You fail to see that the criticism comes from rooting for Firefox and Mozilla through all these years and seeing them focus on everything other than their main product.

I'm willingly to bet HN has a much higher percentage of Firefox users than the internet average, and we are all tired and disappointed in Mozilla's current leadership because they've failed to innovate and keep the browser competitive.
I have a lot of respect for people who manage to educate their kids themselves.

I couldn't do it. My kids don't listen to me when I try to explain something, but they do listen to their teachers in school.

I'm happy I don't have to spend all day with my kids. I love them a lot, and I think I'm doing a decent job as a parent, but I think input from other people is also worth a lot -- especially from people who went to university to become teachers.
For anyone unfamiliar who just wants to see something running, then assuming the DotNet Core SDK has been installed (see https://dotnet.microsoft.com/en-us/download) the following creates a folder, a solution, a minimal web API (4 lines of code), and starts it running.

mkdir MyApp && cd MyApp

dotnet new sln -n MyApp && dotnet new web -n Api

dotnet sln add ./Api/Api.csproj && dotnet run --project Api

Many devs would want more features out of the box so they'd replace "web" in the "dotnet new" command accordingly (use "dotnet new list" to see the options, eg mvc, grpc, or react). But this is the minimalist option just to 'get something running'.

Edit: For background, new sln creates a new DotNet Solution and new web creates a new (minimal) C# web Project. Then sln add tells the new solution that the new project is part of it.
I'm in my 20s, I'm a bit sad to think of the possibility that I've missed the boat of human ingenuity. It's not like if AI puts me out of work I'll be free to create works of art -- GPT-12 will do that much better than me, too.

Maybe this sounds naive to you, but if I'm not good for anything, what am I supposed to be doing? How should I see myself?
That doesn’t make it true. LLMs don’t know how they were trained. It’s just making that story up.

It may be true, but the fact that the model said that is meaningless.
Manual mid-range jobs were the first that were automated, due to the industrial revolution, and later during the robotics revolution.

They've been automated for so long and so thoroughly that you didn't even think of them as 'having been automated away'.

Look at any commercial kitchen, any farm, inside any factory. Look at the grocery store, and its self-checkout machines. Look at parking attendants and toll booths. Look at the labour-saving devices employed at any construction site. Look at the demise of cottage industries - which used to be the economic driver of productive output, and are now limited to kitschy crafts on Etsy. Look at the cargo-container shipping yard, where a hundred dock-workers are now do the work that used to take tens of thousands. Look at the answering machine, and the utter insanity that is the modern automated customer support directory.

What hasn't been automated are jobs like janitors - where the work that they do is highly varied, and requires manipulation of different tools, in different spaces. We can automate a floor-mopping machine, or a vaccum cleaner, but we can't (yet) build a robot that will vaccum, and water the plants, and scrub a toilet, and clean up vomit, and refill the paper towel dispenser, all in one package.
I once took an overnight bus trip from LA to Las Vegas. The bus must have left LA around 4am. We stopped at Eddie World somewhere around 6. It was a real experience waking up and being greeted by that place. It felt like an acid trip. I don't remember any games that I controlled with my dick, though.

Job listing platform Indeed lays off 2,200 employees
> wall street traders

When I started working in FinTech at a big bank, our Managing Director mentioned that he was told:

"In 2 years, there will no longer be the job of 'trader'"

This quote was from 2005 and he was sharing it with us in 2007.

While, yes, there are a LOT less traders than there used to be, it is certainly not zero.
I'd start by looking at relevant subreddits.

For AI to actually write up research, it would first need the tools to actually do research (ignoring the cognitive capacity requirements that everyone focuses on.)
Is there anything you think they should learn about even if they don't find it interesting?
I've joked it's like the lecture scene in "Real Genius": https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wB1X4o-MV6o

The problem is, there is value in:
A) Generating content by bot
B) Generating summaries by bot

It's just that the "lossiness" of each conversion step is going to be worrisome when it comes to the accuracy of information being transmitted. I suppose you can make the same argument when it's real humans in the chain.

