As Peter Zeihan puts it:

When you have kids on the farm, they are free labor, and you have as many as you can.
If you move into the city, they become noisy, expensive hobbies, and people aren't stupid, they have fewer of them.
Sure, no doubt, a video can sometimes make things much clearer. A great example (to me) is this [1] for example. I had understood from the old illustrations that I was supposed to imagine something like that, but video makes it incredibly clear.

The actual net impact of screens in classrooms, however, appears to me to be extremely negative, and I think learning outcomes bear that out.

I like the idea of securitykeys, but having to drop 100€ for a key (since in my opinion you are playing with fire if you don't buy a backup) feels like excessive and then having to worry that I remember to take my securitykey with me everywhere...

Yeah, yeah, security vs. convenience is always the issue, but so far I've just selected convenience.
Of course, Hersh's hypothesis was getting a bit too much attention, have to deflect quickly...
>Their expertise was not in React either, yet somehow it didn’t prevent them from using it on this project.

Yes, because React is still front-end. He expanded his front-end skills with a new front-end skill.

Sounds like job functon, role, and area of experise don't matter, and everybody should do anything in your mind ("they're programmers, so whether they do front-end, server side, or program embedded software for artificial hearts, they should just jump to it and like it too").

>Turns out in this field we can learn quickly and don’t have to be razor sharp focused in what we are able to do.

Turns out people have specific preferences for the areas they like to work at, and have specific job functions they were hired for (say, "front-end engineer" or "data scientist") and whether they can learn another kind of role is moot.

They might if they want to, or if they have to because they need the money. But it's a totally disfunctional organization one that has them do something they weren't hired too, just because "it's all programming, surely you can learn it".

If you hire a systems programmer you shouldn't expect them to do UI or data science, just because your company didn't bother to have someone else for that. If you do have that need, ask for a "fullstack" engineer, or be upfront that you want people to wear many hats.

Programmers are not just "do whatever/replacable cogs" they have specific preferences, skills and expertise, and career goals. Actually that's true for any profession, not just programmers.

Use LSP feature that reveals what TS thinks is the type of the identifier under the cursor (I have it bound to Shift+K in Neovim). If not right, annotate (or better go back and type properly whatever means you obtained that value).
At first, maybe, but then human to human conversation will drift to gated communities with strong verification, and on the wider net it will be like the blogging revolution all over again as people exchange pre-seeded forums for ideas more so than the ideas themselves, and compose them with other constellations of thought using the ecosystem of AI tools built around same.
> You wouldn't be able to tell the difference between a pine tree from 100,000 years ago to one today

Perhaps. Certainly if you put me in front of the two trees I wouldn't be able to tell you which was which. But that's a different question than whether I can tell the difference. If you put me in front of a pine and a fir I couldn't tell you which was which, but it wouldn't be at all difficult to tell the difference.

It might also be relevant that the last time I had any significant contact with any conifer was quite a few years ago.

> it's called a continuous ecosystem because it remains very similar. Selective pressure would be very similar

This is a myth. Specifically, it's the myth of the "living fossil". It's a popular concept, but not a scientific one.

The majority of people can't tell the difference between a coral snake and a king snake. That's not evidence that coral snakes are similar to king snakes.

> unlike the rare case of certain populations changing significantly when facing a very different situation

Not relevant. It also isn't difficult to tell the difference between two populations that were divided by a barrier 100 years ago. Things drift.

>"The conservative and republican parties are mocking parodies of their former selves. Back in the 80s there were serious, major economic and social problems that desperately needed fixing and economic liberalism had the answers. Nowadays that's just not even vaguely controversial, instead the focus of the right has shifted towards damaging reactionary dog whistle issues like culture wars and blind nationalism. "

The conservatives of the 80's had a problem to solve, stagflation, inefficient socialism, big state. Neo-liberalism solved those problems, but created new ones.

The conservatives today have another problem to solve, mass immigration, rampant crime, loss of sovereignty and ability to reform to foreign bureaucracy, dependency on foreign manufacturing, etc.

Part of these problems are residues of the same economic neo-liberalism that was enacted in the 80s. Reagans and Thatcher's neo-liberalism saved society from the socialist dystopia, but over time it has thrown society in a neo-liberalist dystopian path that few people like, beside the corporate elites.

The conservatives have moved on to new, real problems. You seem stuck in the past.
Executing the option realizes the gain!

It's just the it realizes it into an illiquid asset whos price is imaginary nonsense. The problem of imaginary prices is one of the reasons that we don't tax unrealized gains, but it can still arise when the gain is realized if its realized into something illiquid.
That's a good point! I don't know, but I always have that small fear of messing up my own costs
Well, in extraordinary circumstances it may be warranted… Help out a colleague, then both leave ASAP on good terms after victorious delivery.
I've read this a lot, but honestly is this really the future of security? Keep a Yubikey in your wallet, another in a bank safe, bury another in the family's farm... It doesn't scale at all. And in the end, it's all social-dependent, because one can always cry out in a Hacker News post or in a viral Twitter thread and you'll get access to your account back. But if things happened the way security experts seem to want, losing your two Yubikeys means you should just start life from scratch.

