> What I said is that the financial system did what it promised to do for those people who were affected by the bank failures.

Wait, there is a law that says that when a bank fails, the government has to step in and bail them out? Wrong. Otherwise, all banks would get bailed out.

> Does it offer the same coverage as I can get through chargebacks on a credit card? Does it cover me if I accidentally send money to the wrong destination?

No. You're asking for a credit card product. I don't believe that crypto has to be a credit card to be effective and useful. A good analogy is Zelle, which allows you to transfer money, but they don't bail you out. I'll tell you... even with bank wires, you send money... it is gone. Our finance department got phished last year. They didn't get the money back.

I'm curious when the last time you accidentally sent money to the wrong destination though. Is that really a common use case?
This corroborates the point. You almost never travel far, so EVs are great for your use case. For those of us who do travel more regularly, EVs are very inconvenient.

I find it fascinating that describing an automated learning process is so much easier than manually teaching. Once trained, looking inside a model to gather information about how it comes up with an answer to a question is somewhat similar to doing exactly that with a real brain.

Same with MUI. Again, it's much harder to migrate off MUI because it literally binds you to a very specific way to structure your components and other components inside those components.

Hell, you can't even move from MUI version X to MUI version X+1 without half of your site breaking.

You want to move away from Tailwind to something else? Bring in that something else and use it alongside while you replace your components written with Tailwind classes with that something else. Because Tailwind is literally just CSS.

Prompt enginering is a domain where the supply will outstrip the demand, so the salary pricing will equalize itself incredibly quickly. Prompt engineering is also not a proprietary skill and it's very easy to teach someone non-ML or even nontechnical how to do it given a few examples, speaking from experience.

Unfortunately the rise of these types of jobs provides a strong incentive for casual users of LLMs to not share their prompts anymore. (hence why I'm open sourcing all my nonwork usage of ChatGPT and its prompts: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=35110998 )

And in the 90's, what people would do is to do the prototype with VB and expect to write the app in something else. But then the executives would see it, think it's 80% done because the UI was done, and push forward with it in VB. Or it would start out as a small, niche app in VB and then grow in scope.

Either way, what would start off rationally would end up in chaos. Part of that was the language, and Microsoft is to blame there; the fix, C#, came too late. But the other, larger part was the failure of component development. And that's what people miss and that's what still remains to be solved.
So much weird assumptions.

First of all, there is no such thing as an average user. Also, it is not relevant to the discussion. I care about what I want in a system, not what some imaginary users want.

Now, we could stop there but I will play: Electron solves a real problem for developers. Writing cross-platform GUI apps is a real pain. Yes, there are native solution but ensuring the user has the exact same experience on every platform tends to be orders of magnitude more costly compare to web based solutions. (That or they are exotic options like Lazarus with Free Pascal that have a much lower Developer pool.) Many apps wouldn't even have Linux ports if they were not written on Electron.

Now, why do users accept them? Why are they not out-competed by native solution? Oh, honey. Why do I have Microsoft Teams installed? Because I like it? Hell, no! Because I need it for work. Why do I have the Discord Client? Because it is great? Nah, I long for good old IRC but Discord it there the people currently are. Did I think the Epic Games launcher is such an great app? Nah, they bought me with offering free games.

Users tolerate shitty software for many reasons, mostly because they have to. It does not follow from that, that they don't mind software being shitty.
That's fine, but we should compare apples with apples: actual-learning SAT prep with actual-learning extracurriculars, or cram-school SAT prep with cram-school extracurriculars.

I agree with you that this sort of mission of self-actualization for kids is a laudable goal. I personally hated school and spent 12-18 blowing off boring coursework to indulge my curiosity with computers. In that ideal world, I'd say it's a tossup between whether reading/math or exploratory hobbies are more important (probably depends on the person). But in the world we live in, where kids are burdened with the reality of practical concerns, especially the ones for whom college is supposed to be their ticket to social advancement — in other words, in the world where it's a given that kids are going to be doing meaningless hoop-jumping — the SAT tends to be, I think, a much more reasonable hoop to jump through than faking extracurriculars and "holistic" merit. Like 'rayiner says, a summer of studying, versus four years of starting fake clubs, doing various competitions, trips to third world countries, volunteer work, collecting awards across various hobbies, and whatever else is on the checklist now (these were the things in my day).

I'm surprised nobody else echoes this argument, is the US really that car dependant?

Good 'ol UART.

I was thinking of maybe doing a write-up of how I reverse engineered my Fireplace controller's UART using a sniffer cable and two USB-to-UART dongles.

I've documented my findings here: https://bonaparte.readthedocs.io/en/latest/system_informatio...
But I thought maybe a write-up of how to approach a project like this would be beneficial for beginners, like I was when I started this project a few months ago.

I'd love to hear feedback from people more knowledgeable than me on this. I was struggling especially with finding and using the accurate terminology to describe things like packet (or is it message?) formats and such.
Wow, Hacker News is a truly amazing community, if someone already tried the job and built a opinion that it's not a good job to have, even though the niche is very new.

Tell me more about how it was to work as a "prompt engineer"/"ai whisperer" and why you eventually quit? Was it a bit repetitive? Also, if you could say, where in the world was the company you worked for located? Did you like prompt engineering as a hobby before, got the job and then didn't like it, or why didn't it work out in the end?

> They've converged because we think they're nice.

