Virtually all controllers share similar technology and one of the features for most of the console manufacturers is that they will break the moment a piece of lint gets stuck between the stick and the sensor. Given how difficult it is to access the sensor in order to fix the issue, and also how open-air the design of these sticks are, I've always assumed that this is on purpose.

I've started using the Power A controllers with the back paddles on PC (or a Razer Wolverine when I was being fancy and wanted LEDs), and I'm much happier now. The only problem I've had with Power A's controllers is that the USB cable has a plastic housing that is a bit oddly shaped and thus it's nigh-impossible to find a replacement, so I'm still stuck with a scenario that I have to RMA a replacement from time to time because they won't sell the cord by itself.
I’d say less scared than 14 months ago.

Putin and Co. really hasn’t done much for Russia or it’s people lately.

They looked stronger when they were a less aggressive bully and were poisoning people.
If you want daily updates on normal tasks, you're just wasting a bunch of people's time. Under ordinary circumstances, that stuff cannot possibly be actionable, and tracking data that's not actionable is just wankery. I don't mean keeping people directly working on the tasks in-the-loop with one another and surfacing blockers, which shouldn't need formal process beyond at most a five-minute daily standup, I mean up-the-chain status updates. Wanting to watch the little Jiras move through the flow chart on a daily basis is just PMs and managers wishing they were playing Starcraft or something instead of doing work.

Given that, if your tasks are taking long enough that any but very-rare outliers span more than a couple status updates (which shouldn't be needed more than about weekly, under normal circumstances) then your tasks are too big or you've got some serious process issues making everything take far longer than it should.

I remember taking apart an Xbox with RRoD to find that all the solders had disintegrated. Reflowing may have helped but I just sold it to GameStop instead
And sometimes it is.
So, in my example, we were having 2-3x/week 2-hour, full dev staff meetings.. without product in the room. He was a very busy man and could only grace us with his presence for 30 min every 2 weeks to basically sort the tickets we had spent 12 hours putting together and decide which he actually cared about.

Much could be accomplished more efficiently by getting product, management, and 1-2 seniors in a room for 30min to actually decide what/if plans have changed & cascade the changes accordingly.

99 times out of 100, the plan didn't change because something raised from the bottom, but because management has changed direction or users have asked for something new. Why subject 95% of the team to hour long monologues?
do you have any examples of the flowcharts used for asm writing? i also recall someone using an excel spreadsheet when writing for itanium.
A Line Of Business app. With questionable specs. Where inputs are cross dependant and need to be filtered. Some fields being foreign keys to other models.
What is really funny is that eventually our understanding circled back and now the rest mass of particles is attributed to their interaction with the Higgs field, by effectively the same basic mechanism that Poincare-Lorentz-Abraham invented.
But Gleam is statically typed, you see, and very restrictively. In such languages, typeclasses/interfaces/extensible records/(void*)-passing and -casting shenanigans are the things that traditionally provide the virtual/dynamic dispatch to the programmers.

Oxygen wasn't invented.
The issue is that the Joy-Cons joystick has what appears to be a design defect that, regardless of how much care is taken, means they have a high likelihood of developing what is known as "drift" or phantom movement without the joystick actually being engaged. This issue has been, at the very least, acknowledged by Nintendo, and for a few years now Nintendo has been repairing/replacing Joy-Cons for free (at least in the US) because of it. I don't know if there have been design changes, but Nintendo's public release response has been mixed in an effort to avoid as much culpability as possible.
This is awesome, scary and very interesting. But, for me, it comes with a personal concern:

For some time I've been giving serious thought about an automated web service generator. Given a data model and information about the data (relationships, intents, groupings, etc.) output a fully deployable service. From unit tests through container definitions, and everything I can think of in-between (docs, OpenAPI spec, log forwarder, etc.)

So far, while my investment hasn't been very large, I have to ask myself: "Is it worth it?"

Watching this AI code generation stuff closely, I've been telling myself the story that the AI-generated code is not "provable". A deterministic system (like I've been imagining) would be "provable". Bugs or other unintended consequences would be directly traceable to the code generator itself. With AI code generation, there's no real way to know for sure (currently).

Some leading questions (for me) come down to:

1. Are the sources used by the AI's learning phase trustworthy? (e.g. When will models be sophisticated enough to be trained to avoid some potentially problematic solutions?)

2. How would an AI-generated solution be maintained over time? (e.g. When can AI prompt + context be saved and re-used later?)

3. How is my (potentially proprietary) solution protected? (e.g. When can my company host a viable trained model in a proprietary environment?)"

I want to say that my idea is worth it because the answers to these questions are (currently) not great (IMO) for the AI-generated world.

But, the world is not static. At some point, AI code generators will be 10x or 100x more powerful. I'm confident that, at some point, these code generators will easily surpass my 20+ years of experience. And, company-hosted, trained AI models will most likely happen. And context storage and re-use will (by demand) find a solution. And trust will eventually be accomplished by "proof is in the pudding" logic.

