> while a page (doing more advanced things) not built for safari simply will not work in safari.

I've yet to see such a page [1]. And I've been using Safari since 2007

[1] Unless it's built with Chrome's non-standards of course.

Edit: of course there will be pages broken in Safari (or FF) for no reason other than the sheer incompetence of people building them. E.g. we have an internal dashboard page that is literally nothing more than tables and charts. Ooops, "only works in Chrome".

There's also the minor case of nominally open audio and video codecs that Google pushes to device manufacturers on pain of removing access to its services, but even that hasn't affected me, or most people really, that much.
Computers aren’t humans. Software isn’t a person. If you’re going to argue as if computers are now people and deserve having laws apply to them, think about the implications of you owning a human.

A 30hp Ferrari for 100k would still be a luxury item, very much so, assuming there'd be people that want them (which there clearly are for macbooks). Luxury doesn't mean "the best" or even "good".
Well that's exactly my point, if you simplify the rules like that, of course the program becomes very short.
Framework is doing a good job narrowing the gap between its level of support for Windows and Linux. The Framework Laptop now officially supports 2 distros, Fedora and Ubuntu.

Linux gaming for CS2 will be relevant only when major desktop environments (Gnome and KDE) fully implement Wayland screen tearing control and adaptive sync. Overall input lag on Linux is too high for competitive shooters.
Raymond Chen's analysis pretty much explains what's missing, add in the locking and actually implement the compression part and it would work.

I've been using GPT-4 to translate my app into new languages. Saved me thousands of dollars in the past few weeks.

I used to pay translators for that, but GPT-4 translation is so good. I'd argue domain specific even better than a translator.

Do you mean normal (idiomatic) k code is 1/2 to 1/3 of golfed Python? Because that seems more accurate. This code by John is not golfed.
Though this is certainly their right and I agree with the decision, I think this was sort of overplayed.
What I personally would have liked to see is a "deposit" tax of $10- or some amount included in each rental. Then, if scooters are brought back to specific areas, determined by the city, the person who brings it back gets back their $10.

I'm confident an appropriate deposit tax would've satisfied both parties and perhaps gave passerbys an incentive to pick them up.
LAAX / Weisse Arena Gruppe | Full-Stack & Front-End | Laax, Switzerland | ONSITE | 60-100% | https://www.laax.com/en

Take in the snow-capped surroundings of the Swiss Alps from our co-working space at 2252m, perched just above the world’s largest halfpipe, as you write (and ride) the next lines in our digital story.

Within Europe, LAAX is a uniquely integrated mountain destination, encompassing lifts, mountain operations, four snowparks, hotels, restaurants, bars, ski school, Freestyle Academy, bike trails, and more. Tying all this together is the LAAX App, our flagship digital product — connect your keycard, then collect badges as you unlock challenges skiing or snowboarding throughout the resort, or compete on the leaderboards, earning LAAX Points to spend directly in the app on food, drinks, or other rewards.

Your work will be in the hands of tens of thousands of guests each month, all concentrated in one place. This creates the opportunity to be hands-on (and boots-on) in a way few other roles can offer.

We’re looking for engineers who share the passion of our guests for the mountains, and want to build the best digital/physical experiences possible, in our beautiful alpine playground. To do that, you’ll be working with:

* React / React Native / MobX

* TypeScript / Node.js / Express / GraphQL / MongoDB / Postgres

* AWS (EC2, S3, SES, SNS, RDS, VPC, Lambda, CloudFormation, etc.)

Ideally, you’re a fast learner who enjoys getting stuck in, and you already have significant experience building (B2C) mobile apps, with an eye for details and an intuition for what makes a great digital user journey.

Interested? Send your resume and an intro to dgx@laax.com

Holz sold Leap for $30M, which is less than all the funding they raised. I’m assuming his common stock went to 0. So he’s still motivated to make money on MJ, as he should be.
Microplastics are everywhere, and you can't use those plastic dishes without some of them coming off -- into water, into the air, and into your food (and therefore your body).

