My tentative conclusion is that these people know something about human nature that we don't.

I have a friend who runs a small e-commerce business and is largely non-technical. I've found that I couldn't ever do the same because I don't think like he does.

Apparently the average person is way less grumpy than I am about things like right to repair or planned obsolescence.

Case in point: to him an e-book reader is just an appliance, like a dishwasher, which performs a specific function. He doesn't care that he can't upload whatever file to the device because he would never use that feature.
There's a legend below the picture. Do you mean cacao beans?
But also the technique of leavening using natural yeast has been known for thousands of years; it pre-dates the Romans, who definitely used it in their regular bread.

I'd say that running a bakery under those conditions: i.e. would always be yeast around and there is no refrigeration, so for any given dough it's a question of when, not if, a given piece of dough will start to rise.
You forgot Windows which is bundled with every Laptop sold even if the user does not want it.

And the scary part with Microsoft is not how much share they have in each individual part, but that they have a big part of almost every field in computing.

And they cross sell and force you to use all the other crap if you already use one or two of it.
Which isn’t really surprising/weird because all light is emitted by something. That something has a signature thanks to physics: the photons of light are emitted according to the structure of the atom. Basically.

Of course it’s a tad more nuanced. Emitted light has a signature, and things that absorb light can also impart their own signature.
I was hired by Travelocity a bazillion years ago as a designer. They could hire designers easily but they couldn’t hire competent front end developers at all as those such people were purple unicorns. One day they told me I am now a developer and I just had to figure it out. I bought a book about the DOM and taught myself how to program JavaScript from the perspective of data structures, tree models, and existing standard APIs. I taught myself to write code in the style of JSLint because at the time it was the only static analysis for the language and stressed safety over convenience.
Sure, but why bother paying databricks for that? By default you'll be running 3+ machines while doing all your work in memory on the master node. It's just so very, very silly.

TQt3 (TDE's Qt3 fork) uses X graphics primitives and the X render extension (if available), both of which are hardware accelerated on modern Xorg via GLAMOR (OpenGL-based 2D graphics acceleration) - at least for the open source drivers which are part of Xorg (i don't know if Nvidia's proprietary driver uses it but chances are if not, they're using their own 2D accelerated graphics anyway), so it shouldn't spend more time pushing pixels around than anything else that uses a HW accelerated API.
I definitely believe PF/Netfilter is the way forward, I just don't have the experience with it yet.

I'd love to build a BSD based router/firewall in a declarative manner/source controlled configuration on top of a vanilla OS, I just don't have the time (specifically network downtime for the home, family) to play with it.

> A simple example might be the problem of "pick a color".

People still underestimate the power of LLMs. You ask it to show you a color picker, it generates HTML code for a color picker, you copy that into your browser and you can pick your color, which you can then copy&paste back into the LLM for further processing.

This already works and no human had to code a color picker into ChatGPT for this (and this is why LLMs are scary).

More broadly speaking I find the idea of "LLM apps" a bit problematic, it's basically the modern Microsoft Bob. The LLM itself is already the most powerful app you can think of. Trying to hide it with a UI that looks a little more than what you are already familiar with is removing its expressive power.

>> There are no better examples than Stable Diffusion prompts.

StableDiffusion prompts are a terrible example for the power of modern LLMs, as StableDiffusion has extremely primitive understanding of language, unlike ChatGPT. With StableDiffusion you are really just laying keywords and concepts together hoping that something interesting will happen. The moment you ask it for anything even remotely complex it falls apart. Ask it to generate "blue hair" and it might give you blue hair, but it will also paint random other objects in the image blue. Even simple attributes don't stick to the objects you assigned them to. Complex actions or expressions don't work at all. You have to use ControlNet, in-painting and other tricks to create complex images. The language model of StableDiffusion just can't handle it and the image generation itself is also lacking in generalization (i.e. you need custom trained models for specific styles or topics). It also doesn't allow the iterative refinement that you can do in ChatGPT, you only get a single prompt.

Prompt engineering is a short term workaround for the limitations of the current models. But that is going away. After all you have a LLM at your finger tips and guess what that's good for: generating text, which includes prompts.
I tried this twice, first time failed in stage 1... second time I got it all built but didn't build the kernel or boot loader...

Just want to say - I received mine yesterday. I was expecting it to be held up in customs but it arrived with no hassle whatsoever via the postal service.

