Computations along novel curved beam configurations have to be correct, 400 m deep billion dollar / annum mine stope angles need to be both aggressive and safe, et al.

Often there's not as much competition as might be in other domains, and while profitability pays the bills the real onus is on the production of provably correct software (to the greatest degree practical).

There's a fine line between shortest path first and most certain path first. It's tempting to jump in and do the things you know for sure how they will work – these are the things with the lowest need for exploration. Early-stage, you should focus on the things that are most uncertain, the things that have a chance of dooming the entire project if you don't understand them better.

You can still take the shortest path while focusing on the most uncertain first, but it is another concern that needs to be prioritised.
I also do not see a good reason providers should mitigate this because we work well within the rate limit. Users already do this for services they care about if you do not natively support webhooks. DigitalOcean provides a URL to poll to know when your resources are fully provisioned.

My M1 Macbook Pro is feeling really slow at the moment. I can usually track it down to either:

1. Too many tabs open in Firefox (not sure where to pin the blame here)
2. Some weird interaction between Jetbrains Rider and Unity that has high CPU

I really don't want to switch to Safari because I move between PC and Mac a lot.
A self-referencing comment?

If your task is to complete an exhaustive statistical survey on the issue, perhaps you're right, the comment is too vague.

If your intent is (as the parent's was) to contribute to a conversation by giving an opinion on what you observe happening to US journalism industry, with some example cases to illustrate the point, it's fine.
Iirc it gets downcycled, not recycled. You can't make bottles out of it anymore, it goes into textiles or something. And that's in the highly optimistic case in which it makes it to a recycling center, which doesn't happen for 80% of plastic.

> Google can prevent the slow decay of the internet into AI hell by simply de-listing such garbage

Google has caused this problem by rewarding blogspam with high search rankings. Maybe they're trying to fix that, I don't know -- but if they are, they've already failed for at least a decade now.
At their current pricing, about 10k paying users would get them 600K/year in revenue. Which is what they just raised. Enough for a small team and modest infrastructure. You don't need a lot to serve 600K users.

All they need to do is nail enough value add for those users. The wider goal of disrupting Google/Bing is a different game. But getting a small company to 10K paying users might be doable given enough of a value add.

Of course they are based in the Bay area, so this kind of money doesn't have a huge runway there.
I don't know about pay now button but given the loads of problems I had with paypal last year I just stopped using it.

Last year, 9/10 purchases failed causing me to wait for money to be returned for almost a week each time.

The last time was a hotel reservation in the order of a 4 digits euros.
Also search is now kinda in the strategic inflection point where Google has to change so it will create opportunities for smaller players.
Yeah, there's a lot of truth in this, and it matches my experience, with the caveat that the 3-4 guys need to stay very clear eyed and pragmatic with their technology choices. Kind of covered by the "talented" part but I've seen so many otherwise talented people fall into holes because of this, and I'd guess it applies doubly for building a search engine.

For context, you're reading this on Hacker News, a forum hosted by YC.

What Google didn't tell you is that SAFEs were invented by YC ten years ago in order to provide better angel/seed investing framework than the then-current bespoke convertible notes.

You can read all about it here: https://www.ycombinator.com/documents/

"Accredited investor" is basically someone who is supposed to be sophisticated enough that they won't first give you (a startup) some money, then later on say they didn't know that your startup was risky and sue you. Accepting investments only from accredited investors is a way to shield yourself from that scenario.

Both terms are used fairly often on HN (and really throughout the startup communities anywhere).
Actually they heard it cracking on each dive, but there was less each time so they assumed the problem was going away.
This approach of "things being fast enough" leads to everything being slightly slow - we literally had better usability and latency on our devices in the 90s than we have now. It all adds up.
> because you don’t build on the PoC

Ah yes, I remember that idea. Naturally we shipped the proof of concept.

Also "it is known" that rewrites from scratch are bad things, so it got iterated on instead of replaced.

Based on the internal architecture of other software I've seen I think this is a relatively popular development strategy.
Just RTT - it downloads the whole webpage content (equivalent of running curl <url>)

I run the checks via AWS Lambda for now, might put it somewhere more stable like Hetzner/DigitalOcean for better accuracy.
Still this is a different kind of contract.

A bonus (or other forms of incentives) are additional to the base salary.

Until you are fired (or if the company does not pay your wage anymore) your salary/wage is fixed, and you get it no matter how the company is going.