However, my fear is that we get into this self-feedback loop of bot-written articles that are wrong in some non-obvious way being fed back into knowledge databases for AIs, which in turn are used to generate articles about the given topic, which in turn are used in summaries, etc.

I think traditionally referring back to primary sources was a way of avoiding this game of telephone, but I worry that even "primary sources" are going to start being AI-cowritten by default.
Contrary point - technology enables people with disabilities to match or even exceed their peers?

No one talks about the lift attendants! «The person who operated the lifts (elevators) in old shopping houses or buildings was called an "elevator operator" or "lift attendant." Their primary responsibility was to manually control the elevator, ensuring that it stopped accurately at each floor and that passengers were transported safely. They would also assist passengers by opening and closing the elevator doors and providing information about the different floors or departments within the building.»

This logic is fundamentally faulty. Suppose, for example, that you're on "the front side" of a bell curve. As you go up the bell curve, until you near the peak, you can look behind you and think "Look at this, we've been going up for 100 years, and we're still going up!" But, if/when you do near the peak, it actually can turn quite drastically, and quickly.

The primary issue for me is the rate at which technological progress is moving is making it ever more difficult for humans to adjust. I mean, suppose that in 10 years we have fully capable self driving cars. I'm not necessarily saying that's going to happen (in fact I actually think it won't), but I do think it will happen at some point. Right now, truck driver is the most common job in that vast majority of US states. When self driving cars do eventually come, all of those jobs will disappear pretty quickly. Do you honestly think someone who has been driving a truck for 20 years will be able to "retrain" quickly?

And it's certainly not just truck drivers. Count me as one of the people who are astonished by ChatGPT's programming abilities. While I don't believe it's "there yet", I was pretty amazed that I was able to ask ChatGPT to program something for me, and it did quite well but the code had a subtle bug, and then when I pointed out the bug ChatGPT was able to fix it itself. And this wasn't even on the GPT-4 version. This stuff only gets better with time.
I believe 37Signals is replacing their Capistrano-based deploy for Basecamp with MSRK. It seems they're keeping their k8s deploy setup for Hey. (Just what I'm inferring from the first two paragraphs here: https://world.hey.com/dhh/introducing-mrsk-9330a267)

The question seems to be, will those manual jobs be valued and economically rewarded, or will automation increasingly concentrate wealth into smaller and smaller groups while manual work will be low paying with low social mobility.
> textContent seem to strip tags out of your string, so it's not really strict.

Your mental model is a little off here. The character data returned will be coming from an internal representation of a node hierarchy - there are no tags, just a collection of nodes. The text data will be assembled from all text nodes in that collection and concatenated. Nothing is being stripped.

I'd guess the difference in original pre-spec features was innerText taking an internal representation that had been pre-processed for rendering before being stored in memory.

> innerText strictly preserves the HTML semantics of your string, textContent doesn't preserve anything.

It's the opposite. textContent preserves the semantics of your string in HTML source. innerText returns an intermediate representation of how you would expect your string to be handled by the rendering pipeline.

> Back then when those things were new, there was absolutely no way to store a string in an element and get it back later. Neither of those do this.

Not sure what you mean by this?

Desktop Office apps are still available, fully supported, and fully functional. Office 2021 is the latest buy-once release, but Microsoft 365 subscribers get all the desktop apps with their subscription (and they get continuous updates). The web apps are separate and have their limitations. Microsoft 365 subscribers get to choose between the two. Non-subscribers get only the web version with some features removed.

Yes, rain shower timing is Dark Sky’s greatest utility.

I just found it surprising that ‘rain will turn to ice starting at 7pm’ was not also a usecase Dark Sky gave as much attention to.