I got the presoldered version, kind of expecting it to be 100% assembled, but it was even better that I had to to "plug" the sensors and microcontroller in! It made me feel like I had achieved something myself, and gave an appreciation of how it works :)

The quality of the product looks excellent - inside and out. Although maybe some snap-in transparent plastic in front of the display would protect it from accidental damage? Not that there is any reason to ever touch it, so I guess its not really that important. It certainly doesnt detract from the overall build quality.

A minor niggle on adding the sensor to the online app - i didn't get any feedback that it had added, and when i tried a second time it told me that it was already added. Also, I cant see a way to add/edit places other than creating the one during setup. Probably a few other minor UX niggles I can send an email if desired? But overall it looks great!

I am very interested to see how the air quality changes during the next kiln firings. Thanks!

I don't think they see it the same way. At least not given that instructions in the style GP mentions:

have meme status among designers, and not in a positive way. Some years ago, when I hanged out with a couple designers, I was introduced to Facebook groups exchanging examples of "briefs" and rework requests. Groups with names like "what the psyche of a graphic designer endures".

Stripped of all the banter, I'd say their complaints are the same as ours: vague requirements coming from people who don't know what they want. And like with software, "good results" come as much in spite of, as thanks to, natural language communication.

There's a number of kind of obvious reasons for that belief.

Firstly the people who are mandating RTO want to think of themselves as high performers. They want RTO so "high performers want RTO" is obvious to them.

Secondly a lot of non-doing managers want to be able to justify their existance. To do that they need people in the office to distract by walking around and having conversations etc. They can't do this when people are just WFH doing deep work.

Thirdly, if they know a manager wants RTO, then people who want to suck up to that manager will say they want RTO and will come in to the office to actively suck up to the manager. The manager will see these sycophants as high performers because they are spending their time fluffing the ego of the aformentioned manager.
here's an idea that will never be implemented because of the paranoia of communism but that i think would be the most beneficial for society. why not create a government controlled non profit for producing out-of-patent drugs? it wouldn't hurt big pharma, it will substantially improve the life of the poor and chronically ill, reduce overall cost of healthcare, create strategic production in case of emergencies, can be a stepping stone to the healthcare as a human right.
I find him a bit abrasive even though I enjoy his videos (and actually submitted this a couple days ago).

It's alot of cool work, but the way he presents it to laymen is kind of annoying. Even if he had never heard of data orientated design in the original video series (where he claims to not know what its called when you organise data to improve throughput) he should by now because clearly he does huge amounts of research. (Case in point at 9:30[0] he talks about localised memory patterns as though he's the first to come up with it).

Again, love his work, watch every video and even submit to HN because I think others would. But that doesn't mean he's not very annoying.

Is the huggingface website/hub API itself open-source? That would be a good place to start for people who are interested but don't know a lot about ML. Plus it's some nice goodwill gesture that helps the "brand" in the circles it's talked about.
I guess you have never had to come in and solve a bad situation that has arisen specifically due to the bad short term decisions someone made in the past.

Not all tech debt is bad, as long as it is recognized when being created and gets accounted for in near future planning. That way it is a deliberate decision taken, after weighing pros and cons, knowing it will need to be dealt with at some point.

The worst of these is when those making the decisions don't know as much as they think they do, forgo weighing pros and cons, and paint them selves into a corner by accident.

Those kinds of situations can literally kill a company (and have).
are we talking about views drake or scorpion drake, i prefer the latter.
IMHO it's more like a case of getting invented in many places because it still needs to be invented and people are inventing it in very different forms.

You have the French/German Flammkuchen, which is an amazingly good version that I don't know why it's not widely known.

There's Lahmacun, which is the "Turkish Pizza" - a lot more spicy and thin version with minced meat with spice as topping. There's also Pide, which is thicker and closer to Italian pizza but the shape and the toppings are quite different(cubed meat, egg).

Then there are the American pizza types like Chicago-style that look significantly different than the Italian ones.

The one on the fresco looks like the Italian version.
I think “most” is pulling a lot of work there. I make and process csvs a lot, and just avoid quotes when generating them.

Sure technically you can do things like having new lines on a line which cause all sorts of grief, but if you control the end to end workflow just avoid it.

I have a tool which monitors performance of loading various websites via various proxies at various points ok our network with pupetteer. That outputs a csv which I can then extract data from and make handy graphs to show manglement.
A thing Python's csv module enables that many others don't is ragged CSVs (column numbers not all same).
Changing databases on an existing application doesn't happen, but I've worked across teams within a single company for ~8 years and in that time I've used:

1. SQL Server

2. MySQL

3. Neo4j (very briefly)

4. PostgreSQL

5. DynamoDB

Each of those was for a different set of applications, and none of those applications changed database, but point being sometimes an engineer will be made to use a variety of databases in their career, even sometimes within the same company (although you could also chalk this up to a particularly laissez-faire style of tech direction).
I think I see your argument, are you saying that because the scanning involves transforming the content into a hash and comparing to a set of hashes, the problem is that this is resistant to third-party analysis? Not because of the overall behaviour of the scanner or indeed any other software on the device, which can be reverse-engineered using standard techniques, but because a database of hashes is inherently opaque as to the content it will match with?