I'd rather we find a way to actually involve real-world security instead of pretending the digital world doesn't depend on it.
Not to me. If they wanted to be a frontend dev, billed themselves as such and didn't want to take on backend duties, then they did their fair share by speccing the API and providing that. They have no direct obligation to work on the backend.
Thanks! Link updated to my own tweet. I don't know why my post got removed. It's no diff from previous gcloud horror stories.
It really depends on what you want to do with the yubikeys. If you're just using the PGP functionality (like SSH-ing and signing git commits) all you have to do is upload the same private (sub)keys to the two yubikeys and they'll be functionally the same*. I wouldn't know about other (more advanced) features though.

If you follow DrDuh's guide, you should be able to set up the yubikeys in the way I described. I also created some provisioning scripts that automate the whole process which you should be able to use to provision the PGP applet:

https://github.com/santiago-mooser/yubikey-provisioning-scri...

Make sure to enable the export of the private key though!
No one said a single specific thing about the website until I started complaining that people were ignoring my posts. Now after a few people have piled on to burying my comment, there are some specific complaints. Thanks for that.

Also people were completely ignoring the posts before there were any examples on the home page.. and the one example of the SuperFruit thing.. people saw that and everyone decided the whole was going to be totally worthless and unsalvageable for anything and so not worth commenting? That one at least seems like it could work out fine especially with nice images of fruit.. fruit is so delicious.

Anyway, I added the web page examples because I was seeing almost everyone try to build complicated applications even though I specifically said simple static sites. But it should definitely be useful for one-off (simple) utilities that are internal to a project and don't need to look really fancy.

Also I have a basic templating system in there, just haven't had time to finish some stuff related to using it. I still doubt that people are really completely turned off of the concept because the default sites that pop out of ChatGPT output are not great. But its something specific I can improve with the templates so thanks for that.

And I know you were trying to be disrespectful or something but at least I have something I can work with. I was getting nothing. Not even hot air. That is why I was complaining and commenting all over about the site. Because I just could not accept that it was not worth a single keystroke from any member of HN. Because even if those websites that come out with minimal prompting don't look great, it doesn't mean its not a really promising or useful site.
> $350 versus $0.50!

It's not as impressive as you make it sound. The real value of the Maps API is in 1) routing and 2) local business details. These are both hard for anybody else to provide, so Google prices them accordingly. The price for the tiles is just an extension to the overall pricing.
I don't have the access, but I definitely can talk with the owners. That's a good idea!

Why would a proven ability to raise millions in business capital (and, apparently, to subsequently hemorrhage it) make someone a better credit risk for their home mortgage?

Their financial history includes borrowing lots of money, taking a big risk, and losing a lot of that money. Not necessarily bad, but it’s reality. Just because that activity happened under a different legal entity doesn’t make it irrelevant. The mortgage applicants own nearly all of the company that is losing tons of cash. It is an important part of their financial history.
> The rest by design is to be lent out, that's how banks offer loans, mortgages etc.

When banks lend out money, they don't lend out existing deposits, they create new (debt-based) money from nothing and this new money is fractionally backed by deposits.

With 10% fractional reserves, if they have $100 in deposits, they can lend out $1000, thereby creating $900 of new money from nothing.
Show HN: Infinite Porno – AI Episodes of Podcast My Dad Wrote a Porno
After seeing UnlimitedSteam and Nothing, Forever I thought it would be fun to use ChatGPT to generate a never-ending livestream of the podcast My Dad Wrote a Porno, which ended last December.

It's uncanny how closely it can recreate Rocky Flintstone's particular brand of erotica: "His tongue explored her mouth with urgency, like a raccoon raiding a bin for scraps"

There's plenty of grifting on every side these days. Let's just ignore that.

But the core of the issue is a question about whether scientists have the right to settle political disputes about what we should do.

We argue that they do not. Science tries to tell us what is, but political will decides what ought to be done.

We argued that the government has no moral right to confine us to our homes, regardless of the circumstances. - this was a decision for individuals.

In our society, we treat scientists (or people who pose as scientists) as truth tellers ("trust the science") - an all-knowing priestly caste. However, this never was a scientific question. There's no science experiment that says the police should have harrassed people for sunbathing in the park. It was a political decision. We're not ruled by scientists - as we have seen, for very good reason.

