"Rewrite from scratch everything that engineer X touched in four years of working here after he leaves" does not sound like a feasible approach to development. Also, while having good code separation between contractual APIs is a good goal and worth pushing towards, the idea that nobody would ever have shared ownership of any code unit between API contracts is too extreme.
> That... basically amounts to manually bundling values of the concrete type together with the implementation of trait and then passing them around together (also manually), isn't it?

That is more or less similar to implementing the Go interface pointer or Rust "dyn" fat pointer manually. And of-course everyone will do this their own way instead of the language providing the standard.

I make a bet that next major version of Gleam will have traits once its designers are enlightened on the need for the same.

Ask HN: As ruler of all software/technology, what would you change to be better?
Hi everyone,

I'm really curious what you want software vendors, operating system vendors, linux distributions, programming language maintainers/authors, mobile phone manufacturer, technology manufacturer, Google, Facebook, Twitter, Netflix, Amazon, AWS, GCP, Azure would do but never would?

Would you remove all adverts from Ubuntu?
Would you remove adverts from paid services?
Would you replace all subscriptions with lifetime prices?
Would you pour resources into cross platform UI toolkits?
Would you change the licence of Qt?
What Javascript framework would you want people to standardize upon?
What language would you want your favourite tool to be written in?

What would make you extremely happy and satisfied?

To clarify, these aren't my positions, but I'm curious what people truly want from technology/software that they use day-in-day-out or themselves develop on but their companies would never let them do what they want.
I don't know if this is serious or not to be quite honest. But I think the South China Sea and Taiwan provide ample tinder to spark an inferno in the very near term like the next 5 years.

https://www.reuters.com/world/china/china-builds-mockups-us-...

The point is, if no one knows what the stakes are, it becomes easy for an accident to escalate into a war. A plane collision leads to war, war-games around Taiwan lead to war. The military is on autopilot without a substantial debate about what the US should do. Neither side wants WWIII but neither did the people who stumbled in WWI. Even Hitler thought he would be able to take Poland without France or the UK intervening and was not happy when they declared war. There is no winner in WWIII. It's not a numbers game because we all die.

We need them. How do we trust a car at 200km/h , or a plane ?
We'll test, standardize, improve and trust them.
I scan read the paper.

• It seems OK. Large sample size, fairly simple statistical treatment, clear and (mostly) honest writeup of their results.

• About half of reviewers could correctly guess who the authors were despite the double blinding.

• The motivation was the widespread belief in their field that women are discriminated against by peer review. In reality they found a slight bias in favor of women. (Their abstract and press release says they found no bias, but on p11 they say differently).

• They also found no racism. Review results for people from non-western countries didn't change.

• The difference is all due to a strong positive bias towards researchers from rich countries. This is probably "prestige bias", but can also just be that people go softer on people they know already because the reviewers are mostly western.

• Optional double blinding will therefore be ineffective, it has to be mandatory.
As the question has already been answered, I'll just add that the general principle is known as self-hosting:

As I understand it, the first versions of Unix were written in PDP-7 assembly. Thompson and Ritchie's C work took place on that.
I love the workflow! This is how I'm writing articles now with ChatGPT's GPT-4, just with less copy-pasting and all in one place, and fewer Markdown problems.

The two things I'm missing, or didn't find how to use:

1. GPT-4 :) I know the API isn't public yet, but the reasoning abilities of GPT-4 are so much better that I'm having a hard time arguing with GPT-3.

2. I have a long prompt I give to GPT-4 (context on our product, writing style guidelines, text examples for style, words to avoid, etc.). It's about two pages long, in addition to the request for the specific article or paragraph I'm writing. How should I incorporate that into Type's UI?

3. How do I import/export a whole article, or paragraphs, as Markdown? EDIT: Copy-paste. Lol, simpler than I expected.
I was in Denver about 10 years ago and went through the human size "sniffing" machine.

It was weird. I was the only one in line and they sent me through. You can keep shoes and belts on. Ushered into a telephone booth sized device. It had doors on both sides and puffed me with air. 10 or 20 seconds later the green light came the door opened and I walked out.

(I guess they're called "puffer machines")

That statement makes no sense at all. "Positive externalities" is the benefit someone derives from consuming a product/service so this is usually quite well reflected in the actual price you pay for it. I.e. the "positive externality" of electricity is light, warmth, power, etc. This is why you pay your electricity provider and that price is based on market factors already.

Worth calling out use by government. AI law enforcement is terrifying yet probably a long way off. But I don't think AI weapon systems are very far off.