Basically, barring laws governing AI, my project doesn't stand a cold chance in hell. I knew this would happen at some point, but I was thinking more like a 5-10 year timeframe. Now, I realize, it could be 5-10 months.
Love the concept. Don’t know if any sites/lists. Maybe you could start one?
You honestly want to know what people want a stapler for?
It’s interesting how those same reasons, depending on the time line, would encourage joining, or not joining…. depending on when you consider them.
Germans learned their lesson, Putin lost his funding. Loss of that pipeline is a net win for humanity. If the headline were: "Ukrainian oligarch funds Polish mercenaries to blowup NordStream pipeline" I wouldn't even blink. Same way I wouldn't blink for: "During a press conference, US president promised to end NordStream, and kept his word".
It doesn’t sound like it

> Therefore, unlike sprites, which, on rare occasions can be seen by the naked eye, elves cannot. If one could see an elf, it would probably look like a giant, expanding ring—about 300 miles across--emanating from a point 60-65 miles in altitude and expanding outward

Ask HN: Do you know any tool to scan the public attack area of a company?
I'd like to try to identify potential attack vectors of a network from the outside as a potential bad actor could try.
It would be best if it accepted a domain name as the starting point of the scan.
What's required to package a program up? If the UI library is native all you need is the Rust binary, but since this also works with C++ and JS is it dynamically linked to some runtime files that need to be packaged as well? The tutorials don't seem to cover this, and it's the number two thing I look for in a UI toolkit (first being language).

I chose JavaFX for a project because the cross platform packaging was automatic, despite numerous other limitations. I've had enough dealing with packaging GTK and Qt in the past...

I did both but had much better responses on WWTBH. A lot of the companies that approached were really good, paid well, respectful, etc. Funny enough, I had actually applied for one of those companies elsewhere and they didn't process the application until they realized I was on HN.

In an old apartment, I mined cryptocurrency for the heat. Your counterarguments didn't apply because:

- I was in an apartment. I couldn't install a heat pump.

- I'm a gamer. I wanted a high-end GPU anyways.

It wasn't a dedicated mining rig, but I'd just adjust the mining intensity based on the game I was playing. When I wasn't using my computer at all, it'd go 100%. If I'm using my desktop, it'd run at 80%. Some games that didn't tax my GPU would still let me run at 80%.

My cat loved the warmth, too. She'd lay down behind my computer where the GPU exhausted its heat.
If you buy modern power electronic semiconductors, you can usually find so m spice models from the manufacturer (though they do indeed typically not model thermals).
Are you not familiar with the process of software engineering?

Replacing parts until you get a space shuttle is exactly how systems are evolved.

Name 1 Musk company that failed? Incompetent how?! If Musk is considered incompetent, I might as well drop whatever I'm doing forever because I'll never ever even come close?

Driving into the ground? Sounds like pure speculation based on nothing as long as Twitter isn't bankrupt?

You don't like Musk. OK, fine, you're allowed not to like him, but I don't get your reasoning.
I don't believe my comment said anything about norms of a community.

If someone takes an open design, makes a 1:1 copy, sells it just undercutting the people that put resources into designing it-- the eventual result of that trend continued is that future versions aren't going to be open anymore.

Call them delusional if you like but people complaining about anti-social behavior that undermines the public good are effective-- if they weren't you presumably wouldn't have seen any reason to comment at all. :P

Okay I must have misunderstood this when I worked at Zodiac maritime. The lashings do not look strong enough to support a sail: https://www.marineinsight.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/03/Imp...

I think they must have said they stay put is under weight and the lashings just keep them from slipping? Who knows, I'm definitely wrong here.
I don't think it will forget anything as long as everything fits in the context window, but I could totally be wrong. That's the big problem with the "give it everything" approach: if your codebase doesn't fit then it's game over. I've had success limiting what I give it to the relevant files.
These appear to be a much larger issue than what is normally seen by controllers designed by console manufacturers.
So true. As engineers we take all the art and some of the science out to make things super predictable.

I can go 75–90km on one charge with the open source firmware and a 850Wh battery. And you can service the bike yourself because it’s all standard parts (and you had to put it together yourself in the first place!)

You can also use any generic battery or build your own.
Clicking or tapping “in store” or setting filter on left to Walmart as the seller is easy enough, but it is a dark pattern for Walmart to remove the Walmart-as-seller filter every time you search.

Amazon, however, does not even let you filter for Amazon as a seller most of the time.
I'd say 8,9 or 10. Generally people who would be considered LPs for VCs and have political and/or media influence. It is the children of these people that are highly over represented in the executive and funded entrepreneur ranks.

Gleam is a strongly typed language like Haskell or Rust, so you cannot have a collection of multiple different types without using another type to wrap them into one.
Fun exercise, do the same thing - but for positives:

- We'll be basically energy independent in 10 years

- Manufacturing is being decentralized and re-shored

- Our domination in tech is not slowing

- Despite the news, violent crimes are near all-time lows

- Education is at an all time high

- Low income wages are at recent-history high

- Working hours are declining, PTO is going up

- Gay rights are at an all time high

- Turns out, Russia isn't much of a threat

- etc.