I’m a big fan of https://weathergraph.app since the Pebble days. It’s the same concept, but if I’m honest better designed than Weather Strip.
Yeah that definition makes sense. It's indeed the probability you would get at least 0.01" of rain if we assume you are equally likely to be located anywhere in the forecast area.

But for deciding for "getting your jacket", the expected amount of rainfall seems much more relevant. Basically, you don't need a jacket if the rainfall is very unlikely, or weak, or short. In all those cases the expected amount will be low.
You select the project you run at any given moment. You can also select Archiveteam's Choice, which is usually the most urgent or the one with the most IPs needed, but if you do want to select it yourself, you pick the project.
Luckily It was surpassed by merrysky. The integration with rainviewer does It for me.

Blend2D – Fast 2D vector graphics library
I regret not buying a Sony when I got my Canon 6D. Almost all of the lenses I use now are old/vintage and it sucks not having image stabilization for the extra 2 stops and a digital viewfinder to properly focus the lens. I almost resold my 6D many times in the past but I got too attached to it to ever pull the trigger.
That's a good idea in retrospect but could only have been possible if the current state was pre-planned. In actual fact the two properties were competing, with each side hoping the other would die. And of course changing names later is not a very viable path.
Meaning in Large Language Models: Form vs. Function
I understand that the market is mysterious and confusing, but it has always struck me as bizarre that our society is structured in such a way that automating a task away has ended up as a bad thing. The thing you were doing has been done, therefor society as a whole at least wouldn’t be harmed by just paying you (Your old salary - amortized yearly cost of the machine) to do nothing.
>Businesses are not welfare programs, they are profit oriented.

So, we change that by requiring corporations that want to continue indemnifying their owners from damanges become workfare programs and less profit oriented. The current regime sure aint working, and I think it is fair to expect businesses that benefit from public infrastructure have some skin in the societal game as well.
> Nuclear is extremely price competitive if you actually force carbon producing power generation methods to pay to clean up the pollution they emit. Which is something we require of nuclear but for some reason not any other.

Price competitive with fossil fuels. Still 10x the cost of renewables. Please do implement a carbon price though.

Also they don't clean up. There are unremediated uranium mines, nuke plants, mills, and plutonium separation facilities all over the world that are just left for the public to deal with while any money set aside is embezzeled or is only a fraction of what is needed for cleanup.

> This is both a solved problem and also a non-problem. Advanced nuclear reactor designs have effectively zero waste.

Closed fuel cycles are not a thing.

It's never happened. It's not on the drawing board. No series program is trying. The one reactor that allegedly could have a breeding ratio over one is used in a plutonium shell game and achieves nothing other than a small boost in fuel economy for some other reactors and to keep some weapons grade plutonium ready.

Reprocessing does nothing other than spew fission products everywhere.
Apple has no problem raising prices. Phones and Macs are more expensive than ever. My last Macbook cost almost 5000€. Yet they are getting more popular than ever.

They are going to continue making healthy profits with their hardware.

I think their focus on services is about hedging their bets, but I think it's a distraction. Ultimately Apple is a hardware company, and that's where they will continue making all their money.
Same for https://weathergraph.app
It’s just internet points
Neat! (Re: you and parent)

At their core, most hardware evolutions seem like optimizing compute:memory:storage:functionality vs the (changing) current state of the art/economy.

When Ethernet was first released, compute was expensive. Made sense to centralize compute (in routers) and make everything else dumb-tolerant.

Now, compute is cheap and plentiful at network-calculating scales and throughout expectations are very high, so it makes sense to burn compute (including in clients) to simplify routing hardware.
I'm trying to understand their issue though, are they locked out of doing time tested solutions because of patents or something? My real question is are they just incompetent or are they not able to use known solutions.
When it comes to litigation, the parties will and resources to engage an aggressive legal adversary is critical aspect of assessing legal dynamics in a matter. For example, even in cases for which there is no direct legal leverage, party might be exposed to patent, copyright, etc infringement if the other party discovers they have a valid existing claim for which the other party is dependent on and access to it is revocable.

