For critical stuff that is not instantaneous, it's good to have both automated and human communication/confirmation. In this case, the automation is equipment throughout the grid that can disconnect a line if it falls too far out of compliance (for example, frequency drops too low, due to a sudden increase in load). As mentioned elsewhere, huge consumers get their own substation, and such equipment can be placed there.

You also have people who are drilled in following procedures, especially when failures in process become very public.

I generally disagree with this. I tend to find communities and either (1) engage in them immediately (because they're interesting) (2) forget about them forever.

Most of my community recommendations come either as referrals from other sites or happy accidents. I rarely join a community simply to lurk on it.

If the existing code is old-school enough to use thousands of global variables in a thread-unsafe way, seems like changing it enough to compile as safe Rust code would push the "non-trivial" envelope pretty far.
"The only people that are against drugs have either never tried them or couldn't handle them" - Bill Hicks
Here is the main reason:

Any sufficiently advanced software has deep structure and implementation. It isn’t like a poet who can just bullshit some rhymes and make others figure out what they mean.

The computer program expects some definite inputs which it exposes as an API eg a headless CMS via HTTP.

Similar with an organization that can provide this or that servicd or experience.

Therefore given this rigidity, the input has limited options at every step. And a GUI can gracefully model those limitations. A natural language model will make you think there is a lot of choice but really it will boil down to a 2018-era chatbot that gives you menus at every step and asks whether you want A, B or C.

Microdosing doesn’t seem well supported, and I guess some people have varying definitions of what is or is not a psychedelic, but lots of legitimate medical uses are more and more well supported. Anything that can help with PTSD and addiction, for example, should be allowed for supervised therapeutic use.
I understand where you're coming from, but as the parent of someone in the field of pharmaceutical research they have a different view.

First, human beings aren't Guinea pigs. Yes, the FDA is slow - for damn good reasons. We didn't use to do things this way and then we changed it to fix problems. There are reasons things are the way they are and it's very well-understood in the medical field. Medicine is not a move fast and cause pain and suffering kind of field or move fast and kill people kind of field. They're very conservative.

Two, since human beings aren't Guinea pigs when we do do experiments on them with drugs that have been through a very thorough and extensive pipeline already, they're looking for very specific things. This tends to make a very small population of patients eligible for a trial.

Three, trials are expensive. These aren't drugs that have been scaled-out in production. The costs tend to be exceedingly exorbitant. The medical field is very well aware of the inelastic demand for their services and this opens up new avenues for the unscrupulous to prey on people. Like the used to do in the "good ol' days."

Finally, the fact the treatment you would like to pursue is still "stuck" in clinical trials is indicative they're not convinced of the efficacy of the treatment. I can tell you lots of "promising" treatments never make it out of clinical trials. That's the nature of the beast. Most ideas are dead-ends.

My advice? Don't chase unicorns. Sadly, I've watched too many people in my family die while chasing unicorns and getting obsessed with treatments that are in trial. There are always treatments in trial. Live your life and enjoy what time you have to the fullest.
I have a similar experience here in MA. Our town owns the power company as a non-profit and we have amazing service. We never lose power unless someone crashes into a pole or something, and even then it's only out for a short amount of time. When we have a big winter storm and all the surrounding communities on the large providers tend to be dark for days or longer, whereas here any outages are fixed quickly. They actually go around and trim trees off the lines to prevent future outages.
This is great. I often come across some HN post on a topic I am interested in and then want to go look at other posts in the same topic cluster to expand my exposure. This looks awesome for that.

I don't know if it would be useful or even work, but is it possible to let the user adjust the vector distance threshold and then apply the other sorting parameters to the results? Eg. if I want to go broader, but then sort by high score or something so I see popular posts within an expanded (but still relevant) cluster?
While it was initially meant as user interface layer of sorts, I think, it's not really something that the typical user can be expected to know nowadays.

Battery life – a core feature and differentiator for Apple devices which is also highlighted in their marketing.

