Ok, so everybody wants a faster dishwasher and nobody wants to discuss the article. Fine with me, so I can add my 2 cents:

In Germany, dishwashers (and washing machines, but let’s not go there) fall into two categories, either Miele or everything else. Miele has amazing quality, so it feels like the dishwasher might outlive you.

Mine has a „quick power wash“ programme that takes about an hour and gets the job done, but uses more energy and is maybe more aggressive to dishes, so I usually use other programmes, between 1 and 3 hours. There’s also a timer for starting the machine in n hours, operated by a single button. User interface is also brilliant in that there are no strange symbols, but reach light/ button clearly says what it does (in German). I like it.
Or you know, pop the Atmega out
Maybe better to block him. I did so because I was a bit sick of seeing his tweets - some of them are borderline offensive, some are him cosying up with far-right but the majority are just a bit try-hard, unfunny and ultimately sad.

I'm not a delicate flower when it comes to offense so I'd just roll my eyes when the first two kinds of tweets popped up. But seeing a grown man repeatedly trying and failing so hard at being a poster is a bit much to take.
I also often have ~20p over for dinner. Not so uncommon when you meet a couple of families with each a bunch of kids.

However - these types of dishwasher loads stack really well, actually the type of dishes dishwashers are made for packing. You can easily fill the dishwasher with 20 plates of the same type, same with cutlery and glasses. And most of the times at these parties the dishes are fresh, so easy to clean.

Another note. In Sweden and Europe the trend has been for slower programs. To be able to meet the energy consumption benchmarks. 30 years ago dishwashers would typically be done in 1h. Nowadays the default program is often set to 3h. (With an option to do it faster and burn more energy)

There are no silver bullets for whole system reliability, but high-availability clustered databases was this wiz bang thing that greatly improved the reliability of your database, back in the day. It didn't come cheap, and there were growing pains, but sometimes the available technology does make a difference.
Twitter kinda looks like a billionaire decided to pay a ridiculous amount of money for a company, just so he could destroy the livelihoods of thousands of people less fortunate.
The AI panic has caused me to discover the Lesswrong forums. It is absolutely the most hilarious cult I have ever encountered. The same adoption of weird insider language, the same rejection of outsiders and denounciation of “non rationalists”. They even aggressively promote their religious texts called unironically “The Sequences.” I used to wonder how Hollywood got so much influence from the “Scientology” cult but after seeing the “Rationalogy” cult it now makes total sense. These people need to be laughed at and excluded from public discourse.
The most satisfying experience for me at the moment is the suggestions I get on a new tab in chrome on Android.

Not because the suggestions are amazingly good - sometimes they're ok - but because when they lead to some crap-infested site I can click to not see that site any more. That ability to cull keeps the suggestions workable for me.

I genuinely think the Google would benefit hugely by making this a possibility with their search engine. With the coming flood of chatgpt-generated shit sites, they have so much to gain by enabling human curation, even if page impressions take a hit.

Ffs Google, provide your users with a way to blacklist the more abominable parts of the internet and you'll engender serious customer loyalty and stickiness.
I'm so glad I live in the EU
Yes sure, but you can still do a lot of interesting stuff without having a lot of radio tubes. You can put up a thin "shield" some meters away.

Stuff doesn't have to be very rigid in many cases if it's built "in situ" in space.
Not related with Illa. Entire different software. I believe it would be the next big thing because of the rapid features they add in compare with other tools.
Don't forget the 4th Law ("A robot shall not have or use access to means of unlimited self-reproduction") and the 5th Law ("A robot shall be able to explain its decisions").
I like Fly's response to the problems - honesty and openness - so I'm going to add to their problems and try to use it ;)

Times are now different money is not free anymore so those big acquisitions need to make real business sense.
Wow, that is super helpful. Thank you for releasing it!
Sounds like faangs are becoming more like banking environment where few % layoffs are often happening few times a year. It still sucks to be the one affected and over time it sucks out a lot of positive energy
It is not clear that Vedism was created before Jainism, which has a strong archeological presence in South India.

There is also speculation that Shaivism is much older and was merged in to Hinduism quite late, some what contemporaneous with the elimination of Brahma (Brahmism) as a deity to be worshipped.

Also, it is weird to talk about left/right wrt history. History is just history, not left or right. In the Indian context, left has come to mean the actual history by historians, while right implies pseudohistory of PN Oak, out of India hypotheses and various other fantasies.
I hate the attitude, the language and the fact that these people are running this world.

"Approved, you go ahead"

Just drains my energy and hope for the future.
I think they are considering even 5 written pages as a "book"?
it's just simply that cooking is a very basic skill.

it only requires that you do it.

you don't need to study hard to learn to cook.

