Ask HN: TypeScript for CSS, is it overkill?
At my work we are using Vanilla Extract but I feel there is no need for Types in CSS. CSS fails gracefully so it doesn’t feel like it makes sense like it does for javascript.

Your debunking and pooh-pooh'ing is unpersuasive. This is a professional association publishing that, and they do have shrinks in prison.

"About 1.2% of U.S. adult men and 0.3% to 0.7% of U.S. adult women are considered to have clinically significant levels of psychopathic traits. Those numbers rise exponentially in prison, where 15% to 25% of inmates show these characteristics (Burton, B., & Saleh, F. M., Psychiatric Times, Vol. 37, No. 10, 2020). "

I had chronic sleep paralysis for many years. One thing I eventually figured out is that I still had control over my breathing, and I could hyper-ventilate myself awake. Sleep pararalysis then stopped either because I aquired that skill or because I stopped eating gluten.
I put that as an assumption because that is what concerns me. At least a scenario where all knowledge workers are not needed because AI can do the job just as well. I don't think that scenario is nonsense (may be unlikely or far in future) with the way things are going.
It might also work if it's somebody local who is supported by good reviews.

As an example, Costco and Target recently got rid of their in-store photo labs, which has created a void in the market for local photo printing, which could be filled by a local sidegigger. In this scenario, NeverPrinter would act as a marketplace for local printed items.

It would be much more energy efficient to just serve the page from some static hosting like GitHub pages where the server is already running and when no one is requesting your page, it uses 0w rather than having to run a full OS constantly.

That way you also avoid the creation of a battery, computer, and solar panels to host a few MB of files.

The wifi APs too. And not "will" stop working but "might, and if so I won't be around to reboot it." Also regularly tests that stuff will return to health after a real power outage, and that nothing is depending on ephemeral state like DHCP leases. Basically, I want to experience the same circumstances during the week I'm visiting that they're going to experience for months after.

Ubiquiti APs failed this test. The moment one started an OTA update, my mom temp unplugged it to make room for a blender. It soft-bricked itself. Parents couldn't figure out how to reconfigure it after a hard reset.
“Influencers” are the loud minority. Most don’t actually even make much money at all, even the ones with lots of followers.

Meanwhile there’s plenty of people quietly chugging away on various projects or educational resources with a core group of followers supporting then via patreon/donations/etc who make a good living. I follow at least a dozen across game dev, software, electronics, etc.

It’s a grind to get started though, Eg it can take a few years to get to “make enough to survive” money. You need to actually be providing consistent content that benefits people. Not millions of people, but more than a few.

The article doesn't touch on this, but Sun Tzu famously wrote about the importance of spycraft in his The Art of War. It actually completely changed my outlook on what it's like to truly go at war (from a macro standpoint). The salient advantage often lies not by knowing what's on the battlefield, but rather what's behind enemy lines. Being able to sow dissent, for example, can be way more of a force multiplier than outnumbering the opponent on the field. And, in this regard, Chess (where number of pieces is vitally relevant) is absolutely nothing like war.

Even that's not unambiguous. Singular verbs in English end in -s, introducing ambiguity as to if "runs" is a verb or noun. Sure, you can figure out that the verb that ends in s in "he runs" is a verb based on the grammar (that properly constructed sentences have both a subject and a predicate, and less often are composed of only two nouns (baring implicit sentence components that English is prone to encourage), but that requires more context than recognizing nouns based solely on "the usual verbs are noun-ified by adding an -s".

When I was at TomTom, they ran a contest for employees to come up with fun ways to gamify their internet-connected GPS Personal Navigation Devices.

Some wise guy came up with the brilliant idea of maintaining a real-time "Top 10 Speeders" leaderboard for every single road on the entire map. Kinda like Foursquare for speeding on local roads. No matter where you were driving in the world, you could instantly see the top ten speeds of other TomTom users who drove down that same stretch of road, and put the pedal to the metal to claim or defend your own spot on the leaderboard!

