It's not whether Gbps is fast enough, it's that the egress traffic for the streaming provider costs a lot of money, and they do everything they can to serve 1080p or 4k content that is actually much lower in quality than what we expect.

A lot of scenes look very impressive until you start seeing artifacts and hearing poor sound.
Where's the common enterprise for BTC (or BCH, if you are one of those people who somehow thinks that BCH is a security but BTC isn't)?

Yep, in an extremely small handful of test subjects, and they were having huge problems with safety signals pretty much that whole time.

The mRNA vaccines are an abject failure, every jurisdiction which made heavy use of them has seen higher levels of excess deaths persist for far longer than would be expected after a pandemic runs its course.
I'm not surprised they're not losing more money as a whole. Opendoor bought a townhouse from us for twice what we paid in 2019 last fall. They ended up selling it this year for 90k less than they paid us. The agent at one point had about 50 home listings for Opendoor, all in the same situation.

I think the glut of AI powered home buying companies haven't been nearly as efficient. I do acknowledge that the rates haven't helped, but that's a lot of losses to write off. I bet this years numbers are even more lopsided.
Yes but you have that be the person in the safest seat.
IIRC when I subscribed to the dvd service 23 years ago or so you could actually browse a library. Maybe it’s an apple tv thing but browsing titles feels near impossible in today’s streaming world - especially on netflix.

Side note: would love to know my ltcv - almost an annuity at this point.
I want to say apply to any job that seems interesting since some of the best programmers I've worked with on embedded systems came from desktop & web backgrounds because they had a good grasp of modern development techniques as opposed to "hack & fix."

But those were systems where we abstracted away as much of the hardware as we could so everyone could focus on "business logic." The hardware interface is the part that's hardest to debug, so we try to put as little as possible into those layers.

Unfortunately, it sounds like that's exactly where you want to be working :-(

I have read the article. I was not criticizing Sveriges Radio's decision, but the AP's reporting.
Are you me? I cycle exactly like this. I only work in burst mode as well. completely useless between bursts.

I feel stressed out when I’m getting nothing done, but can’t bring myself to do anything. I always manage to get a new wind and get it done somehow.
Tracking a single session doesn't really worry me and I seriously doubt any law will stop it. What we want to do is prevent them correlating two sessions. With FF in full defensive mode. No canvas, restricted JS, deleted cookies I can at least make it hard for them.

I don't even care about all the dark patterns of now allowing you to dismiss and ignore with one click.

Thank you Europe
Same, the tooling makes a big difference when it comes to languages.

I'm a Dart developer by day, Rust enthusiast by night, both are relatively modern languages and the tooling just feels right (of course nothing is perfect): the analyzer, linter, testing, dependency management, lsp, formatter are all just there.

I never want to go back to 20-30 year old languages where, for all these tools, there are 10 different subpar solutions with three decades of baggage, history, and context (though, of course, congrats on the 1000x speed up).

Python, JavaScript, Java, C++, are all in this category, and honestly, even community favorites like TypeScript and Kotlin have similar warts.
Ditto. My local meetup.com is MLM, networking, pub crawls, new age mumbo jumbo, self-help/therapy, and niche demographics.

Where the hell are the normal people? Where can I find folks into morning jogs, woodworking, sailing, road trips, 3d printing, burritos, and international travel?
Yeah totally.

I think the main hurdle is just the fact that a DC circuit isn’t saving any significant money… But as a quality of life improvement, I could totally see this as a selling point for rural homes: 100% off-grid for everything except for heating/cooling. StarLink is pretty power hungry, but still, DC scales up pretty easily.

I remember reading about there being a difference between a typical generator and an inverter generator. Apparently inverter generators are newer and more fuel efficient… so it’s interesting that even generators output DC these days…
You're touching on something I've always been fascinated about...the game being the collection and building of the library itself. I suppose it's not that different from any other hobby centered around collectibles and yet with media, especially digital media, it always felt a bit different. I'm not sure why.
Is it a print of the vote that was cast, or generated separately from the cast? How do you know?
Does the `main()` function in GCC only do one thing? It compiles a program, that's one thing right? Alright, have fun writing an entire compiler in one function.

Besides, Bob Martin even mentions this in his book "Clean Code". Page 35:

> The problem with this statement is that it's hard to know what "one thing" is...

