The latency graph in the article you post actually shows sporadic but substantial lag of around 100% (12ms to 25+ ms) with the wireless dongle. The average of all the lag might be low, but the lag when it does occur seems quite high.

But in the real world, there can be even more lag.

I've tested a bunch of different high-end wireless mice that purport to have super-low wireless lag, and they all exhibit lag in my apartment.

Not constant lag, but sporadic occasional lag of like 600ms or more, every once in a while. For both clicking the mouse, or just moving the cursor.

Because I've seen it on Mac, Windows, and Linux, and with fairly pricey mice from Logitech, Corsair, Razer, and others, I think the reason is probably radio interference. I live in a dense apartment block in Tokyo, and also have kids with a bunch of wireless crap of their own.

Whatever it is, the only way I can have a mouse that doesn't ever lag is to connect it with a cable. I don't even play games, but the every-once-in-a-while lag is annoying enough when coding and web browsing that I now only buy mice that support wireless USB, Bluetooth, and USB-C wired connection.
You don't build a nuclear power plant for in ten years though, you build and plan it for the next 100. If there's better sources once it's been built, that's fine, they can be operated alongside the nuclear power plant - or the plant can be decomissioned, it wouldn't be the first one that gets decomissioned even before being put into production.
Public access systems used to be a bit more common, with perhaps the best example being sdf.lonestar.org (unix, iirc, not linux). In those days, with running Unix-like systems on the desktop (which Linux was more of at the time than it is lately what with some..."upgrades") being difficult due to hardware incompatibility (particularly winmodems), servers like sdf were a way to expose people who may otherwise not have any access to a unix environment. They were a useful collaboration platform for coding. Sure, you have chat optionality (with tools like the the "talk" program), but also bulletin boards, and file storage space (a few mb at the time) to collaborate in, and also typically a web host directory (sdf.lonestar.org/~user). Paid users could get things like background processes, which were particularly popular for running eggdrop bots or BNC servers.

These days, I do wonder a bit about what the use case really is. Just about all of this functionality exists either in web based form, or, if nothing else, you can literally spin up a free AWS VPS to accomplish the basics (or just, you know, plug in a raspberry pi). But, the barrier to access is low, and if you're a kid just dabbling into different operating systems and programming and all you have at home is a windows system, it's a lot quicker to fire up SSH than it is even to download and spin up a VM to see what the fuss is about. You may not stay long, but it may be the difference between trying something and not.

I'm having a really hard time reconciling these two statements from TFA:

> I've set small projects for my newer engineers to get their teeth stuck into, something they will find rewarding, challenging, and fun.

> But now I have to reconcile that with the thought that I could "just" ask ChatGPT to do it instead

The only way I can find to read that is that the author tends to assign tasks that are mostly writing boilerplate code to junior devs, which, sure, is a perfectly good use of otherwise less-productive junior engineers. It sure as hell isn't something I would agree is "rewarding, challenging, and fun" -- and I can't imagine that the author actually agrees with his own sentiment, either. If GPT can generate it then it wasn't the kind of task that a junior dev would have profited from taking (not much to learn from just tweaking boilerplate!).

Punting work like that to juniors rather than shielding them from it is...pretty much the definition of a bad engineering manager in my book. If nothing else, it's a great way to burn out your junior devs early and/or keep them from learning how to grow into more capable engineers who can handle work that couldn't be done by an LLM.
Oh hi thanks for doing this ! So I actually had dug out my one (Galaxy NX GN-120) that we had a few clients use the other day for my startup and did a little video of it here : https://www.instagram.com/reel/CpUPz0zJ-4z/?utm_source=ig_we...

I was lamenting about the development stopping on them - in our very unique use case I'd wished they'd kept that line going. There's still nothing like taking photos through a real sensor, with real glass and then having the convenience of Android with our app behind it.

I've pre-ordered an Alice Camera, I fear it won't live up to the NX somehow...

the older inverters tended to die after 10 years. But more recent ones are supposedly better, but they don't exist long enough to really produce statistics.

Is it 12 years? 15? 20? no one knows. But since most warranties are 10 years, its safe to assume they easily get there, or it would become too expensive for the manufacturer

Right, because we're going to believe Wikipedia + a recount of events that don't even include any insights into the actual plans of e.g. the British empire at the time.

Think about why the British even introduced Opium to China and who controlled most of the production. Do you really believe they weren't plotting anything here?

> If they were seeking to invade then European possessions in China would have been significantly greater than Hong Kong given the weakness of the Qing dynasty over the course of the 19th century

There are lots of ways to invade. It doesn't have to be via military might. It can be via the church, opium as we're discussing here or other factors before the actual fight.

> but in a similar fashion to today's US hegemony they were not always primarily motivated by conquest and annexation

Are we rewriting history here? What happened to Vietnam, Iraq, etc etc? More like the media tries to paint it another way. You're free to not believe in it. I doubt it's all for the GDP.

There exists a plethora of real world coding challenges that are beyond typical boilerplate code that ChatGPT has in my experience been able to produce entirely acceptable working solutions for.