Microplastics are absolutely hurting the environment, and are contributing to things like endocrine disruption.

> what the analogy to "radioactive fallout" will be from LLMs

I think we're already seeing it. People don't understand that an LLM is just a text generator and add value to what the LLM says. See the article below for such an example.

I can't wait for this stuff to be legislated to establish once and for all what the legal status is.
TfL seems to be focused on ensuring the devices are safe, rather than ensuring the devices are used safely.

The operators were chosen after an open and competitive process to assess their ability to meet strict safety requirements and high operating standards. (For example, the scooter batteries can be monitored to ensure they meet fire safety regulations.)

Also, AIUI this is a trial, and people might not buy their own scooters if they knew their right to use them was only temporary. So it would be a difficult test to run. Also: data.
Isn't this very similar to the plotline of Inception? Looks like the CPC has mastered multi-layered inception.

SEEKING WORK - Contract, Remote, based in NYC area, backend engineer

I am a backend expert, having built and maintained highly available systems for several companies over the last 7 years, in addition to over 20 total years of software development experience. I learn new things extremely quickly.

You will like working with me because I:

* hold your goals as my priorities
* communicate verbosely yet synthesize well
* my rates are reasonable in exchange for the value I deliver
* I guarantee I will get the job done

Concrete examples:

* built the streaming data architecture for realtime game player information and game stats for one of the top 3 US sports leagues (can’t name drop!) using Redpanda/Kafka on Azure+Terraform, and implemented its developer portal using Gravitee to provide first class streaming API support and monetization.

* Implemented a vector DB for one of the leading AI image hallucination platforms (millions of users) to provide an image similarity service.

* replatformed dozens of jobs to AWS Lambda for a startup hedge fund, vastly improving QoS and maintenance cost. Line 1 to platform-in-prod time 3 months.

* built a ~50 node, AWS, Dockerized, Terraform-deployed distributed system to provide realtime, transformed trade data from crypto exchanges to a Kafka pipeline and data lake (fodder for an analytics platform). Met 5000msec SLA across arbitrarily many exchanges and ticker symbols. Blue-green deployment for complete CICD safety. Cloudwatch metrics proved SLA was met and provided general system oversight.

* built a framework to collapse dozens of singleton ETL programs into one config-driven, simple C# application performing the same functionality at ~80% reduction in maintenance cost year over year.

Email: jurgen at the above domain

I’ve had a nearly 20 year career as an IT manager first and as an SRE /
DevOps engineer later, with a period of practicing permaculture in the
jungle in Brazil in between. I would enjoy working as a contributing
engineer at a smaller company, or coordinating DevOps and reliability
engineering at a larger company as a manager. In either case it should
be company I can believe in, one that will have a positive impact on the
world.

I am at a point in my life where relocation is a possibility for the
right job. I hold an EU passport.

I'd also love to hear how could people price in the value of the experience they get from using their device every single day.

I say that as a former Mac/Apple hater, I used to think all the usual tropes: how overpriced it was for the configuration, how all Mac users were part of a cult, brainwashed for status, so on and so forth. Until I got a Mac for work, planning to just install Linux on it but after seeing some coworkers having headaches doing that I stuck with MacOS for a while and... I never left.

I never had anything close to the issues I had when using Linux as a daily driver, I do believe Linux has got much better for desktop these days but I simply don't want to care about fixing my machine/OS when something inevitably goes awry as it's done multiple times in the past for me.

Apple might not fix their issues as timely as I'd like sometimes but I've been on this boat for 10+ years and the amount of accumulated pain from using a Mac vs what I suffered on Linux/Windows-land machines before is not really comparable, at all, it's been orders of magnitude less painful to me.