He finally concludes that a function is only doing one thing if:

> you can extract another function from it with a name that's not merely a restatement of its implementation.

Which is just dumb. Let's call our function `compileCProgram()`, well according to the second heuristic this is only doing one thing. Anyways, if even the guy who wrote the book about clean code admits that it hard to figure out what one thing is, I'm inclined to say you may be slightly disingenuous here.
I was wondering how the end of highly paid engineers like myself would come to an end. Maybe this is it.

Critical theory does not in fact "center discrimination against Black people at the center of the political universe".
Even worse: amortization under § 174 begins at the mid-point in the year in which the expense was incurred, so it's actually 1/10th salary expense in the first year (6/60 months).

I have a favor to ask HN: is there anyone going through this that would be willing to share a redacted version of their accounting change statement[0] required to comply with this law by Rev. Proc. 2023-11? It's not at all clear to me (not a CPA or tax lawyer, but normally perfectly capable of doing bookkeeping/accounting for my single-member LLC) how specific "(D) a description of the type of expenditures included as specified research or experimental expenditures" is supposed to be. I filed an extension today because I'm now second-guessing what I wrote; my Google-fu has thus far turned up zero examples of a CPA-blessed version of this statement. (Probably because one of the other statutory requirements is that it includes the taxpayer's identification number.)

I know nothing about this topic, But I think your accountant was talking about R&D tax credits, which is a different topic from R&D capitalisation and depreciation. The tax credits might be another reason why companies previously wanted to claim developers salaries as R&D.

The issue here seems to be that software development wages are now supposed to be treated as R&D per https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=35620164 combined with the fact the IRS wants R&D to be capitalised with a standard depreciation schedule.

Hopefully someone who is an accountant can ELI5 this all, because this topic is mostly basic accountancy. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=35614721 explains it a bit, but misses the ELI5 part about what amortisation/depreciation is.

A good example that is about building a thing rather than some software would help. Edit: Best example with good child comments so far: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=35615217

> What I'm concerned about is in the graph - why the hell are 46% of consumers using BNPL for "Clothing, Shoes, and Accessories"

My question is what % are they paying for financing.

I've financed several things with BNPL. Every time it was for 0%. At a time when inflation is whatever absurdly high number and banks are paying ~4% for cash deposits, not taking a 0% loan would be silly. It's free money and my bigger surprise is why aren't 100% of consumers financing everything.
What a cracking resource! When you need to get away from the beige web, a few clicks on Random Mode is all you need.
While in theory you are correct the reality is somewhat different. Individual mps are beholden to their local party and would hesitate to vote on anything that may endanger their position. Backbenchers have brought down 3 successive governments. There also exists an upper chamber and a high court to appeal to. It's mostly a pretty stable system.
Ok my story. I touched real a VAX/VMS system exactly once. Was working as a sysad at an aerospace concern in the mid 90s. There was an old curmudgeon scientist named Norm with a comb-over who so-far refused give up his VAX—much to the chagrin of the IT dept. :-D
He finally did, but not yet on this day.

I came in to his office one summer, probably to help with a Mac or PC, and was intrigued by the unique machine. He let me poke at it and look around. Not sure what I expected... some kind of mainframe kind of thing? To my surprise was a graphics terminal with the X Window system running along with the CDE desktop. Believe the main box was in a lab somewhere else. Kinda blew my mind because I had recently tried CDE out on a cheap Lintel PC I had in my office. Slackware? Maybe had seen it on a Sun as well. (Was a great place to work and learn, the "UN of computers" I called it.)

So it was familiar in that sense. Started up a character terminal and poked around. Had the crazy prompt [SYS$FOO...Bar] or something and verbose uppercase commands. Had versions numbers in the filenames after semi-colons. I think there was very good help system as well. In total, a fascinating combination of archaic sophistication.

Unfortunately, a lot of great ideas from the old days were lost in the drive to standardization. I think I preferred VMS' named volume approach also taken on Amiga, Netware, and limited in DOS/NT. (Been on Unixen for decades now, so don't hate the single root, but find it less obvious where I am.)

On the other hand, later I read ESR's take of VMS and it wasn't all that positive:

Choosing a language based on initial setup or Hello World is valuing the wrong things.

You set up an application once, write each line a few times, read it dozens of times, and run it millions of times.

The most costly part of that process is reading/rewriting because developer time is expensive.