The skill of the engineering manager is indeed finding tasks that continue to be rewarding, challenging, fun as the developer progresses.
It's probably actually gotten easier than it was 10 years ago when I got into some telnet and SSH bbs's (using older platforms that are still developed or have had adapted layers to repurpose them).

Now that web fora are mostly replaced by the likes of Reddit, this seems less an issue.

Knowledge != intelligence. So many people tend to conveniently forget this fact these days. You know how addition works, this fact alone does not make you intelligent.

Intelligence = ability to solve novel problems. Requires out-of-the-box thinking. ChatGPT cannot learn and solve problems it has never encountered before, thus it is not intelligent. Also, training != learning.
Ask HN: What was the website which compiled a person's all media appearences?
Was submitted to HN around two years ago, potentially a 'Show HN' post. This website catalogued at least interviews a person has appeared in, podcast appearances, articles written by and tweets (likely scraped from their profile; I block the Twitter domains at the DNS level). At least +200 votes, quite certainly.

From what I recall, seemingly was mostly focused on people working on various fields of science and research. I (only) remember that John Carmack (the co-founder of id Software, later at Oculus VR) had a page there.

I had the website bookmarked, but when accessing not-so-long-time after the HN submission all links appeared to be redirecting to the frontpage and I got the impression that their project had morphed into something else entirely or was in the process of winding down. But I may very well have been mistaken.

The keys are used to adjust media volume and mute/unmute (and in hot weather, the left/right keys adjust the speed of a pair of 120mm PC fans that blow air over the keyboard).
Doesn't the clockspeed of the RAM and the distance to the CPU matter?
Neat, always nice to see another server available. Now, for your next trick, tie it in with FIDONet or DOVENet (yea, they're still operating, even if most echoes are a ghost town). Or of course, door games (dosemu tends to be the layer of choice to get the classics running on a *nix system).

Synchronet is the big player still in this space, but I have seen some folks running some of the oldschool options such as WWIV or Citadel (never mind the AmigaNet crowd who does everything to keep the old silicon in service). Cool to see some variety popping up to keep things fresh!

Currently finishing my PhD in robotics on task and motion planning (with a heavy focus on (multi-agent) motion planning), expecting graduation towards the end of the year. I contributed to boost and OMPL, and I have experience in controls and estimation as well. Previously wrote real-time capable MPC-contollers, high-performance numerical integration methods, and developed novel path planning methods during my PhD.

I own SS Arctis 7 (2 gen) and can't really recommend them. 4 out 5 at most. Despite claiming increased ear space they still hurt my ears after prolonged sessions, and rubber headband is also not comfortable over long time. Another minor thing is that low charge notification is raised very late and while it is on it can't be suspended and very annoying. Dull sound, if understand correctly it's for bigger bass response, but for me bass is irrelevant.
Controls and features are nice though. Microfon and it's controls are very good.
Personally I would not buy Arctis series again, not because it is bad, but because it is not a compelling offer for this price.
I don't, unfortunately. I haven't had the need to try it yet, but I would experiment with it if I was exploring a new codebase.

There are some proprietary services that interface against GPT-3/4[1], though if privacy is a concern, it's getting increasingly easier to self-host LLMs. It seems like every day there's a new open source development that makes these tools more accessible. Just in the last few weeks we've seen llama.cpp, Alpaca, Dalai... New projects are appearing so frequently that it's hard to keep up. Their token size and quality is not yet at the GPT-4 level, so you can't analyze entire codebases yet, but they'd still be useful for smaller chunks of code. And at this pace we can expect great improvements soon.

I agree word play is always an issue. Keep in mind we start over every generation. We keep training on new data.

I've also thought about human development and what I find interesting is that an anatomical modern human is not automatically capable of forming modern civilization (see isolated tribes still living and general hunter gatherer history in general). There is so, so much that depends on emergent factors like some sort of global or societal intelligence. I'm thinking AI has the same characteristics. It's not about the individuals, it's about "society".

Race-based laws are nonsense, because the concept of "race" itself is a pseudoscientific nonsense. There's no objective way to tell a "race" of many (or maybe even most?) people. Take President Obama for example. What race was he?

UsabilityHub | Engineering | Remote (Australia or New Zealand) | Full-time, 9 day fortnight, or 4 day week | https://usabilityhub.com/careers

Hey HN, Nick here, CTO and co-founder at UsabilityHub.

We're looking to hire a couple of engineers, with some flexibility on seniority level. We're a remote first and cross functional team, and UsabilityHub is a bootstrapped and successful business that's been focused on sustainable growth over the last ten years.

The team is small, close knit, and has some really excellent engineers and designers. The focus of these roles is building new customer facing functionality - we're effectively building three new products this year so there's lots of greenfields work to do.

The big pieces of our tech stack are Ruby, Rails, Typescript, Postgres. We're not fussy if you haven't used some or any of those, but prefer T-shaped developers that are keen and able to pick new things up quickly and contribute throughout the stack.

For the three roles we have open, starting compensation ranges from $120k AUD to $160k AUD (or NZD equivalents) plus ESOP and profit share. We review this every six months and adjust upwards based on performance in the role.

There's lots more info about these specific roles on our careers page at https://usabilityhub.com/careers. Feel free to reach out to me directly with any questions (email is in profile).
