Yeah man, that part always kills me. I'm stuck back at the office now, but every manager and a lot of the engineers are in meetings all day. It's not feasible for them to drive across town to get physically into the same room as all the other meeting attendees. So I'm surrounded by people who are dialing into various meetings from their desks and talking loudly all day.

Meanwhile, my wife is dealing with health issues, but can't speak English very well. So I have to talk to various doctors' offices and insurance companies all the time, and every time I make a call I feel the need to hoof it across the building so I'm not blasting medical details into the cube farm. The quiet rooms are usually all full of people in meetings, so I have to hide in the mail room or walk a couple of blocks to my car.

I'm done with this shit.. I think I'm going to hop ship after my next $100k RSU vesting, this kind of work is just too undignified for me

Thanks for checking it out, this means a lot. Note about the pricing tiers: you can upgrade between packages as your startup grows.
It’s a good thing OpenAI is protecting us all by charging a lot for it and not releasing any specifics.

Truly, the real heroes are OpenAI!
Police who brutally beat an innocent person like this aren't just not doing their job, they are doing the exact opposite of their job. Even if they brutally beat a criminal, they are going far beyond incompetence. What these cops did wasn't just incompetence or a mistake, it was corruption and pure evil. Why the FUCK are we protecting these criminals? Why do we want this as a society?

Giving the police qualified immunity in situations like this is unlicensed freedom for them to not only be incompetent, but be corrupt and destroy the foundations of what our society is supposed to be about. Are we really okay with allowing fucking cops to ruthlessly beat people for no reason and think that's just part of their job?
Do you have any evidence for this claim? Just because people didn’t start agriculture doesn’t mean they weren’t as smart as people today. Hell, 300000 years is nothing from an evolutionary perspective, they were for all practical purposes genetically identical.

It was just most probably a nurture thing — there was not as much accumulated knowledge to “bootstrap” a more advanced civilization (or perhaps, no will to do so. Why change when your system works just fine?). It’s not like Einstein could have achieved much back then without “standing on the shoulder of giants” before him.
Why do people say "overpaid" so often?

Google is massively profitable. That money has to go somewhere. Why not the workers?
Intellectual property isn't.
I doubt it's the end of tech growth long term but one of the main reasons that these companies are laying people off isn't that they need to (even if some departments are overstaffed), it's that the market is demanding it and they care about their share price. Once the market decides that it's fine to hire like crazy and grow again, they'll do huge rounds of hiring.
The Better NPM Audit
It's not "infantilizing" to note that a 21-year-old can't know as much as a 31-year-old can

It's basic physics

(a 31-year-old may not know as much as a 21-year-old, but that's not [usually] because they can't know more)
In the end, a few decades on, managers still have no idea how to make software project delivery reliable and quantifiable.

And too many of these organizations still act like they think throwing more engineers at a problem makes things go faster.

And the $$ and prestige of working in tech still attracts too many people whose primary interest is not just in getting things done, but being seen doing it, and, as, you say, improving their status.

The tide is going out and we're seeing who isn't wearing bathing suits. But it might be the whole beach.

... Still though the primary thing driving investment in tech and software is the same thing that drove investment in industrialized cotton mills or Ford Model T assembly lines: mechanization makes profits, and... computerized mechanization is the most powerful cost reducing system ever known to mankind.
I always find it surreal when this super science fiction tech is possible in our time but basic stuff like this can't be implemented correctly.
So we should expect zero lawsuits against police officers to have been won at trial or settled last year, right?

What you meant is probably more complex and needs more context than you are giving credit to.

You probably have a very specific image of what people ate a century ago, but I wouldn't expect that you assumed rice, beans and fish, with as much fat as affordable. For better or worse, there's little "you know what I mean" culture common ground on HN I think.

> The bottom line is: if you couldn't grow it/make it/process it a hundred years ago you most likely don't want to ingest that every day

That's kind of an amish approach to food. I'd prefer to benefit from better food than a century ago (we have a ton of better crops, better processed products, tastier varieties etc .), but at least it's a pretty clear position you have.
> I've rarely had a negative experience with it

We all bury bad memories. Feels like yesterday TypeScript couldn’t resolve a package because I set “moduleResolution: node16”

Oh wait, that’s still happening, because a dependency does not use the correct package.json exports setup.
No. The kinetic energy of the car/bike/… doesn't tell you anything because you don't know how much energy gets transferred to the victim until you have applied momentum conservation to the elastic/inelastic problem. So, the right approach would be (in this order): Calculate momenta, calculate how much momentum gets transferred to the victim via momentum conservation, deduce the resulting change (increase) in kinetic energy of the victim. This kinetic energy will be converted into heat (= damage/injuries) in one way or another, so it's the relevant physical quantity for our considerations.