Indeed. I have an M2 Max MacBook Pro with 64GB and holy shit this thing just doesn't break a sweat for even heavy workload and is still small enough to be my every day laptop I can take with me to do basic work on when I travel about.

I used to need a big desktop/workstation for "real work" and had an ultrabook for all the related admin stuff that I like to do out of the office for sanity. Two machines isn't difficult to manage but it can be a bit annoying. Having one machine that can do everything without compromise is a dream.

Not to mention this one MacBook Pro, while expensive, is still cheaper than what I used to spend on a desktop+ultrabook setup. It is so close to perfect I pretty much have nothing to complain about which as my wife will attest to is unheard of for me when it come to computer :)

I had toyed with the idea of getting an Air and a Mac Studio and continuing to work in my old two machine way but with how good the MacBook Pro's are I realised I no longer needed to do that and I am very happy I made the decision to just go all in with a good MacBook Pro and not think about it anymore.
> they probably distrust Google enough to not care too much about not using Google

I think you probably greatly overestimate how much normal people worry about things like that.

Look out your window and count how many tinfoil hats you see people with. If there's more than maybe one or two, you live in a fairly atypical part of the world and it might be time to move house.

2. Increase the memory settings for Jetbrains. Otherwise being a JVM based editor it will be using lots of CPU aggressively garbage collecting.

You're forgetting that the "niche technical audience" has something marketers and influencers and other kinds of pushers don't: competence and credibility. And (not relevant here, but to plenty other products) control or influence over procurement process in SMBs, corporations, universities and government facilities.

Nearly all of us in the "niche technical audience" are the personal IT support departments of some subset of our family, friends, and their friends. They come to us asking for advice, or to set their computers/phones up, or to fix them after they "caught viruses". However begrudgingly we do that, it puts us in a position of power - they listen to and trust in what we say, and accept uncritically what we do to their machines. And, our interests are mostly aligned with theirs - even if we don't care about particular friend-of-a-friend's happiness, we'll still do them good so they don't have to come back with more issues any time soon.

This is how Google Chrome spread. This is how Firefox still survives. This is how several brands of anti-malware software spread - a mistake that's now difficult to undo. This is how AdBlock Plus became a thing, and how uBlock Origin is now replacing it. All these trends and more, I participated in first-hand. People still remember and follow advice I gave them over a decade ago (which isn't always good - see the anti-malware stuff).

And so is the case with Kagi, to a degree. I'm paid user for 1.5 years now, happy with the service. I recommend it in relevant discussions, I mention it to people who spot it - but since it's a paid product, it is a tough sell with general population. Still, I try to spread the word, like I do with any other good and non-user-abusive tool.

That said, this news makes me somewhat reluctant to recommend Kagi. I'll keep using it because it provides me immediate value for reasonable price, but taking investment often is a Faustian bargain. In this case it's not as clear as with regular VC backing, so I guess we'll see where this goes.
You're right about semis. The most cost effective thing for keeping the roads better is weigh stations open all the time.

However, EVs cause around 2x more damage to roads than non EVs.

https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2023/06/26/pothole-electric...

Wait til the semi EVs hit the road!

EVs also have significantly higher particulate emissions due to increased tire wear.
>Nobody else is really doing this I do wonder at times if folk want us to stop

Please don't. You're doing humanity a service. AFAIK you're the only AI company who released something of this magnitude for free, without any restrictions.

The people who want you to stop are:

1. Bitter artists who see their livelyhood endangered and lash out at the most prominent example. We can sympathize but this isn't your fault, this was going to happen anyway. At least you democratized it.

2. People upset in general that some tech companies will be getting rich off AI while the rest of us get poorer, lose jobs, etc. You get the brunt of the hate because your free tools are usable by the average person, and therefore more people are exposed to it. They don't realize that if SD never existed, the only thing that would change is that this technology would still exist, except we'd all be paying some OpenAI-like company a monthly fee to use it.

3. Big NGO. Their raison d'etre is fighting against something, no matter what, because this is how they get donations/attention, which pays for the salaries of the trust fund kids who work at those places. Apparently if someone generates an image of a naked kid using SD, I'm supposed to care as if it was actual child abuse material? Somehow we don't extend that logic to the manufacturers of pen and paper which allow that same person to draw or write their disgusting fantasies.