You see what you want to see. It's a good idea to at least try to see things from the positive and negative sides.
I've ran into a couple ones that have some canvas-based features that break when resistFingerprinting is on. They get some visible noise added on top (which does indeed thwart fingerprinting, but also makes it harder / weirder to use those features).
Heat pumps are great and are the current go-to for most home energy discussions, but they require a narrow delta between two close areas, basically a ready area to dump/acquire heat energy in order to warm/cool another area. They are useless in most small and all ad-hoc heating situations. For instance, there could never be a "desktop" heat pump that you can just plug in and blow hot air in room. There will never be a heatpump-heated kettle. The closest thing to a portable heatpump are portable/in-window air conditioners. They can be literally reversed in order to suck heat from outside and dump it into a room, but at that scale they are not very efficient. A heatpump oven might be theoretically possibly, but would be wildly impractical and probably very dangerous to be around.

You are just doing selection bias.

There was lots of high profile reporting calling Musk dumb for believing in EV and landing rockets. Media constantly using burning Tesla to show how bad EV are. The most important car show in the world, as mainstream as it gets, shit on Tesla hard. Lots of interviews with former CEOs of car companies explaining how dumb Tesla was.
There has been a lot of commentary along the lines that "OO sucks" since OO became mainstream in the early 1990s and there will be for a long time.

I think your example of a dataclass replacing a dict is just fine.

I'd grant though that the single-method class is a special case, even in Java it is tempting to use a Function<X,Y> as opposed to define a specific class or interface for a particular use. Such a "class" can even be defined as a lambda message in Java and capture state from the environment as opposed to writing a class with fields spelled out.

I've found, however, that the "functional class" often adds more methods and attributes over time. In the case of Python, however, you can write something like

def fn():
...

fn.someAttribute = ...

so you can occasionally tack some extra functionality (say metadata) onto a function that way.
We are grasping at straws here.

AI is already beyond our control.

Billions of people are told what to watch/consume by AI through their screens everyday.

No one can fully understand or control those system.

How could we ever be in control?

AI might force us to face this illusion of control that we cling to so dearly.
Maybe until we all have a local LLM's and custom models with full control, this level of abstraction(prompting) is not useful.
I refuse to contribute to the"Open"AI scheme. Let marketing and teens to give them data.:)
Did you get anything from your "who wants to be hired" post? It's not been clear to me that it's a useful thing to do.
I think the hard part is, yeah, I see there's like a million ways this could turn out poorly for society but what the heck am I going to do? I can't control what OpenAI/Meta/Google does so why does me raging on the internet about it, instead of just learning to understand the tech and using it, gain me?

It's like boycotting walmart. All you're going to do, if you personally boycott walmart, is deprive yourself of the convenience. It's not going to hurt walmart in the slightest. Even if a percentage of people did it, it's not like walmart is going to struggle at least not in a way that makes the boycott useful.
I have been experimenting with exactly this. I hit the context window limit while developing a small web app [1] by having GPT do all the coding.

I've tried a few things:

1. Summarize/collapse the code.

- Use GPT to summarize code blocks into a 1 line comment.
- Collapse all the top level code blocks into their summary line. This turns the entire codebase into a much smaller "top level map".
- Use a ReAct pattern via langchain to have the LLM itself try and determine which collapsed blocks need to be recursively "expanded" to understand the code with respect to the user requested feature/bugfix/change/modification.
- Feed GPT this partially expanded code base along with the user requested change.
- Have it spit back the modified version of that partially expanded code.
- Apply the GPT changes back to the original source files.

2. Explicitly ask GPT "which parts of the code are relevant to this change request" or "which parts of this code would need to be modified to make the needed changes", etc.

3. Again using ReAct, give GPT tools to "grep" and "cat" the code so that it can explore the codebase to find and understand relevant chunks. I've even armed it with bash in a sandbox. It started importing and running parts of the python code I was operating over.

None of these approaches have panned out fully yet. But there are promising signs.

[1] This is the small webapp that GPT wrote for me. I'm working on it mainly as a forcing function to explore these sorts of "GPT as junior developer / coding collaborator" workflows.

Is it a crazy suggestion that you could put a display on the smart speaker and teach a small subset of literacy for them to see what is being said?

This is the same thing the politicians fight about every time out here. Scottsdale doesn’t want light rail because it will help the “wrong people” get deeper into Scottsdale. Glendale doesn’t want light rail because apparently they just wanted to pay for the stadiums but not actually support any kind of development to take advantage of those stadiums.

Everyone else complains that the light rail is useless and doesn’t go anywhere so why should we pay to expand it.

This opposition is solely focused on opposing more funding to the light rail system and somehow being reframed about TSMC.
