The bread example seems pretty bad too. There are tons of local bakeries that take more of an artisanal spin on things in my neck of the woods, and I bet all over the US. They'd have to be niche because it's not like they're going to compete with a national brand that has automated factories that crank bread out. That's who a corner store in the US is going to buy from.
It's not declarative. In Hawaii it's decided by a committee, if they decide you're the wrong race your ("homeland") land lease will be rejected. I'm unsure of how it works for property ownership in American Samoa, but it is probably similar. (In Hawaii racism only determines a fraction of the land however, in American Samoa I believe it is most the land).
It works for me, but if you want to verify it, you can compare to the Docs link in the footer of every github page.
Dedicated keys (F-keys or numpad keys) are harder to reach from homerow. There is limited number of such keys and usually that number is less then number of available functions/commands so not-enough-keys problem persists.

On the other hand, why overthink it?
Yes, and this is still the sole responsibility of OpenAI. They chose to include redis-py without warranties and are responsible for their own QA on any product built on it.
It seems like you're assuming that the only way for it to get better is more human-written code. Also, why would software quality get worse over time, as opposed to stagnating at worst? Attempting to use it for more complex applications?

There is already so far beyond enough data available online for an AI to be a super-human senior software engineer/architect/whatever. Because there's enough for the humans, and an AI can do it better in theory. It just needs to be a good enough model.

Barring the most extreme edge cases, it's never going to be worse than it is right now.
> The reason why Github is free for normal users

GitHub has always been free for normal users, even before MS bought them out. It is a pretty classic loss leader to get developers so comfortable with it in their personal work that they push their employers to pay for organization accounts.

Neither your extend nor extinguish meet the classic definition of either. They aren't changing the spec of git. Having a nice UX doesn't count as extinguish. Literally anyone can set up gitea or another git server. They might not get the cool toys like copilot, but that isn't git.

This is not EEE, this is watering down EEE to look not nearly as terrible as it actually was back in the day. If anything, it looks like a shill for MS trying to get people to forget what EEE actually was.
I had forgotten that I looked at this and came to the same conclusion as you. I’d happily discuss a remote SRE position but on-site is a non-starter for me, and most of SRE, if I am reading the room correctly.

Edit to add: they’re also paying in-line or below industry and the role description reads like a technical project manager not a SRE. I imagine people are banging down the door because of the brand but personally that’s a lot of red flags before I even submit an application.

Writing is undervalued by a lot of software engineers. It is the best medium for sharing information, live (thanks to collaborative documents), but also over time (documentation). An essential skill to develop.

I do believe however that fewer and fewer engineers will actually take time to develop that skill and will rely on ChatGPT and co in the future to generate most of the written content based on draft notes.

Blood Meridian: easy to describe truthfully, hard to do justice to in that description.

Easy description: A Western. The western. One of the great masterpiece novels. Set in the Texas-Mexico border area, circa 1850, beautifully lyrical writing, but is also an appallingly violent work, certainly the single most bloody book that I have ever read.

NPR hasn't even been close to neutral for years. I say that as someone who was a regular listener from high school until 2020, and nominally on their side of the political spectrum.

I feel like things really started to turn south after 2016 -- lots and lots of content about feelings and opinions presented during "news" times. But only for a super-narrow class of people, and never called out as opinion content. They did and do regularly mix editorial content with "news", and the line between each has been getting fuzzier with each passing year.

To be fair, the entire news media went crazy after 2016, but NPR was clearly on the left before, and went hard left after that. It's essentially propaganda now.
> Is the actual ‘intrinsic’ vector space uncomputable? Too slow to find?

OMG yes. It's also an unsolved problem, once can approximate it. I've written several non-parametric blind arbitrary dimension DR algorithms and been obsessed with the space most of my life. If you think O(n^2) feels slow, try O(n^3)...:) For more, read about mean shift clustering, or the new hot stuff: topological data analysis/bar codes/mapper algorithm.

Believe me I'd be happy to be wrong.

