shenanigans

* blatantly lied about and marketed products named as Autopilot and Full Self-Driving, both of which have led to several accidents and even deaths

* personally attacked regulators or former regulators

* tried to quiet sexual harassment happening at the company

* industry lows in quality and reliability

* abused government subsidies
> but in fact has underlined how Musk couldn't get out of law and contract.

I have friends who worked at Twitter and were owed (and additionally, were promised by Twitter and Musk, in writing) both severance and RSU payouts. Musk has decided not to make these payments, so they are forced to sue/arbitrate for them. Similarly, Musk has decided not to pay AWS for services that AWS is contractually obligated to provide.

As a car owner, I'm confident that if Musk decided to break my warranty agreement I might eventually receive (some) compensation from the courts. Could his lawyers drag the process out by 2-3 years while my car remains broken? Absolutely. The only real protection I have against this is not to do any further business with Musk's companies, and I intend to do that.

My biggest concern is not warranties being broken: it is stuff like "Tesla issues a software update that disables core features of the car", which actually happened to my radar.
How did his disability prevent him from doing his job? You realize it's perfectly possible to type and code using voice control, with the right setup?

I call bullshit on this.

There will be lots of used BEVs in the market in 12 years from now. Nobody knows how electricity production will look like in 12 years, but it seems like there will be more and more renewables. Distribution grids might change somewhat in 12 years, too. People don't need to charge BEVs everyday, also nobody knows how public charging infrastructure will look like in 12 years, so no problems for people in "old apartment buildings".

Lots of speculation, little information.
Yeah I'd say if HR for a week was really "not able to confirm if [he is] an employee" that's a pretty bad sign. How do they even know everybody is getting paid if they don't know for sure who works there?
It is open source. Your browser retrives all the JS and html sources. Even if it were somehow closed source, it doesn't really matter. You can view web requests and other, and see for yourself.
But when you purchase hardware, are you not paying a lower cost than what you would to the hyperscalers?
I just thought the idea of a talking ship was funny, and enjoyed your reply!
>9 days ago the access to my work computer was cut, along with about 200 other Twitter employees. However your head of HR is not able to confirm if I am an employee or not. You've not answered my emails.

He got his work computer cut 9 days ago, which is probably why he was in contact with the head of HR to confirm his employment status.
Introducing a supply chain vulnerability in order to import utility functions that any novice could write is a choice, I suppose. By the way, did you know it’s been seven years since left-pad?
There is an extra superpower here that isn't mentioned - you can then trivially turn this into a CI job. This is a valid complete .gitlab-ci.yml file for the setup in this blog post:

image: nixos/nix:latest

before_script:
- nix-env -f shell.nix -i -A buildInputs

full_build:
stage: build
script:
- dune build

This uses a standard docker container with Nix built in. The before_script magic then installs everything into that container exactly as it is in your development environment. Subsequent commands then run exactly as in your environment.

Of course with this approach, every CI job builds your whole environment. If this complex, and involves many compilation steps, then that is painful and you will instead want to use the nix setup to build a docker image that is used for your CI. For many projects involving small teams, that isn't necessary though and this works really well.

If you searched "ADA abuse" you'd find hundreds of examples, many of which have brought thousands of cases, especially to small restaurants and small business websites

You have wonder what goes on in Musk's head. He lays off a guy with a fairly large Twitter following, who is quite wealthy, having founded a company that sold to Twitter, and is a well-known philanthropist in his own country, who also happens to have muscular dystrophy.

The guy politely tries to get his attention to find out whether he still has a job. And Musk's response is to interrogate him publicly, mock him, and accuse him of using his disability as an excuse to avoid work.

It's cretinous in so many different ways it's hard to see how the stupidest person would think it a sensible course of action.
Impossible deadline is nonsense. It did not worked in 5 years plans of communist central planning committee, it does not work in software engineering, it is not going to work here either.
What's being deprecated is the single module packages. So currently, you can do `npm install lodash.merge` and then just use that.

I believe the post you're replying to is referring to what I originally referred to (doing something like `const throttle = require('lodash/throttle')`, which you would install lodash normally for `npm install lodash`).
> (3) if/when he chooses to do this, his business partners, C-level employees and fellow investors will facilitate his behavior rather than providing any counterweight or cautionary advice.

This is a common thread from multiple people I've talked to who have worked for his companies. Everyone who works even close to his orbit are sycophants. You have to be or your career is... limited. I remember even applying for one of those companies some time ago. The phone screen went well and when I called the recruiter back a week later to ask how things were going, she said "[Hiring Manager's name] disagreed with Elon about something and no longer works here." Yow.
I mean this is an opportunity right? Build those things
> With a physical SIM those hacks are not possible even if I'm on a 20 yr old dumb-phone, because all the auth logic resides in the SIM itself.

Not nearly all parts of authentication and encryption happen in the SIM, and older generation phones are regularly deprecated (most recently for CDMA in the US and 3G in Germany for example, but also for non-VoLTE-capable devices on some networks in the US).
I wonder if people like these types because they validate their own shortcomings.

Instead of putting those missing functionalities into LLMs, I think those can be distinct components. Nonetheless LLMs undoubtedly plays a huge part in this setup. Much like how the linux kernel was the missing key component of the GNU system.
Good lord, this guy is like Gandhi but championing middle management. I can’t believe I only pay 8 bucks a month for this kind of entertainment.