The average person can learn to cook from someone who already can do it (usually it's your parents...) in a week. It usually happens at the age of 15. From then on it's only a matter of practicing and experimenting. It doesn't require a tutor, contrary to what TV shows like master chef wants to sell to you.

I learned how to cook looking at my mom doing it and then tried some recipe from this book series from the '60s that were very popular in many homes when I was a kid.

It's easier than learning how to bike or walk.

Do it!

Or the easy way.

1. Find a husband/wife.
2. Get some kids.
3. Get some more kids.
4. Invite some other families with lots of kids now and then.
5. Profit!
Yeah, dragging in docker is perhaps unfair, but Ruby apps suffer in a docker environment especially because of how much native code Ruby gems like to include (and how incredibly brittle they are under slightly different C++ compilers...)
The "success of Alpha Zero" was largery a PR stunt and the field has moved on long since then.
I interviewed with .tel around then, and declined an offer after it was clear their plans were wildly unrealistic.

The "identity metadata" bit had already been pushed by multiple registrars for years at that point, as it doesn't require the cooperation of a registry to allow it, and largely gotten abandoned because of lack of user interest.
Pretty sure the parent is referring to the obsolete 1FF variant, e.g. [1]. The intent back then was to use your personal SIM on a shared cellphone.

[1] https://www.telecomkhabar.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/10/C30...
Well the first eSIM devices where smartwatches(Gear S2) and they used the lower powered SOC and the core design was from previously used smartphone SOC. Physical SIM cards where hard to package into a smartwatch, hence the introduction of eSIM. Also smartwatches have much lower profit margin, hence the reason they use older process node and no one wanted spend money on integrating it into SOC when they can use an older smartphone SOC design.
I assume this is a wifi-enabled push notification and not a dishwasher with a sim and modem(!!)
As someone who never watched Gavin+Stacey, and cannot be held accountable for James Corden, I did, on the other hand recommend to my Megabank employer, way back in the 00s that we purchase Jira. I know we spent $$$$$ on it, and therefore helped Atlassian grow into what it is today.

Back then, Jira really was good and fast compared to everything else, which was pretty much bugzilla or a roll-your-own corporate ticket system. It was also the first thing we managed to get a bidirectional link from an issue into Subversion commit messages and back again, and it ticked all the boxes for... a development team.

Then came the "let's make it a generic issue tracker" approach, so yes, "as fleshed out or complete as it is" is indeed true. They've chased every niche that they can find that needs an issue tracker but making it so configurable.

It's just a shame it's a complete dumpster fire now. Slow. The search never returns what you're looking for (Confluence is worse if that's possible), and at some point and size, you're going to need a full time member of staff to look after... an issue tracker.

This feels like we're almost at one of those moments where Slack came along and reinvented all the instant messengers, and whatsapp/discord/whatever replaced skype (or arguably MS did that all by themselves). I know the apocryphal story for start ups is 'don't write a TODO list app, or an issue tracker', but there should be a better alternative. Youtrack always feels like it should get more traction, but perhaps Jetbrains are happy with it being an MVP for their own purposes.
Normal programmers call the sort() method in their language of choice.
Using LLM to translate the end result (text) into controls could be just a form of code generation, for which LLM are superb at.

I think a critical piece is being figured out as more and more such research emerges.
I have 100kkm on my 2016 BMW i3 with no issues.
Personally I'd consider it wordplay. I certainly didn't take offense at the title or feel misled, and it seems to me that the person I responded to didn't either. Maybe we should take everything so seriously?
Loud is a typist typing away ferociously on an IBM Model M.
Great observation. Are there categories of clickbait? I wonder what you'd call this one?
I would settle for a dishwasher that doesn't have some part break in under 5 years.

You can make sensible assumptions that result in engineering gains though. Step around the problems not through them.

For example I have learned that the first step to reliability is removing as many hashicorp products from your stack as possible though. Appears I am not the only one.

I think what the author is calling book maybe a manuscript?

I think they are counting even five written pages as a unique book?

So maybe essays are also being counted as books.
I recently replaced an 80MB hard drive in a 1991 computer with a Compact Flash card. The computer is now silent, with no moving parts at all.

It's much more enjoyable to use.
I find it fun that some of the stolen tokens appear to have been donated back to a Bitcoin advocate.
I have a mastodon user, and my own blog self-hosted using Jekyll (a static-content generator).

I followed this tutorial to set up my own "well-known-webfinger" for my domain, which works:
https://philna.sh/blog/2022/11/23/alias-your-mastodon-userna...