Now of course, there are widespread problems in science: the reproducibility crisis, financial corruption, social bias, overselling speculative findings, overselling speculative models, mid-wit interpretations etc. - and for these reasons, a person who adopts a "non-scientific" frame often has superior predictive and interpretive powers to someone who "trusts the science". This is why the "conspiracy theorists" keep getting proven right over and over.

The lab leak theory was always extremely credible, but it was dismissed because it was a way to own the "basket of deplorables", and because it called into question the competance of the medical establishment.

There are workloads where a high-end PC outclasses a Mac for the same money (think top-end GPU or lots of memory, Apple doesn't have the first and wants a king sized markup for the second).

For most entry level stuff performance is not that important so that's not the metric where customers focus on (price is). A desktop all-in-one from e.g. Lenovo starts at 600 euro's, the cheapest iMac starts at 1500. A reasonable Windows laptop starts at around 400 euro's while MacBook air starts at 1000 euro's.
It's not that the Apple machines aren't better, it's just that lots of folks here don't want to pay the entry fee.

Same reason most people here don't drive BMWs but cheaper cars.
That and the nature of the workers’ relationships to the employer are the meaningful differences.
hi!

can you tell me what was the problem? All content is open on the website
>a backup

>convenience

I always wonder how often someone gets into a crisis because their Yubikey breaks while they're at, say, a conference (ie. far away from the backup, be it another key, or access to recover codes). I recon they can just break when plugged into a laptop that takes a dive.
`indexes[haystack.indexOf(needle)] = true`

There's a valid example of code that would be broken (`indexOf` returns `-1` as "not found"). Is it a good way of solving whatever the author was trying to do? Probably not, especially now that sets exist. Is it code you might conceivably find on hunreds of sites across the past decades of the world wide web? You bet.

Yes, we could introduce another "use strict". But we only just got rid of the one via ESM (which enforces strict mode). That was a one-off hacky solution to a hard problem coming off the end of a failed major version release of the language (look up ECMAScript 4 if you get a chance). We don't want to see a repeat of that.

Most people live near water and in flood plains. Water is essential to life and essential to growing food, plus waterways get used for transport.

I used to get all up in arms about "Why! Do people live There! When it keeps flooding???" Then I looked at the data etc.

We could stand to do a better job of working with the environment and building things more able to survive known issues for specific places. I'm always interested in clues to how we can do this better, but there is no place on Earth without some kind of natural disaster that routinely threatens the area.

It's a case of pick your poison.
Not only that, but seniority is also often used as a bargaining chip.

Having the title in your CV means something for future employers, so employees want it and companies give it willy-nilly as a very cheap perk.

No need to say that this causes more problems than it solves.

>But what we do is not the same as medicine

Doesn't mean it's "whatever need there is and whatever I ask you to do, and forget the role you applied for, to and was hired to do".

>Nothing stops us from learning any new technical thing we care to.

Nothing should stop us from focusing on the kind of programming layer/expertise we want to do, either, be it systems, backend, front-end, data science,

If people WANT to change layer/role, they can do it themselves. And hopefully at a better company, where they can focus on their desired role, and aren't asked to also write front-end code when they were hired as systems engineers, or perhaps mop the floor because "you surely can learn that too, it's not like moping the floor is like medicine".
What prevented you from helping him?

Guy already said, manager wouldn't assign other work.

I have worked in similar. Some workplaces are highly political.

In one case I was on contract, 3 months ahead, suggested to help in other areas, and even offered to "pause billing" and take personal time off. Yes, the contract allowed for it.

Nope. Needed me there every day, doing nothing. Otherwise, upper management would know the project was slipping?!

Some workplaces are highly broken.

You're not missing the point, though maybe it won't go as badly for a older company like GM. I got to witness this failed strategy first hand at AOL around 2010.

The people who opted into the VSP were the ones who could easily find another job, and were happy to take the money. Some of them even came right back in a consulting role after a 2 month cooling off period. The people who never even considered the offer were the low performers who knew they were getting paid far more than they could hope to command on the open job market.

GM already has a list of employees they have considered laying off to cut costs. They're hopeful that the people who volunteer are mostly on this list. Now GM can refuse to accept volunteers who they consider critical to business operations. Those people should immediately demand large pay raises.

That being said, this is pretty shitty severance package, especially since it's only being offered to people with 5 years or more of service. Unless you know you can find another job quickly why would you take a 5-12 months of pay with no extra benefits? (COBRA is about the most expensive way I can imagine to pay for private health insurance for many people.)

I suspect the worst case scenario for GM is they are about to have a ton of experienced and competent employees with important institutional knowledge walk out the door, and find themselves left with a bunch of new hires that aren't really sure how to keep the business operating at corporate.

Google Maps isn’t charging for raw bandwidth/storage. They spend massive amounts on R&D to make Maps the most useful and competitive global mapping solution. This comes at a cost, which is completely different than using community-maintained partially-complete OSM maps.