Language choice should be optimized to make it easy to read other people's code and to prevent mistakes from getting into production. Python is not near the top of the pack in those dimensions.

You answered your own question — the future is too uncertain to give you a great answer to that question. Suppose you go to college and hit the job market at 22. You’re trying to predict 6 years out, which is really hard.

Knowledge isn’t meaningless. It’ll never be meaningless. Or rather, there will always be experts, it’s just not clear in what and how many. Stay agile and get good at something you see as there being a demand for one day. This probably isn’t something that there’s demand for today. You have to use your imagination a bit, but you can’t really go wrong with mastering basically anything. You always learn. Make sure you do something you can be passionate in and hold interest in. Focus goes a long way. You will, after enough time of navigating this, have accrued a very unique set of skills that can be crossed with one another to solve very interesting problems. You’ll always do well if you can be a good problem solver.

>The author clearly has not spent much time developing modern C/C++ - the various pragmas, implementation details, and "here be dragons" quirks of undefined behaviour in msvc, gcc, and clang differ _greatly_.

They do, however I find in day-to-day use I either (1) find the similar feature/syntax/pragma/etc once, and then use that everywhere (or abstract it away in a header file etc.), or (2) use something like boost, which hides lots of implementation-specific details from me.

There's no doubt that working through these issues has cost me time and some of my remaining hair, however :)

I don’t find that astonishing at all. I can’t see how you’d disambiguate someone who is anonymous for good versus bad reasons. Not supporting the death of the anonymous internet, but it’s not happening because of incompetence.

According to https://www.counterterrorism.police.uk/wp-content/uploads/20... point 59, it's legal for UK authorities to get information from electronic devices, and the device owner must unlock the device for the authorities.

So, in the context of this UK-focused article, you're giving people advice on how to evade a search that, in the UK, is legal.

Instead, I would suggest advocating for UK people and businesses to change the law.
checking correctness of things like factorization is easier than factoring in the first place.
But in your examples, the last stressed vowel and the unstressed one, both match: reacher, teacher. Therefore I don't follow your comment.

There is a kind of assonance (or whatever) in English where the stressed one can differ. The juxtaposition of such words or endings can sound good. For instance "pitter-patter". This can be exploited to create a near rhyme, like my teacher and catcher verse.

Moreover, if it is the unstressed one that doesn't match, that is no longer the case. We cannot rhyme "teacher" with "teapot" as line endings.

The Wikipedia page:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Perfect_and_imperfect_rhymes

states the same conditions you have given for perfect rhyme: stressed vowel and following unstressed, if any, are a match. Then it goes into the exceptions.
Intel came to the foundry business late too, but that hasn't stopped them from dumping billions into trying to compete with TSMC and Samsung

I've never really known what to make of this concern.

We plan to some day colonize the moon itself. How much should we be concerned about how it will effect isolated Amazonian and Papuan tribes when the moon is lit up with a hundred points of light on the dark-crescent side as the phases shift, and one can make out the twinkle of ion drives or torch ships crisscrossing from lunar to Earth orbits? Enough to never colonize the moon?
Yes I’m sure the EU’s answer to an over complicated 99 section 11 chapter law - passing yet another law - will work out really well this time.
Why not? Don't you think that axiom will have to be retired sooner or later?
That's my position as well.

Even if we just look at it from a hedonistic perspective. I play games to be happy and destress. Windows' abusiveness and anticheat software make me unhappy and/or stressed. For pure hedonism I'm better off with Proton and a smaller selection of games.
The zero interest rate and quantitative easing was available to non SV companies, though, and they went through much milder bubbles. There's definitely something specific about tech mania.

And now AI company will hoover up the talent, maybe the monetary and fiscal policies will slow that bubble down a bit.
Sure, I realize it's unsuccessful at using vitest because it's (relatively) new.

I'm just saying, this was a really telling example of how to use it for prompting.

A very large chunk of the tools I use in Javascript-land are "too new" for ChatGPT to work with properly.

Giving context unfortunately doesn't really work as ChatGPT usually prioritizes what it's absorbed through the corpus over anything you tell it.

To be clear, it does fine with new information if the things you ask it for don't match token sequences it's already been trained on, so if you give it a fictional library and ask it to perform some task with it, that doesn't seem too much like the things it might do with another library that accomplishes a similar thing with a similar API, it will actually use the custom code more successfully.