There's also a verification feature in a Mastodon user's profile, where you can put a custom html anchor (involving something like 'a rel="me"') in the footer of your website. Then you earn a checkmark, with green highlighting for your website when people look at your Mastodon profile.

I've done this, as well.
>Discord can be accessed by any client adhering to Discord standards, which are closed and proprietary.

It's worse. Official Twitter account:
>All 3rd party apps or client modifiers are against our ToS, and the use of them can result in your account being disabled. I don't recommend using them.

https://twitter.com/discord/status/1229357198918197248

In practice you can't have a client that has local chat history, local search, or just better information density on the screen, and simultaneously hope to not have your account nuked.
This is something I just can't feel. Maybe it's because I grew up with digital communications that did not have this "feature".

In more general sense, the way I see it, a message does not belong to the sender - the ownership is shared between the communicating parties, and neither one should get to unilaterally delete it for the other, much like when you send me a physical letter, I can't prevent you from making a copy of it prior to sending, but you also can't "unsend" it by taking it out of my mailbox or cupboard.

In more general sense still, I don't like things that can screw with people's sense of reality. At the very least, I hope "unsending" messages leaves a clear sign behind, because removing a message from someone's mailbox without leaving a trace is a stellar way to facilitate intentional or accidental gaslighting.

But I'm rambling again. The main thing that needs to be said:

> knowing that you can delete these messages if your relationship with them starts to deteriorate and they likely wouldn't have access to them

This is just a really bad case of a false sense of security. The other person can always make a screenshot. And if you're known to be a person that unsends their messages, or if this becomes a more common practice in general, then the other party will likely start making screenshots the moment they realize your relationship starts to deteriorate.

The messages still exist. For more serious cases, they can be dredged up from the backups by a court order, so you don't really get to unsend something and pretend it never happened.

It's not perfect, but I was surprised how easy it was to get it up and running.

It should/might be possible to make it produce a platform independent and cross compile it - but there's a bit of toolchain fuckery that I haven't yet looked into.

Graal supports LLVM IR both from the front-end and the back-end. Using that I think that it should be possible to use the frontend to produce a cross platform jar, and the backend to compile the whole thing back down to LLVM IR.

Then that can be used with LLVM's cross compiling capabilities to produce both Linux and Windows binaries.
But no one wants that. ChatGPT can already produce a good 500 word review of a TV, I can ask it to do that right now, but that's totally non-valuable.
Someone counted 3 or 4 -- I forget -- separate rounds of layoffs after Musk said Twitter was done with layoffs. That's many things, but "providing [sic] clarity" it ain't.

edit:

> Musk has done at least three rounds of layoffs since his promise to stop doing them in November. [1]

Can vouch for Miele dishwasher. The rollers on the racks are not comparable to any other brand. Sooo smooth.
Hey, would love to talk to you. Didn't see email on your profile, let me know how can I get in touch?
That world model is an emergent phenomenon arisen out of training, they are not explicitly trained a world model.
If you ask a question usually few, if any, people attempt to help. When you outright say something wrong, everyone will be telling you the exact solution to your problem
Some people are ok with mediocre, and that too is "fine", but you're right, Atlassian products are shite, they persist because of their ubiquity not because anyone I know or have ever worked with wants to use them.

Thankfully, they told industries like mine to go fuck ourselves when they discontinued the self-hosted options, and thanks in part, to COVID, there has been a lot of competition growing lately for developer tools like these.
Wow, posts like these kind of want me to sign up and become a customer. The honesty and openness is something I highly value and it's weird that this is so uncommon that you get surprised by reading stuff like this.

Seems like they have a good understanding what the problems are so they will most likely be solved sooner or later.

Good work and keep honesty as open as you've done so far :)
You don't have to wash the dishes first. Just rinse them under the tap before you put them into the dishwasher. I'm assuming you don't let the dishes pile up before you do that - if you do, you'll get dry dirty plates and 'ware and then yes you would essentially need to wash them by hand.
I always rinsed my plates before putting them into the dishwasher (when I had one), it took all of a few seconds. I hate the gunk piling up in the filter, and I definitely felt that the dishes didn't come out as clean as I wanted either, unless I hand-rinsed first.
Well explained. Came here to say this.
I've thought of this question a long time ago, but I never really put in the work to find the answer. What totally different domain or topic should I study that would indirectly make me a better programmer? better in general or an aspect of programming.
The room is 88km long by 1km wide. Never seen such a room. Pretty sure that's why GPT-3 is confused :D

> There is no downside to everything to be globally routable.

Yes there is. I sure as fuck don't want random people from the Internet to know how many devices and what kind populate my home LAN.
> what are the odds I fart in the office tomorrow?