Finally, in case of an inelastic problem (likely with cars, not so likely with bikes or people), you also need to consider the energy loss during momentum transfer. Once again, this energy will become heat (= do damage), so it adds to the aforementioned increase in kinetic energy when we're interested in how much damage will be done.
"are still homes with" is doing a lot of work in that sentence; Cable is by far the most common home internet and plans typically top out around 30mbit. Some places still have DSL as the only option and that's single-digit mbit uploads.

Amazon compensates your first year (the low % vesting year) with an entirely equivalent amount in full cash. Which is arguably better -- so I don't get your point.
I used to commute by bike myself (and would still if logistics allowed), so you should probably not presume.

Half of gitea's contributors are from Europe. Wait until you learn how much "Chinese" code is in the Linux kernel these days.

This anti-Chinese hysteria is hilarious to watch from the sidelines, honestly. A few months ago there was a comment on HN by some American whose company was rewriting their frontend when they learned that antd (a React component toolkit) was developed by a Chinese company.

I wish Vercel (or Zeit at the time) never abandoned their original model of running arbitrary Docker containers at the edge. I understand the desire to focus on one platform, but you could implement a lot more interesting use cases with arbitrary serverless containers, especially if the build process was as smooth and integrated with GitHub as it is for JS (although arguably a big reason for that smoothness is the focus on one platform).

Has OpenAI said anything (in their TOS/etc) about who owns the copyright/ip on the code that it generates?
I know it’s a legal minefield of a question, just curious if they have said “we won’t sue you if you copy/paste this code in your app” publically or anything.

I don't think the US has nearly enough court capacity to hear the sheer amount of cases this decision would give precedent to.
Qualified immunity is just part of the problem, and it is only relevant to civil suits. While it would be nice for the victim to get some sort of legal vindication and compensation, what we really need is for this gang of violent criminals to go to prison for a long time. The larger problem is that sovereign immunity is being extended to people who happen to work for the government, rather than only applying to the government itself. This convention needs to be completely eliminated.

We shouldn't be, but the majority of this Supreme Court does in fact want this, yes. They have been systematically expanding qualified immunity over the last few years
> motion sickness is a major barrier

I recall a story from a colleague who knew some folks who had worked on the game System Shock (this was in the early nineties). System shock was one of the first games that had an engine that implemented real 3D physics; so when you threw a grenade, it would describe a real parabola. And you can lean around a corner and sneak a peak without exposing your entire body to enemy fire, and when you did that, the 1st person shooter rendering would realistically reflect that. They had an experimental version of the game that was hooked to a virtual reality headset at the time, and gave up on it because, as one of them joked, it was "virtual reality, real nausea".

This was 30 years ago, and things haven't improved since then.
Dirty Laundry
Don Henley

[Verse 1]
I make my livin' off the evenin' news
Just give me somethin', somethin' I can use
People love it when you lose
They love dirty laundry

[Verse 2]
Well, I coulda' been an actor, but I wound up here
I just have to look good, I don't have to be clear
Come and whisper in my ear
Give us dirty laundry
[Chorus]
Kick 'em when they're up
Kick 'em when they're down
Kick 'em when they're up
Kick 'em when they're down
Kick 'em when they're up
Kick 'em when they're down
Kick 'em when they're up
Kick 'em all around

[Verse 3]
We got the bubble-headed bleached-blonde, comes on at five
She can tell you 'bout the plane crash with a gleam in her eye
It's interesting when people die
Give us dirty laundry

[Verse 4]
Can we film the operation? Is the head dead yet?
You know, the boys in the newsroom got a running bet
Get the widow on the set!
We need dirty laundry

[Verse 5]
You don't really need to find out what's goin' on
You don't really wanna know just how far it's gone
Just leave well enough alone
Eat your dirty laundry

[Chorus]
Kick 'em when they're up
Kick 'em when they're down
Kick 'em when they're up
Kick 'em when they're down
Kick 'em when they're up
Kick 'em when they're down
Kick 'em when they're stiff
Kick 'em all around

[Post-Chorus]
(Kick 'em when they're up
Kick 'em when they're down
Kick 'em when they're up
Kick 'em when they're down
Kick 'em when they're up
Kick 'em when they're down
Kick 'em when they're stiff
Kick 'em all around)

[Verse 6]
Dirty little secrets, dirty little lies
We got our dirty little fingers in everybody's pie
We love to cut you down to size
We love dirty laundry
[Verse 7]
We can do "The Innuendo", we can dance and sing
When it's said and done, we haven't told you a thing
We all know that crap is king
Give us dirty laundry!