But for Vitest, it can't accept enough of the docs you might provide for it to be useful to you (though admittedly, sometimes it will show how to do something with jest that at least makes finding the right thing in vitest easier).

By the way, if you are planning to switch over in the future, the path for doing that is seemingly well documented by vitest and seems to be pretty straightforward as well, though I haven't meaningfully used Jest for comparison

edit: to be clear, I'm very impressed with ChatGPT's capabilities, and I think there are good examples of prompting where it does meaningful work in tandem with the human driver exercising their own judgment.

This was an example of a person asking it for things while not pointing out its limitations, which downplays the extent to which one needs to exercise one's judgment when using it. If they failed to point out the things ChatGPT got wrong which I know about, why would I trust that the other things I don't know it got wrong are accurate.
Silly question: how can a GPU be RISC-V? Isn't RISC-V a normal "scalar" ISA with some moderate vector extensions at best?
A lot of people don’t care. More than once I changed the setting on my parent’s television to stop stretching SD channels to fill the wide screen. They didn’t care. Nor did they care that every SD channel had an HD channel and all they had to do was add 100 to the channel number (or something like that).

Compression artifacts bug me as well but if I’m watching something great, I forget about them pretty quickly. Same goes for black and white movies or foreign movies with subtitles. If it’s good, that all disappears.
.NET is a phenomenal alternative to Django with excellent tooling, ecosystem, and performance.

I think the only irreplaceable part of the Python ecosystem at the moment is the math/stats/NN stuff. I wouldn't hire a data scientist who refused to learn Python, but I would hire a web dev who refused to learn it.
This may sound odd but I would recommend a trade that cannot be easily replaced by AI. Something like an electrician or roofer. Then try to get an apprenticeship with an older professional and learn as much as you can. Skip college completely and just start a business instead. You will be so much better off financially compared to say, a lawyer who will be in debt for a while and who’s job is about to be made obsolete by AI.
Which agency is this from? 30% is an insanely low indirect rate. My experience comes dominantly from DoD SBIR, where for Phase I's you propose your own indirect rate.

But yes, this law is awful for SBIR companies, because we're forced to give a giant out of pocket interest-free loan back to the gov
> Today anyone born in a Western Democracy has access to basic needs -- food, shelter, knowledge without having to do anything.

I'm sorry but this is just not true. The US has ~600k homeless people, the UK had over 2 million people make use of food banks last year (up from ~25k in 2008), and almost all Western nations are seeing metrics around quality of life decline. This isn't AI's doing of course, but we are not in a worry-free position here. Western European countries have a good/decent social safety net, but the Anglo-sphere is far less generous to its poor.

> I can't find a decent plumber, lawn mower, handyman or a doctor. If the economic incentives pushes artists to acquire skills that are useful to society then we should accelerate that process rather than artificially propping up their skills with debt we can't service.

Retraining in midlife is no easy task, and especially so for doctors. Becoming a doctor entails taking on massive amounts of medical school debt and extremely brutal hours until you hit residency. It's a path that is only reasonable for the dedicated and the young, not for a non medical professional like a musician or software engineer in their mid 30s and over.

As for plumbers, yard work, house work, electricians, etc, yes I agree those won't be easily automated away and they don't have the financial up front cost of a medical profession. But there are >25 million office workers (https://www.bls.gov/emp/tables/emp-by-detailed-occupation.ht... between the Management occupations, Business and financial operations occupations, and Computer and mathematical occupations buckets) in this country who are at short term risk of being automated away. If GPT-[X] fulfills the hype, then let's say half of those jobs go away quickly due to a 100% gain in per worker productivity. That becomes 13 million unemployed people and an unemployment rate over 11% (2008 peaked at 10.6%). That becomes a major recession or depression rather quickly.

And as always for people in positions of privilege telling those under the boot to just change their profession, you first. Quit your cushy software job and help fix the labor shortage you see in plumbing.
Why do ships use “port” and “starboard” instead of “left” and “right?”

Just because you don't have the issue doesn't mean it's non-existent. We went from 8ish seconds with flake8 to tens of milliseconds with ruff. Ruff can just run as a pre-commit hook because it's so fast.

I for one have stopped using flake8 in favour of ruff because of both speed and the huge amount of supported rules in ruff already.