That one went over like a lead balloon with the legal department.

The only thing worse would be a chat app for texting while driving above the speed limit with other Leaderboard members along the same stretch of road.

They also didn't appreciate my proposal for TomTomagotchi: a simulated personality on your PND that relentlessly begs you to drive it all around town to various interesting places it wants to visit, to improve its mood and satisfy its cravings. (Kind of like having virtual kids!) I'm sure there's a revenue model having drive through Burger Kings and car washes pay for placements.

15 minutes to respond, reminds me of the systems we use at work
We played "chicken" which generally involved anything sharp and widening your stance each time. Knives or darts in general or on one memorable occasion - an air rifle.

"Chicken" was also the name given to a bloody stupid game reminiscent of frogger, except you only have one life. I gave that one a miss, which is probably why I am typing this!

Mumblypeg seems to be more of a game of skill where the penalty isn't a dart in your shin (soz, brother) but the chance to pull out your teeth to general hilarity. Dental hygiene was pretty basic back then as was diet, so losing an incisor must have been a real possibility. I think that is why the name focuses on the peg and "mumbling" rather than the throwing bit. Given this is a very long time ago "mumbly" probably doesn't mean quite what we use it for today. I have a suspicion it might mean "gagging" or "choking" or it might simply indicate that the mumbly orifice (mouth) is involved. As with all these sorts of games - all possibilities were correct somewhere. No doubt some inventive placements of the peg were found - eg in a cow pat or a nettle patch.

"Base" must surely be the origin of the bases in baseball. Basically baseball is bases with a twist (or two).

“We will make a pit-hole and there cast our nuts.” - that's marbles nowadays. I clearly remember doing that at Button Lane Infant School, Manc. Lancs. in 1976 and at Paderborn First School (BFES). I can recall buying marbles in the Sudring supermarket in Paderborn and I can attest that German kids were well catered for marbles back then (far better than we had in the UK). There was and probably still is a complicated exchange rate for the various marble types. One of our neighbours in Paderborn was a tankie (QRIH) and his lads obtained a few bearings from a Chieftain tank - 50mm or so across. They had a massive exchange value! They could shatter a glass marble if deployed correctly ...
Top of my mind. Discovery, apart from devs (even that is a stretch), when I say app people quickly open play store/app store. When I say you just gotta click add to the home screen. They're like, you don't have an app? Isn't that just a failure of UX?
I once tried to convince a founder so hard to go with webapp, I gave every advantage I could think of, then in our survey not one of our users was comfortable, they all weirded out. But hey web app works if it's forced like in a enterprise or MDM setting, but people would rather open app stores.
Despite the flak, consumers trust app stores at some level than a random website, even if its more secure since it can't access a lot of APIs, but they don't know that.
Every framework ionic, flutter etc I've tried since Cordova has had some weird feel to it. I can quickly recognize a webapp packaged as native in the first two mins, most of the users I worked with just think it's slow or janky since they Don't understand it's a webapp vs native.
Most people tend to try to engage the world with how it is rather than how they’d like it to be. It’s definitely not as simple as you make it out to be. They employ both strategies - they try to suppress real studies and they try to generate bullshit on top to confuse them situation / overwhelm the capacity of the system to deal with it.

Sure it’s an ad hominem attack to use past behavior to judge someone’s current or actions statements and taking actions as a result (eg ignoring them). And yet, is that a logical fallacy? I don’t think so but you seem to have an opposite conclusion.
Paper airplane designed by Boeing engineers breaks world distance record
The "move fast and break things" silicon valley microservices mentality hardly applies to spacecraft on planets months away.

Before any change gets uploaded, I'd imagine it goes through days/weeks (possibly months) of simulation and analog testing.

Not to mention the project requirements are not changing often and are going to be very clearly defined.