I'm also concerned about population-level manipulation/thought control. Forget the targeted political ads we've seen over the past ~decade, this will be able to dynamically adapt to each target like a really good salesperson. On the macro level humans are clearly vulnerable to these tactics.
For anyone hailing from russia to be taken seriously, can you please answer these basic questions first: 1) Is Ukraine a sovereign country that belongs to the free people of Ukraine?, 2) Who does Crimea belong to?, 3) is russian army committing war crimes in Ukraine, and 4) are you personally supporting the russians war of genocide on Ukraine?
This is cynicism disguising itself as wisdom.

Of course people with privilege have it easier. The whole world runs on the Matthew Effect because it's too lazy to do anything else. It isn't just or fair. Until you can fully accept that truth and do things despite that, you're stuck.

Me? As someone who rarely is fully confident about things, I'm fully confident I'll achieve some moderate success in bootstrapping if only because I have internalized the meta-belief that I can learn, adapt, persevere, and work toward the future I want, regardless of how long it takes, how successful I am, or any other external indicators. Agency is a powerful meta-belief. In that sense, I've already won, I'm just enjoying the journey and what I'm learning. And, one day I'll start cutting the strings of trading time for money.
Part of the reason for registers carrying powers of 2 bits is the runaway popularity of C and Unix. The PDP-11 had 16-bit registers. Some of the programming conventions we still use today originated with a humble PDP-11 at Bell Labs.
How large is a panopticon text corpus?
AI training sets keep expanding, and I was thinking about the rate of progress and what natural limits would there be. I took a low-effort stab at estimating the size of a Panopticon text corpus, and was wondering are my assumptions/calculations reasonable?

The problem is a bit deeper than just addiction. It is manipulation and social engineering of a young and exploitable group. This is the new kind of scam and many people are ill-equipped to deal with them, just like how some people were weak to nigerian prince scams once upon a time.

When people sincerely said something like: "I have crypto and tesla stocks, I am rich and don't need to work", there are more problems to solve than just gambling addiction.
For the GPU there is a very detailed guide here

https://github.com/LunarPSD/NvidiaOverclocking/blob/main/Nvi...

Relevant part is the undervolting + you need MSI Afterburner and HWINFO (or your choice of software) to monitor power draw.

But if you don't minmaxing then for example this video is more than enough https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ANkR9v9HjZE&t=165s Just watch the relevant part about MSI Afterburner adjusting the voltage curve.

For the CPU it's all over the place because of the chipsets and motherboard manufacturers. You can do more on a Z board than on a B and it's different between for example MSI and Asus. I recommend to search around on Youtube and especially on reddit. Subs like /r/intel /r/amd /r/overclocking /r/buildapc are very useful.

Even if you have a K CPU it should work with a "lesser" non-Z motherboard too, for example https://old.reddit.com/r/intel/comments/11dbq60/undervolting...

There is the Intel XTU app which very useful for monitoring. It depends once again on the motherboard but sometimes you can do undervolting there too, but generally it's recommended to do it in the BIOS. For example I can't do it either in XTU but whatever I change in the BIOS will show up there (like the "Core Voltage Offset") https://i.imgur.com/xHA5W6m.png

Not before there were C compilers.
I asked it for Hello World and it got that wrong. It left out the exit syscall required at the end, which meant the CPU would continue executing until it hit a seg fault.

A few weeks later I found the exact blog post that ChatGPT copied from, down to the blog article explaining how the exit syscall was required and was intentionally missing from the first step as a pedagogical exercise. But of course ChatGPT won't know that.

If you know assembler, it's much easier and safer writing it yourself. If you don't don't assembler, you're doing stupid and dangerous things and should immediately stop.
> But if you fixed that, it wouldn't be academia anymore.

That's a bold claim worthy of consideration. To assess it, we need to first ask: have the academic incentives always been "publish or perish"? And the answer is...apparently not, according to “Scientific Autonomy, Public Accountability, and the Rise of “Peer Review” in the Cold War United States”. This paper details how the current paradigm is a product of political anti-science-funding sentiment in the 1970s.

That tracks with anecdotes from Einstein, Higgs, and Fuller regarding distaste with the modern peer review system.

Unfortunately peer review looks like it's actually a policy issue, because it's tied to government funding, so the change in incentives would have to start there. I don't have any answers but at the same time I think it's worth considering the fact that "publish or perish" is not the natural state of academia, but rather a recent phenomenon that appears to coincide with the reproducibility crisis and a decline in the number of large scientific breakthroughs.
They didn't. There was no C before Unix. The first Unix was written in Assembly, and was used to develop the first C compiler.

The question of whether or not it was a mistake misses that NATO expansion was likely inevitable because of the democratic process.