> All the successful people have a different story. And your definition of success can vary greatly. But to say society is making success impossible is simply untrue - I see so much opportunity and so many upcoming people all the time.

There is a difference between "anyone can" and "everyone can at the same time".

The economy grows only a few percent a year. That means the society as a whole is an almost-zero-sum game. In the long term, things will get better. But in the time scale relevant to individual success, they remain mostly the same. If you are successful, most of that success is at the expense of other people. The majority can't be successful at the same time.

Taking the premise rather literally, it would mean, for example, that the DNA of the organism would be typical for a member of its species on Earth. The odds of hundreds of millions of bits of genetic information coincidentally being the same are, if you'll pardon the expression, astronomical.
It's the best license because choosing anything else means enriching corporations for free. I've come to think of open source software as just a wealth transfer from developers to corporations at the former's expense. It just makes no rational sense to release code that isn't free as in freedom. It's either that or fully copyrighted, all rights reserved.

If a disease at a certain well defined stage has a 100% fatality rate after 6 months, why would you need a double blind trial if some patients are still alive 1 year after taking your drug ?

The causality is pretty clear and while you might not claim that it double the life expectancy it would IMHO be immoral not to fast track the approval of that drug.

First of all, disabuse yourself of the notion that people whose official title is "product manager" are any better than you are at "product thinking". I've worked in companies from startup to FAANG, and maybe it's just my dumb luck, or that the organizations as a whole were dysfunctional, but most PMs I've encountered have been shockingly mediocre at executing the core functions of a PM. This is, after all, why engineers like you and me end up being called on so often to handle PM responsibilities that aren't in our official job description.

I would +1 dr_zaius' comment about taking ownership. A big part of product thinking is just literally... thinking about the product as a whole. Caring about the whole thing, not just your piece of it. Ask people why something was done the way it was. Speak up and ask questions and give feedback in meetings, even when it doesn't seem like it's "in your lane". Especially in an early-stage startup, never let yourself think "that's not my job". When I was doing a hybrid eng/product role in a startup, on any given day I might be meeting with upper management to discuss the product roadmap; with legal to discuss patent applications; with sales and professional services to get feedback and feature requests from customers; with accounting to align on the complexities of our pricing model; and of course with engineering to actually guide implementation. Your role may not call for that broad level of involvement, but just remember that your value as a senior engineer or a "product thinker" is enhanced by that flexibility.

Since you've also gotten some specific feedback ("my PRDs could be clearer and better articulated"), obviously act on that. Get more detailed feedback and suggestions about how to do that. Run your PRDs by other people early on -- and from across the spectrum of people that matter, from the business stakeholders to engineers.

Find opportunities to talk to users (or if you haven't launched yet, potential users). Tag along on sales calls. Volunteer to handle customer support rotations. If people throw up obstacles in the way of your doing this, that's a big red flag, and something that needs to be addressed organizationally, or at least squared with the feedback you got to become a better product thinker. Understanding users and their domain is at the core of product thinking, but reading and online research can only go so far. The specific tactics here will differ depending on the type of product and market you're in. A hyperscale consumer web product will be different from a hardware product, and those from a B2B enterprise SaaS product. Understand which type you have and tailor your approach.

Also, check out Ken Norton's blog: https://www.bringthedonuts.com/blog/. He's one of the most highly respected product thinkers in Silicon Valley.
You can make it more terrible (but still Turing complete) by removing `toss` and `return`, since you have conditional catches. Just nest enough catches so that when you throw the execution will start again and skip over any unnecessary code.

He still sells out huge stadiums all over the globe, so at the very least he’s getting his point of view communicated to a much larger audience than most people could manage, so potential influence.
Good approach.

I would add to keep your manager apprised of the findings, plans for improvement, and risk mitigation should the team member decide to leave.

You should also make your mind up how much disalignment the team can stomach and when you draw the line in working with that person.