Outlook not so good.
I got burned by this. I spent a lot of time researching and planning for this, only to discover there is no demand for solving this problem (yet?).
If you start threads at positions 0/25/50/75 inside a CSV, how do you know if the characters at 25, 50 & 75 are inside or outside quoted data values? You could start at a carriage return, but that could also be inside quoting.
huh?

what could op mean by 'The "success of Alpha Zero" was largery a PR stunt and the field has moved on long since then.'

The commenter is suggesting that the success of Alpha Zero was largely exaggerated for public relations purposes, and that advancements in the field have since progressed beyond it. This likely implies that the commenter considers Alpha Zero to be less significant than it was initially made out to be.

I still don't get the phrasing "PR stunt" in this context
I thought this was a fun journey through a tiny DIY tooling project, and I enjoyed it! I liked the detail level which is turned up quite high, taking care to explain many of the steps that are (typically) taken for granted by electronics hobbyists.

Still, this part stuck with me so I feel a need to comment:

The high level overview is that "serial", or UART (Universal Asynchronous Receive and Transmit) is a protocol for exchanging data between two systems over two independent wires, with each side able to transmit and receive simultaneously, without those two lines necessarily being synchronised (hence "Asynchronous" in the name).

I would argue that "asynchronous" here means that UART traffic is not explicitly clocked; there is no CLK signal to go along with the TX and RX lines for the data. This is of course because both sender and receiver have to already know and agree about the communication speed ("baud rate", which is actually just bits/second at this level) or they will get garbage.

This is in contrast to synchronous serial protocols like I2C and SPI which both have a clock signal.
Reddit is not a forum, HN almost is but not really... The community is

Having hierarchy exist at all changes the way it's used, just like having pointer arithmetic exist in a language at all changes it. You can't just not use it, other people will, and you'll attract more users that like it and fewer that hate it, etc.

I would guess hierarchy appeals to the people with more active minds always running many loosely connected tracks at once, but doesn't do much for everyone else.

Linear threads are a social convention as much as a tech feature. They emulate real life conversations, they encourage separate threads for anything off topic, or catch all randomness threads. They create a linear history you can read through and know the order of events, like a collective story.

Note that chat platforms, which is where the article says all the lore is now, are much more linear, even moreso than forums.

We also have "Flat is better than nested" in the zen of python.

The only thing I can see being beneficial is the ability to mix in random off topic banter and memes and make everything a bit more personal and less like stack overflow... But somehow, platforms with linear threads seem to have a stronger sense of community anyway.

Also, linear threads create a sense of responsibility with every post and topic. Everyone sees them, and the format allows for the users avatar to be prominently visible. It's not just a message to one commenter and the few who dig that deeply. That seems to discourage random low effort fart joke reposts, aside from a small number that one feels are quality enough to merit a post.

Plus, pagination is basically impossible without linear threads, or mostly linear threads. You can paginate top level stuff. But ultimately it's unstructured. Stuff will be buried in the 300th reply to the 12th reply to the 80th reply and you can't navigate if you don't have a bookmark or a spare hour.

You can't jump back about a week or so ish if you're new to a long running thread nobody could read all of.

And maybe most importantly, the target audience of many forums either doesn't know how to, or isn't interested in using special news reader settings. Minimalism and flexibility are themselves, features not everyone needs.
It can be made difficult if you want to keep your number. Years ago I worked for a startup mobile operator. The incumbents didn't like the new threat, and did all sorts of shenanigans to stop growth, things like paying people to object to new cell sites etc. One of these things was releasing ported numbers on the last possible day. So, while you had your new device and SIM card, you didn't yet have your old number. The old operators legally had 30 days to release/transfer the old number, and would wait for 29 days before doing so. You'd be surprised at the amount of contract cancellations this would cause, with the customer thinking it was the new operator being useless. The legislation ended up being changed to a more reasonable timeframe because of this anti-competitive behaviour.
Don’t forget the multiple severs multiple logins hassle, I wasn’t particularly bothered until I got to about the dozen mark at which point I started to resent any new slack I had to interact with, because even with a password manager it was a shitty interaction, because your likely matching on the slack TLD not the per slack unique FQDN, and given that owners can rename the slack and change that it’s not a bad thing to have the slack TLD be the login domain… anyway some people found this a problem immediately (likely not using password managers) and you can tell that it’s been an issue given that Slack really pushed the Magic Link logins pretty quickly, they obviously felt the pain.
AmongAI or something along that line will save you lots of explanation.
I couldn't figure out apples from oranges. Using Skymel, I can now tell apples from bananas from cranberries and so on from oranges. This is an amazing product and I recommend it to everyone getting confused with fruits.