Thusfar there don't seem to be any generally available chips in the world. No one has benchmarked anything modern. We don't know what to expect yet, there are no known quantities, from what I can tell.

I'd forgotten about Horse Creek. It's certainly an interesting future board. I like that it has 10Gbe and some USB3. And PCIe 5.0! That does look modern. Not expecting a high value, a good price, but this could be a good starting place & we should learn!

I kind of though Intel had canceled all their RISC-V stuff, but this SiFive board is likely unaffected. However the rest of their once ambitious RISC-V foundry assistance program seems to have been recently killed off, that's why I (accidentally) ruled them out. https://www.theregister.com/2023/01/30/intel_ris_v_pathfinde...

I think the vast majority of the chips out there use ARMs CoreLink and Cache Connect Interface. There's a ton of platform, tuning & fabric that I still suspect is missing from most chipmaking orgs, that's going to require intense redevelopment & which will take lots of release iterations to become decent.

Ventana is a good mention. They don't seem to be shipping at the moment, don't seem to have anyone posting benchmarks on chips they have. Still to me an unknown quantity, but yeah totally as modern a process as we can expect, very exciting.
This is an interesting point. If the alternative to charging for a free service is to cancel it, which should one do? This of course is usually a false dichotomy. An alternative is to set it free for an exchange of goodwill and perceived loss of potential monetary value. But hey, that's what a true friendship and family entails. Professional dishonesty is pernicious. Hand back your PR degrees, people, if you want to make the world a better place.
Is that in the UK? I live in NY and I feel like inflation is something happening to other people. I guess I don't watch prices very closely, but things seems just as annoyingly expensive as they did 3-4 years ago without any really noticeable difference.

Challenger 300 is a business jet. This flight had 2 passengers, 2 crew, and original reporting is the flight encountered severe turbulence. But this report explicitly says no turbulence was encountered.

A computer system (EICAS) reports multiple errors including ‘AP STAB TRIM FAIL, and pilots use a 'PRI STAB TRIM FAIL’ checklist that includes turning the stabilizer trim switch to off. Immediately after that the plane pitch changes multiple times, with G loading range +4.2g to -2.2g.

I would be fine with that. What I hated it that they gave me 30 days, and not doing anything seemed to result in my images staying on their registry, but out of my control. So that my images would rot there but still be available, and I would have to tell my users that I moved to another registry which is not Docker? What the hell was that?

You'd definitely need a smart hub chip, yeah. But I don't think you need all the altmodes. No analog audio, for instance. Primarily Thunderbolt, and power.

I'm interested in the volume question; what makes USB-A and USB-C unable to both physically fit in the space no matter how creative you get?
Yes, I agree, it does - if it works for you. if it doesn’t, it doesn’t have a point. But if you read comments on the post you’ll see a lot of folks saying “when I hire I always look at their ability to write” …. This tells me they are writers, writing works for them, this article speaks to them, and they assume it speaks to everyone and anyone it doesn’t can’t possibly be as productive. They assume because it makes them more productive and other modalities don’t that’s the way the world works. This is an incredibly common fallacy, not made of ill will, but it causes all sorts of pain to those who don’t match the hiring managers modality. I know I’m off topic a bit but I think it’s apropos - A good manager looks at the modalities not covered by the team and hires to fill the gaps, but most managers hire to match the modalities they’re familiar with in their own career.
Overall, China is not "defecting" on trade. American companies have a very large presence in the Chinese market - moreso than Chinese companies in the American market.

Apple is the largest smartphone brand in China. GM is a major car brand in China. China has bought huge numbers of Boeing airplanes. I could go down the list, but you get the point.

Social media is a special case, because China has political censorship, which Facebook and Google were unwilling to go along with.
It is interesting to see everyone’s attempt at trying to make this happen. And of course there’s no silver bullet and everyone is going to have their own opinions on how to do this but when I have seen tools like GRPC work for a company’s like Google and Uber it seems to me that this is the right abstraction, at least when it comes to services communicating with each other. I like code that can stay around for a while, and in its time, Java was (and arguably still is) a great abstraction that lets someone plug things together. I want to give people that satisfying “snap” when things go together nicely and for what they build to stay around.
I once made a little status indicator in C#. It was just a little orb in the statusbar that would ping 8.8.8.8 and change color depending on how many packets were dropped.