As I'm sure you know, Agile shines where requirements are fluid and not clearly defined.
Twitter staff cuts leave Russian trolls unchecked
I hate the rewrite treadmill. I'm dealing with this now. One of the APIs we use is migrating to a different API. Of course they completely changed the data structure. So now we have to rewrite entire components (they don't want a service layer to restructure the data), there's nobody left from the original team that wrote it, and the only requirements we have are "make it work like it did with the old API". Surprise surprise, we have a lot of bugs showing up in prod.

This is how you burnout people - have people do boring yet frustrating work, make them do it the hard way, then put them on a deadline with other competing priorities.

I didn't mention this in my other comment because I thought the use of alumina could be avoided, but I suggest you look up the price of some optical sapphire (ie transparent alumina) before you get excited about that. Even for a tiny, flat circle you're looking at around ten bucks. A bulb would likely be harder.

Thus is medium shit post at best.. why is it on arxiv
The sources in that article don't seem to check out. All the ones I've checked directly contradict the claims of the article, make obvious factual errors (e.g. referring to a Dr. Richard Walter), or seem to be paraphrasing other sources.
"Criminal profiling: an introduction to behavioral evidence analysis" mentions Walter in a chapter entitled "Criminal Profiling and Forensic Fraud" and describes his perjuries at length. Yet the Wikipedia article cites it as evidence that he is "one of the creators of modern criminal profiling".

Open Source Greg finally gets his day.
That's an interesting review of the technology, because to me what you've described raises a lot of red flags. I've read - and written! - plenty of code where the author clearly hasn't taken the time to learn the tools that they're using, and just hacked around in circles until they've got everything to work. And that code is usually bad - difficult to extend or change, poorly abstracted, difficult to understand, etc. It has its place, and I understand why people (including myself) write like that sometimes, but I wouldn't want it to become the norm.

It sounds like these sorts of tools are making it easier to get started with new ideas, but I'm intrigued to see what long-term maintenance is going to look like.

I'm glad to see this flagship interplanetary probes launch. For those wondering why it's taking 8 years, it's huge (~6 tons IIRC).

I still hope to see probes enter orbit around Uranus and Neptune in my lifetime. Neptune in particular would be a massive challenge with an expected flight time of ~30 years IIRC so I don't see that happening anytime soon.

The last (and only!) time we've been to Uranus and Neptune is with Voyager 2 in flybys in 1986 and 1989 (respectively). Imagine what we can do with current technology. I guess a flyby is the most we can hope for. Still, I can dream.

Chess belongs to a class of games that are particularly interesting to study: it is a finite extensive form game which basically means the game can be modeled as a tree and requires only shared knowledge among participants, all the participants have complete shared knowledge, it’s sequential, has perfect recall (nothing prevents looking backwards at the game state), and a simple payoff function (you win if you checkmate the opponent, in which case the opponent also loses) that is zero-sum.

This makes it so chess has a one-shot sub game perfect equilibrium: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Subgame_perfect_equilibrium. But, the dimensionality of the possible end states is very high, because there are many different configurations leading to a checkmate, so you can’t easily perform backward induction. But you can perform minimax (which is how Stockfish works): https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Minimax

From a game theory perspective chess is really not at all like an actual war, because the properties of the game are different in almost every conceivable way - not just because of perfect information. But, you can model more complex “games” like war in a way that makes them more similar to chess if you wish. Just be careful because ignoring very fundamental differences like the payoff model could greatly affect decision making - for war, you’d probably rather surrender or make minor concessions in most cases than win at the cost of 99% of your people and infrastructure getting destroyed.

I wonder if this shows we still lack insight in how LLMs actually work. There is something inside which appears to understand instructions and execute them, but it's unclear yet how exactly this "understanding instructions" works and how instructions are represented inside the network. If you don't know this, it's very hard to distinguish "instructions" from "non-instructions" in terms of inputs and outputs of the network.