[Outro]

People discover vulns all the time. A vuln is not theatre. You patch the vuln and you are secure. A vlun does not security theatre make.

A fundamental design flaw in the security model or system which renders it irrelevant, on the other hand, is a problem. Are you saying there’s a fundamental flaw in Apple’s implementation of secure boot, code signatures, and sandboxing that makes it irrelevant?
the actual figure is way lower than it should be. there are, however police officers dumb enough and violent enough to meet the ridiculously high bar that is required.

They are doing their job, this is their job. The mistake here was who they did it to not what they did.

> Why do we want this as a society?

This is a very very good question to spend some time with. Understand just how routine this sort of activity is for police, understand that it is not a mistake or anomaly. Why do we want this? It's an interesting question.
They should not only not have immunity, they should face increase penalties for any crimes committed in or off the clock.
Ransomware groups come to mind.
Initial kinetic energy is not the right physical quantity to look at. Most of that kinetic energy will remain in the car/bike/…, i.e. it doesn't tell you much about how much energy will get transferred to the victim – it merely gives you a bound from above.

You're not alone. I program for fun, mostly, and I'm completely uninterested in these talking computers. I'm a little wistful that my hobby has gone from a viable career path to just a hobby, but I believe the talking computers systems will write better software, so I can't be too sad, eh?

Now that the machines can think and talk, the only real problem left (to a first approximation) is selection of the options they generate, as describe sixty years ago by Engelbart in his classic, "Augmenting Human Intellect: A Conceptual Framework" https://dougengelbart.org/pubs/augment-3906.html

I'm going to repeat that because it's as important as it is counter-intuitive: the machines will think better than we can, so all [solvable] problems are solved except the problem of intelligence itself: "What is the best option?"
It's only safer on a per mile basis. Per hour and per trip, driving is more dangerous.

This is hilarious
Hmm, I don't agree. I see Deno's package.json support as a pragmatic solution to interact with the rest of the world, but for my current use case (command line tools, switching over from Python) the npm registry is quite irrelevant, but the ability to directly import via URL is a real killer feature (also compared to Python).

I made it up. Any nonlocality breaks relativity, this doesn't break it further. You can still say the same thing - it's okay because why not. Or you mean it will be a paradox if they receive a message in the past? I guess it can be prevented if the entangled photon doesn't interfere with itself.
I think the idea is similar to the "ex post facto" provision of the constitution. In "ex post facto", you can't be convicted for something if, when you did it, it was legal. The idea here is that police can't be sued for something if, when they did it, there was no court ruling explicitly saying "that's a violation of constitutional rights". So a court could say, "Yes, this court is now declaring what those officers did to be unconstitutional. But there was no clear court case at that time, so they can't be sued unless they do it again."

Which leads to really bizzare outcomes, like this instance -- or an instance where police just outright stole stuff from a guy [1]. A court had never ruled that stealing from citizens was unconstitutional, so he couldn't sue them for it.

Because now you have to write this manually for every package. And how do you deal with dependencies of that package that also need to be fetched from `your-cdn`?

Oh, perhaps write them in a JSON form in some sort of package.json and read them from there perhaps?
One group kills and maims five people a day (drivers) and your problem is with the group that doesn’t. In fact, you’ll fight tooth and nail to defend the driving that put a man in hospital by choosing not to look for hazards.

This isn’t “more aggressively than I like,” this is a man put in hospital because a driver chose to ignore the UK official guidance on how to drive. Official guidance, I might add, that you must learn as part of your driving course.

Attitudes like that are exactly my point.
Ads are bad for many reasons, but one thing that does unmentioned is that Google's actual payouts have declined enormously since 2010 or so. Advertisers ramping up the number of ads you see are doing so because Google got greedy.

> It is really tempting when on a bicycle to think of yourself as being able to pick and choose rules to follow, magically switching from “more like a car” to “more like a pedestrian” as needed.

As someone who walks a lot, I find this very frustrating, as a lot of cyclists think it's okay to ride on the sidewalk at road speeds. My ideal world would have the urban core be restricted to pedestrians only. Or at the very least speed restricted to 5 mph. Cyclists could stop, lock up the bike and walk. Or walk the bike.