Oh. I assumed you misremembered when Wait Wait started live audiences, since you said that ever since one of the Car Talk guys died and Wait Wait started having live audiences NPR hasn't had anything worth listening to.

But that Car Talk guy died in 2014, 14 years after Wait Wait started recording some shows in front of live audience, and 9 years after they started recording almost always in front of a live audience.

Your comment doesn't really make sense if those two events aren't in the same general timeframe so I had assumed you probably didn't realize how early Wait Wait was having live audiences.
Yeah but again, this is the fastest growing app in history and it uses way more compute than your standard webapp, and basically delivers all functionality from a single service that handles that load. I can see why there would be some growing pains.
It already has wider attention span than humans, if anything it'll dominate at precisely more complex input very quickly with evolution counted in weeks not millions of years.

I dev in svelte/kit full time. I’ve built a ton of projects with it after doing corporate react stuff for a couple years. I’m so tired of hearing people say “well the ecosystem for react is stronger because of how many libraries there are.”

No, that’s not a good sign for a framework. If you need an enormous ecosystem of helpers to get anything done, that’s a detriment. Svelte doesn’t have libraries because it doesn’t need them. Kit comes with tons of out of the box features, and there’s nothing I can’t achieve with either:

1. My own JavaScript code.
2. An NPM package IF need be.

Seriously. Svelte has everything react has, with a much better developer experience. It’s the evolution of vanilla web, and even if I got canned tomorrow, I would search until I found another job with either stack freedom or svelte as it’s framework.
There's probably some relationship there, yes.

The history of the Long 19th Century (1789--1914) strongly suggests this, and it's a theme I'd noted in other histories of the period, e.g., John R. Gillis, The Development of European Society, 1770-1870. Notably chapter 10, "Europe's Cultural Revolution", concerning literacy, freedom of the press, schooling, changing roles of intellectuals, and so on.

I've noted in earlier HN comments that the 19th century saw a tremendous increase in the productivity of the press and a corresponding fall in the cost of printed materials. Hand-operated wooden "wine press" printing might reach 120 impressions or so per hour. An electrically-powered rotary web offset-lithographic press could reach 1 million impressions per hour --- that's a four-order-of-magnitude increase. See: <https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=21679745>

If you look at the history of Britain, there's a near-continuous devolution of power to an ever-growing and expansive set of the population. Initially singular monarchs, then a nobility (Magna Carta), then a growing bourgeois class (~15th -- 18th centuries or so), then the working class (19th century) and women, arguably jews (Disraeli). In the past fifty years, a growing, if not monotonic, inclusion of former colonial subjects and people, to the point that London's mayor and in fact some nobility are no longer exclusively white.

There are multiple factors at play, though literacy all but certainly plays some role.

As soon as one company gets away with leveraging namespaces to extort money the flood gates will open and everyone is going to have their hand out asking you to pay just to maintain a consistent identity across platforms.

It's time to make sure you've got trademarks on your namespaces IMO (if possible). At least that gives the upside of being able to make legal demands to companies that don't do enough to prevent impersonation and namespace squatting.

That list of market caps is comparable to Google, and EU fragmentation as an excuse is grasping at straws - not only is that an example of the absurdist over-regulation in the EU (why are they all so excited about banning trade with each other?) but Google actually makes 30% of its revenue from the EU so it isn't like fragmentation is stopping Google from success.

It isn't like the EU is short of great coders, they just regulate their way to oblivion. With good ideas like the one in the article, I cheerfully add. They are making it transparent that anyone with a choice should go work for a US company.

Geez, 25 years ago I was being boggled by how sophisticated was the code generated by the C compiler we shipped at SGI.

Of course for early MIPS there were little things like, don't put a jump in the last word of a 4K page... :-(