Poland and other CEE countries lobbied aggressively to join NATO in the 90s, and by far their biggest asset was their diaspora communities in the US. The GOP had taken the House in '94 and were pushing for NATO expansion leading up to the '96 election. In order to head off this threat, Clinton promised NATO expansion eventually, to which Dole ended up promising a definite date for CEE's entry. Said Clinton at the time:

'I face a difficult campaign, but I have a reasonable chance. The Republicans are pushing NATO expansion. Wisconsin, Illinois and Ohio are key; they represented a big part of my majority last time—states where I won by a narrow margin. The Republicans think they can take away those states by playing on the idea of NATO expansion.'

It's not replacing people, it is doing something else than we do. Even the fact that AI is scalable and doesn't get tired indicates the job replacement idea is wrong. AI will do massive work, something we couldn't have done with 100x more people.

Our mistake is to be human-centric. We think our work will be stolen by AI bots, but we can't imagine AI creating business and hiring people. When AGI comes, we will have to care for the needs of humans + the needs of AGI. And it has needs, so there will be jobs. And AGI might be more prolific in development than we are, there might be plenty of work for us.
We must work in vastly different businesses. In five years, my company will still be selling similar products to the same customers — likely the same product’s successor model, and the code we write today may very well be the maintained legacy code then. To me, your approach sounds like hell because it means each line of that imperfect code will have caused a bug and/or forced a refactor commit.
Yes, a difference of will. They were simply willing to fight much harder to defend Stalingrad than to invade Finland.
I suspect this is the case as well. I've been applying for senior software engineer positions since mid January and I have way more auto-declines the next day after applying than I do initial phone calls with the company recruiter. I have a decent mix of experience and results in Python, C++ embedded, NodeJS, NoSQL dbs and CI/CD and I typically match 80% of the requirements+bonus requirements. One company even said last week that they liked my background because of the scope of work/results compared to faang resumes (I only have 2nd tier tech company experience).
Why? The taxpayers don't need a fab there, and they won't have to build a highway if they don't build the fab. If I was an average person in Phoenix, I wouldn't want to pay increased taxes so a foreign corporation and wealthy Americans can get paid.

Also in a similar situation now (well, in the B2B space, with ~20 corporate customers around the country) and the times it's come up, people have been more concerned to see a business continuity plan than a big office full of people who can take over.

You can find lots of examples for a BCP on any search engine, and in my experience so far it's more important to show that you've thought about it and at least have a plan in place to take care of business continuity, should something happen to you, in the future.

Another thing to keep in mind is, even if you had staff who could keep a platform going, until you're running quite a large operation, even finding someone who'd want to take over should something happen to you is going to be difficult. I'm eyeing a buyout by a large competitor in the distant future for that, because this is a really niche space and requires a lot of technical knowledge and people skills.
But wait till you see quadrophonic records!
My theory is Chad/Beiber/Murk/Bezos piss off people mostly by over-saturation in media. Imagine you don't like them but then every piece of media keeps talking to you about it non-stop for 5 years. At least they don't play recordings of Musk at the mall, but the amount of articles talking about him is just absolutely insane.
The article you posted said 6-8 years. 100 months is in the US due to the legal and political climate that supports fossil fuel generation. In the US there is even backlash against wind power of all things... It's part of the reason why nuclear plants are built so large in the US.

This is one problem I have with anti-nuclear propaganda. It uses the fact that it's been so successful at destroying nuclear power, as evidence that it's right in the first place.
I have worked with deps around the world of JPM, GS and others and others and there are not many places I have seen where there are so many replaceable and basically not really employable people. They could’ve been replaced with some code 10 years ago; now it’s only easier. Not necessarily AI but AI won’t make it better for them. These are very large numbers who are only there to pump the number of employees under their managers or some other lame metric.

Of course it does not mean they will do anything about it.
The way you frame the question already suggests a solution, and one that indeed doesn't fit ECS that well. That doesn't mean you couldn't design a DAW using ECS, but you'd have to redesign how it works.

For example:

- create custom components for different instruments

- create systems for specific instruments that match the necessary components

- write the result to a common component (e.g. "ChannelOutput")

You could then add components for EQ, effects, routing, ... and introduce systems that match those. The advantage of this approach would be that you end up with a bunch of loosely coupled systems (for instruments, effects, mixing, ...) and an in-memory representation that's cache & parallelization friendly.

One other datapoint would be that Unreal's animation sequencer uses an ECS design, which has a lot of things in common with a DAW.

Glossing over lots of details here, you can't of course design a DAW in one paragraph.

Hmm, over 95 years old and still read HN? I would admire the mental ability of such a person. I think by the time I am 95, I will probably be dead or have my mind so degraded I can barely read. Comprehending techs like AIs would be so beyond me then.