And talk to HR. The good ones have tools & coaching for how to handle such cases. The mediocre can at least advise on what to document in case you later decide to dismiss the person.
You know the situation in Central Europe from direct experience, for me it's more abstract.

I do not rule out that I am wrong and that a tolerable agreement with Russia is not possible.

But then the problem of defeating a nuclear-armed state remains.

The few pacifist-minded people like me are not relevant anyway. But it is relevant that the West ultimately does not want nuclear war, and also avoids sending troops. The support is enough for a long bloody war, the outcome is uncertain, I am pessimistic.

I agree: this is not planned betrayal (though there is some cynicism) but may end catastrophically anyway.
SQL and XSLT are declarative, but the outputs are clean and intuitive. The data model and data set are probably well understood, as is the mapping to and from the query.

AI is a very different type of declarative. It's messy, difficult to intuit, has more dimensionality, and the outputs can be signals rather than tabular data records.

It rhymes, but it doesn't feel the same.

The 1600s are not really considered medieval. The middle ages are mostly considered to have ended with the reformation.
For those more familiar with Java, this looks like this is very similar to Java's try-with-resources:

static String readFirstLineFromFile(String path) throws IOException {
try (FileReader fr = new FileReader(path);
BufferedReader br = new BufferedReader(fr)) {
return br.readLine();
}
}

Instead of defining a function with Symbol.dispose, you have to implement the java.io.Closeable interface.

Java has had this since, cough cough 2014.

The article fails to grasp the essence of what UI is actually about. I agree that AI is adding a new layer to UI and UX design. In our work [1] we have seen an increase in AI projects or features the last 12 months (for obvious reasons).

However, the way that AI will contribute to better UI is to remove parts of the Interface. not simply giving it a new form.

Let me explain, the ultimate UI is no UI. In a perfect scenario, you think about something (want pizza) and you have it (eating pizza) as instant as you desire.

Obviously this isn’t possible so the goal of Interface design is to find the least amount of things needed to get you from point A to the desired Destination as quickly as possible.

Now, with AI, you can start to add a level of predictive Interfaces where you can use AI to remove steps that would normally require users to do something.

If you want to design better products with AI, you have to remember that product design is about subtracting things not adding them. AI is a technology that can help with that.

Search engines like Google + countless websites outshine LLMs, and they've been around for a good 20 years. What's the added value of an LLM that you can't get with Google coupled with the internet?

Oh, yes, websites like HN, Reddit & forums create spaces where you can ask experts for targeted advice. People >> GPT, we already could ask the help of people before we met GPT-4. You can always find someone available to answer you online, and it's free.

It is interesting to notice that after 20 years of "better than LLM" resources available for free there was no job crash.
Yeah, most of my use cases involve Ruby in some way or another, with a little bit of C/C++ testing (comparing/contrasting the MSVC and more open source compilers). Ruby is the only language I can never get to work properly "raw" on Windows, it makes far too many Linux-based assumptions and lacks a lot of cross-platform niceties that for instance Python and Node more regularly provide out of the box. It's mostly been random Ruby tools I've seen crash to syscall oddities. (It manages to keep my expectations low for results from Ruby tools in general.)

(In regard to your WSL2 VPN issue, that seems to be expected given it is running in a VM. It's possibly just as simple as enrolling the network interface WSL2 is using like you would any other Hyper-V network interface for your VPN. To my understanding, it should be auto-bridged to your main network interface, but is still its own network interface and some VPN software is too smart for its own good and ignores Windows' bridges to charge more. If so, it may even be likely your tickets are just languishing in the "won't fix" of "please pay us more to upgrade to a SKU that 'better' supports VMs", ie "a SKU that doesn't intentionally ignore VM network interfaces, because we can charge for that".)

Oracle also uses a process model on Linux. At some point (I think starting with 12.x), it can now be configured on Linux to use a threaded model, but the default is still a process-per-connection model.

Why does everybody think it's a bad thing in Postgres, but nobody thinks it's a bad thing in Oracle.