Here is the trap. We think they are nice because globalisation works on a more profound level. The "visible" level of globalisation are the consumer products. What's also transmitted are certain intellectual ideas and schools of thought, certain aesthetics and forms of art. For example, the attempts to explain the economy on an individual behavioural and psychological basis are pretty much a post-WW2 Western thing and now it has pervaded the world. Every non-English self-help book reads like a similar US book. In a way, these ideas transform the local cultures and now everybody thinks like the West and wants the same things as the West.
> That's kinda what the distros ARE

For the base system and libraries, yes. But why should the distro maintainers be burdened with additional work for every possible enduser application out there? If I write a GTK app and want to make it available for Ubuntu/Debian users through official repositories, I need to make sure it gets added to the official package list, and every time I make a new release, someone else somewhere else has to do additional work just to repackage the application so it is available in the repository.

Maybe a far-fetched analogy, but imagine if browser maintainers have to perform additional work every time a new website launches before it is available to its users.

Also, in this system, the application developer has a lot of extra work for making the application run and build against older versions of its dependencies. If I want to make my app available for Ubuntu 22.04 LTS which has libadwaita 1.1, I cannot use any of the new widgets in libadwaita 1.2 (released 6 months ago) or 1.3 (released earlier this month). I can use those widgets but I'll have to write ifdefs and provide fallback behavior/widgets when building/running against these older versions. I will also have to manually track the various distro versions to detect when I can remove the fallbacks from my codebase.

This is what Flatpak is for. Using Flatpak I can target a specific GNOME SDK version and make use of all the new code immediately, without having to write fallbacks. The downside is that when a user downloads my application through Flathub or another Flatpak repository, it might have to download the additional libraries as well, but they will be the correct versions and they won't be downloaded if that SDK is already available due to other Flatpak applications already installed.

Essentially, something like Flatpak is a middle-ground solution that trades of some disk space for the benefit of less work for distro maintainers (so they can focus on core packages) and less work for application developers (that can use more recent dependency versions and don't have to worry about the versions in other distro's)

I think code-generation is a red herring. I'm more interested in things like:

- Explanation/research ("how does this work?")

- Code analysis ("tell me if you think you see any bugs, refactoring suggestions, etc in this sprawling legacy codebase")

Except cows... Don't speak? That's kind of the whole point. We can't apply human value judgements to other species that work in a fundamentally different way.

It's safe to say no carnivore/omnivore denies that animals suffer. And I'd bet most of us are not happy that they do. It's just not a deal breaker, seeing as it's outweighed by many benefits.

100%. People forget managers are humans too.

They were likely an IC at some point and now have to answer to higher up power who are under more acute PnL stress hence the pressure flows down to them.

The trick with manager is to release some of that pressure as it goes down to their directs, this might mean taking it head on directly and shielding directs from it or just re-directing it back up the chain.

Just like any position, it's not hard to find X, but hard to find good X'ers. Same is true for developers, there are way more developers than demanded, but what's hard is finding good developers, not just any developer.

RE>> Anyone can write a loop or an if statement. <-- Respectfully disagree.

I had an intern a few years ago -- recent college grad in CompSci. I tried my best to lightly mentor him. One day I was talking about the diff between a compiled language and scripting, mentioned REPL. To demonstrate REPL, I opened up both the windows CMD prompt and the Chrome Developer tools. I mentioned that with a REPL like the Chrome Tools, it's trivial to do FizzBuzz in JavaScript. I explained the problem to him and asked him to take a stab at writing it. This wasn't an interview question, just a discussion and a mentoring opportunity.

He couldn't. What he said next blew me away, coming from a CompSci graduate "Oh, loops, yeah, I never quite understood those. Like, for loops and while loops - I never really got that". I asked if he meant recursion, cause that can be tricky. No - he really could not write a for loop in any language. I wasn't going to shame him and I walked him through it, but I was disappoint. ಠ_ಠ

[Edit: Spelling]

Edit 2...Before I start claiming that CompSci programs are letting students down, I have to consider that the claim that he had a BS in CompSci may have not been accurate. I did not check or verify his transcript. The more I reflect on it, I think he may have had a degree is Web Design and we got pressured to add him to our Software Eng. team because the hiring manager (and his actual mentor outside of work) passed him off as a "Web Developer". Now that I think about it... that seems more likely....Edit 3: It was driving me crazy so I dug up the resume in my inbox ... it was def CompSci, listing C++, C#, Java, and SQL as technologies and data structures and algorithms as courses taken... I'm not sure what to think...
No gas stations, huge in cold climates. Instant acceleration which is physically impossible in ICE cars. Quite and no exhaust, so you can run them in a garage for preheating/cooling. Electricity is cheaper than gas. Less maintenance.

A lot of the advantages are dependant on a garage and mostly using the car to get around town and not road trips. If those don't apply to you then yea ICE cars are probably better.

Prioritization of public transit over EVs is a policy issue which is facilitated at the voting booth. We need fewer EV subsidies (or targeted to more important EV markets) and greater public investment in transit. I'm not saying that you shouldn't buy a new EV in favor of taking your city's crappy bus service and walking a mile in the rain. I'm saying that your city should invest in making the bus a better choice than your car so that you want to use it; society should set up the incentives accordingly.

As the saying goes, public transit succeeds not when the poor can afford the bus, but when the wealthy choose the bus.