My experience is absolutely personal and anecdotal so I just want to disclaim that I'm not saying people who don't use/like Macs and Apple are wrong, or advocating for anyone to switch, etc. I don't buy into the Apple cult, if some other company creates a product that works better than what I have I will switch in an instant. I just don't think it's very clear when comparisons are made simply on tech specs rather than the experience as a whole.

The thing is that right now my Macs have done everything I ever wanted from a desktop machine, very high reliability compared to any other option I've used in almost 3 decades on computers, so I stick with them.

On my Mac I can do my job as a SWE, do my photography stuff, as well as my music production. And I never had more than a hiccup here and there from a major OS upgrade in 10+ years.
Deciding who is and who isn't part of the community sounds like anti-communal gatekeeping behavior -- and explicitly against the values of open source, no discrimination against persons or groups is a big deal for openness.

Imagine someone in the early days had been able to manufacture whole machines from scratch at decent prices. That would have probably been desirable, lots of people would have bought them.

You can be bitter about person putting a lot of effort into X not getting (enough) monetary compensation, but this line of thinking is in direct conflict with the communal "open source hardware" thinking.
People willing to replace workers with lower cost options always existed; however, AI is an enabling factor.

People willing to murder always existed; however, guns are an enabling factor.

As I understanding, the parent's argument is that focusing on the person willing to do the action is not useful because they were always there. What has changed is the enabling factor.
Fearful of becoming a prompt carver? Let's be real, that is the least of their fears.

Fearful that a prompt carver can replace 10 artists is the more realistic fear here. That is the essential trajectory being plotted out by this technology and the trajectory described by the article.
I constantly see these posts about Windows--I'm not sure what people are expecting when they're not really paying (extra) for it.

I run Pro versions on all my machines and don't tend to have this blot. Is that it? I pay $49 more and get Windows without any of this crap? Sign me up.
> progressing from a certain stage requires a minimum of two major implementations. The chrome team happens to sit

The Chrome team happens to throw something over the wall and ship it to production with no oversight. And sometimes complain that that they cannot hide it behind a flag because people are already using it.

There's no end of people right here on HN who scream bloody murder when Safari (and Firefox) refuse to implement some new Chrome-only API.
There are a bunch of well-known areas where popular calculators tend to give incorrect answers: https://apcentral.collegeboard.org/courses/resources/example...

It’s mostly fine until it isn’t. AI will probably operate in the same capacity. We already have so much incorrect information out there that’s part of our pop culture. Even down to things like the fact that Darth Vader never said, “Luke, I am your father,” and Mae West never said, “Why don’t you come see me sometime?”

Even basic movie quotes are beyond our ability to get right. Hilariously, I just asked ChatGPT about these quotes and it explained that these are common misquotes, told me what was actually said in these movies, and explained some relevant context.

Sherlock never said, “Elementary, my dear Watson” even once in the books. Kirk never said, “Beam me up, Scotty.” We’re much less correct than we like to think. And somehow we’ve survived.

ChatGPT is fallible just like we are. We’ll manage, just like we always have.
Makes us even more impressive ;)
Hi! I'm a developer with ~4 years of professional experience currently finishing up a
Masters degree in Computer Science from IIT Kanpur, India.

Previously, I have worked in the finance domain handling large amounts of data mainly in a
vector-oriented programming language and columnar database called q/kdb+.
Apart from q/kdb+, I worked with Python, bash/ksh and Java in my previous roles.

During my Masters, I've been diving deeper into systems level programming including Rust, C, C++,
vectorization with SIMD (x86 intrinsics), parallel programming (OpenMP, TBB), GPU programming (CUDA, OpenCL),
compilers (I've started contributing a few fixes to the Rust GCC backend) and the Linux kernel.

If you are looking for a fast learner who can contribute to your gpu/compiler/other systems project,
I would potentially fit the bill.

Location: India

Remote: Yes

Willing to relocate: Maybe

Technologies: q/kdb+, Rust, Python, C, C++, bash, GNU/Linux, OpenMP, Docker, Kubernetes, GPU programming (CUDA, OpenCL, PTX)