Beyond that, it’s unclear to me if there is code that is part of LLaMa that’s not subject to copyright claims, if such code was authored by humans. Someone violating the terms, downloading the code, and reposting it, even without the terms, would be irrelevant to the rights of the party on future use by a party if they notified they’re infringing; otherwise, able copyright notices and software licenses would be meaningless, because you could simple launder stolen property, which is obviously not the case. If you’re positive there no copyrighted materials used in deploying LLaMa, then obviously there’s no copyright claim or breach of contract. To be clear, I agree human author per the US Copyright Office is at present required to claim copyrights.

Lastly, my core claim is it’s easy to state something is legal, it’s completely different story to take on legal liabilities related to defending those rights. I for one would have no interest in litigation with Facebook regardless of the legal merits of my position. The OP based on there ignoring the topic, which I raised, nor for that matter is it likely anyone that read this thread is likely to take on the burden of publicly disputing if LLaMa is free from legal claims for commercial use.

That really just makes it sound like Archive Team is a separate entity to provide plausible deniability for an organization that's already in another major lawsuit for copyright infringement.

Archive Team hasn't really done much yet - all they've done is an ArchiveBot job, which isn't getting anywhere because of DPReview's ratelimits, and some discovery scrapes. This is probably a different issue.
Note that this article is really talking about the general case, but in practice a lot of techniques can work if you have narrower requirements or if you have more control over what you run.

For example, in 1.1.4 the author talks about why containers are not a solution giving three distinct reasons. But if we change our perspective a little bit, none of the three reasons are blocking. The first is that it's not easy; but `docker run` or `podman run` is easy. Even systemd units start with separate control groups to allow you to terminate everything at once. The second reason was about gdb; when was the last time you used gdb in production? If you are using gdb someone is interactively using the computer and can be relied upon to clean up processes manually. The third reason is that containers are more heavyweight, but there's no need to make every subprocess a separate container: if multiple processes should be managed as a single unit (including the case when we'd want to terminate a whole group of processes) they should run in the same container.

So with a slight change of perspective we find the problem easily solved. It had trade offs but it works well enough in practice that only very few purists have a problem with it. Not to diss on the author—I think this type of perfectionist thinking is illuminating in terms of API design—but pragmatically it's a solved problem.

>Also, the quality could go down, but may more people could be educated, resulting in a large net gain.

That's an aggregate gain, why are you comparing this to per capita gains.

>Even if the quality of education is reduced, it's not nearly zero. Partly because of education (and health, freedom, political stability, etc.) we are far more productive than illiterate neolithic peasants farmers.

Worker earns more real value than neolithic farmer, but I don't think anyone was saying they weren't.

>Education isn't the only source of skills, of course. There is training, and also people are far better informed now, for example, due the the Internet (or disinformed).

There was also training in the 1960s and 1970s. The median worker likely has more optionality to become an above median worker now, although whether the median worker themselves has better training today than in the past decades is debatable.

>Lots of people saying something doesn't at all make it true; in fact, it should make you skeptical that they are following a mis/disinformation herd and don't know what they are saying.

This is true, but if everyone is saying US high schools produce dogshit, the world is not going to be inclined to pay a reputational premium to US workers graduating from high school. Perception is part of value, and in markets indeed the buyers believing something has value creates real positive demand. This can be seen elsewhere i.e. felons get depressed wages, even if their conviction was bogus or not something that effects their work. The very fact our education is seen as going downhill creates lower value/quality for our workers -- so as you can see what I said was highly relevant.
And yet it's trivially true. Value accrues with connectivity, which is
number of the edges in a fully connected graph being n(n-1)/2, which

If you're in the US, weekly shopping is very common because it is such a chore to get to and from grocery stores. They tend to be very large and relatively far away from where people live, so it's quite an inconvenience to shop there.