> As an engineering manager...

> unbiased opinion

If the engineering manager after putting so much effort into switching to Rust, and trying to convince upper levels, putting their head at risk and after busting balls for months to make everyone learn Rust, comes into the office one day and asks if we love Rust, we the 77% that want to keep our jobs would answer "OF COURSE WE DO!!!!! COULDN'T BE HAPPIER!!!", with a big smile.
Great tip, thank you.
Let’s not make this discussion so rust-specific — panics are not used that way in rust for a reason. But exceptions (especially checked exceptions like in java) don’t have that problem, and are exact analogues to Result types. The point is, some way or another that parse function can fail and you may want to handle it. The caller can easily decide that from afar.

This is not true of async/blocking — there can be semantic differences between two, otherwise equivalent implementations, and it is a recursive problem as I mentioned — how should an async-block-async call chain work exactly? Java can decide it at runtime, while rust with its tradeoffs meaningfully can’t - but it is a net negative tradeoff in its case.

Air quality is something I've been thinking about more and more. I'm currently mostly in Bangkok and now I check the air quality (aqair) before I exercise outdoors, and often end up skipping. Though I haven't looked into it deeply, I'd love to see some trustworthy conclusions about how I'm affecting my future health by living in Bangkok. I've really come to miss the Pacific Northwest partly because of the clean air (except, of course, during the wildfire seasons)

I'm building a house in Bangkok and up in Chiang Mai of all places (see the company is from there) and was thinking of adding some air quality sensors there so will definitely check airgradient's out.

If I may ask Achim, do you manufacture in Thailand? What kind of scale you at? No promises, but I have access to some decent sized factories and given your mission, there might be something we can help with.

Even an "industry standard" framework can get in the way. Given the constraints of executing efficient queries; handling errors and timeouts on the application's terms; and enforcing concurrency and transaction handling policies even a "good" ORM can be more a problem than a solution.
Somebody has to serve you at restaurant, stack shelves at store and about gazillion other jobs that are done physically at location, or they are not done at all. Such claims are so desperately out of touch with reality its a bit sad. There will always be traffic in the cities.

Or do you want police or ambulances or surgeons to also work remotely?
I only have experience with EF from C# + LINQ and I was very, very happy using it. The query language is insanely good. Just to have statically typed queries was a total godsend. Ad-hoc projections which lead to optimized SQL. It literally has saved me days, maybe even weeks of work. Sure sometimes you need to fallback on raw SQL. But that was less then 1% of cases for me.
That was a separate sponsor! This month has been weird, to say the least :)
Linus Torvalds Takes on a Patch: “I Relax by Playing with Inline Assembly”
This thread only underscores the total mindshare dominance of ORMs. The implicit alternative to ORMs in almost every comment is raw sql in string literals in app code.

For 6 years now, we've had tools that let you use sql as a language, then generate the wrapper exposing your query to your app as a method. (queryfirst, pgtyped, pugsql, sqlc) This is (or could be) a paradigm shift. It's clearly, demonstrably a superior way of working, but it exists on the fringes because ORMs (and this unchanging discussion) have sucked all the oxygen.

Yeah, the productivity and performance with the Django ORM is amazing. I have trouble using any other web framework now...

The thing people are missing is relations. The most important aspect of your application is how data is related to each other. A good ORM makes that easy.

Along with the other suggestions, if Shopify were looking to build a POS (point of sale) device - a "Shopify terminal" - on low cost low power hardware then Labybird could be a good fit for the UI.

There are other browser engines targeted at this sort of embedded product, and ladybird obviously isn't specifically targeting it. But it may be a good play due to licensing and royalties if they expect to build millions of them.

Another could be to build a WYSIWYG rich text editor. Obviously a lot of Shopifys front end is about point and click building a store visually. "contenteditable" based editors are a nightmare of browser inconsistencies and bugs. If you could compile Ladybird to WASM and render to a html canvas, you could side step all that with your existing editor, only having to target one "browser".

I've not seen anyone do that yet, but I think it's a really compelling use case.

(Accessibility of canvas based UIs is still an unsolved problem though)