4. Clueless people who fall for the propaganda from the least ethical members of the previous groups.

5. SD fans upset that you bent to the pressure from NGOs and Twittards and kneecaped SD in your rush to remove copyrighted art from the training data. Newer versions are objectively inferior from an end-user's perspective and deep down you know it, because you see what enthusiasts are using on /r/stablediffusion. But I don't hold this against you, even if it's disappointing. We will always have SD 1.5, which remains the best way for normal people (ie not rich VC corps) to do text-to-image. If you do nothing else for the rest of your life, you will be celebrated for this.

Stay up, playa'!
I suspect that they ran into issues trying to combine 4x Max SoCs into a single SoC. Thus, they had no choice but to finish the transition by releasing a Mac Pro that uses an Ultra SoC rather than an "Extreme" SoC.

Marc Gurman received insider information about a 4x Max SoC 3 years ago. He was right about the 2x Max SoC which became the Ultra.
-m pdb is post mortem debugging, it drops you in the debugger when it encounters the first unhandled exception. This is much easier than trying to pin point where to put a breakpoint.
Yes, but this title is much more clickbait than just "Google stops developping 2 open source apps".
Yeah, I also mean the ones way back. It was interesting, so fascinating. 60s to 90s vibe was good, too, and that classic editorial photography; the colors seeming to drip off the page and take me to another world. “Oil fields in Kuwait at dusk” (this was before the wars), “Women selling turnips at a market in Bangladesh”. So evocative.
Maybe more gravity in other places creates more pull there and pulls the water away from places with less gravity? Similar to how the gravity of the moon pulls at the water, creating high tide? But that's just my guess, I'm not an expert either...
I have both versions of the Bangle. I absolutely love the software ecosystem and the apps are a lot of fun to program. On the down side, battery life is not great (4 days if you're lucky) and the step counter and heart rate detection algorithms in the open source firmware are not very accurate, which makes it a bit pointless for what I need. On the plus side, if you're up for the challenge, you can try to improve those algorithms yourself!
I would happily donate to Rocky if I thought it would really sustain it. But, honestly, they are too dependent on RH and finding ways to subvert their restrictions (and considering RH is pretty boldly clear that they dont want to give away the sources) makes it a whack-a-mole game that is not sustainable in my opinion. Been burnt with CentOS 8 once, and I'm not willing to go through it again. Atleast I know Debian wont go this way.

Because lots of professionals travel with their gear or have a studio where everything needs to be be rack-mounted.

I don't think it's problematic for anyone other than the spammers.

No longer do they need to hire an army of cheap copywriters in some third world country to produce their spam. Anyone can run a spam farm nearly for free, and crowding the market is inevitably going to be driving down the profitability for everyone in the business as clicks and impressions are diluted. As is the trend with AI in general, it's really hard to build an effective moat.

There's no magic, only layers. `python -m pdb <args>` runs pdb with the rest of the arguments. pdb handles the second `-m`.

If you have a fancy IDE feature, open a new python file, type "import pdb", use go to definition on pdb to jump to that file in the standard library, and read its main function - it handles -m explicitly :)
Oh and a note I neglected to make: the recycling failure scenarios are wildly different for steel and PET: steel is easily disposed of by the environment, and doesn't really cause any problems, in fact it's a great oceanic fertilizer.

PET is a horror show in the failure scenario.

YouTube premium family is best value for money for all streaming services. Just don’t waste time on adblocking, as it works reliably only on desktop.

I used ublock and it was more or less cuccessfully fighting ads on desktop, but they still were present on phone (new pipe just sucks, and I moved to iPhone anyways), iPad, Xbox and tv.

Premium removed all of them. Also gave downloads for offline viewing.

I still use sponsorblock on desktop though. And miss it a lot everywhere else.

Mandatory disclaimer. I’m Google employee but do not work for YouTube and I’m paying for premium with my own money.

Most applications take seconds to open - and that's with fairly high-end hardware and an NVMe drive.

The worst offenders are the "webpages packaged as programs" (electron, CEF) and UWP.

I don't think the lack of caching is the problem - the real problem is doing so much work to open the application which requires caching.
What I said is not mutually exclusive with that. I said that’s how EOF maps stored procedures to local entities. EOF also maps tables to entities and supports queries via its own qualifier (predicate) syntax. It’s not exclusive to one or the other.
Why is this comment downvoted? I think is pretty fair to say "I would quit my job before participating in that". More tech workers should say "NO" to so much BS today. Tech does give us so much good things, but we drive full speed into a new kind of slavery.

I was privileged to be one of the technical reviewers for this book. There's a fair bit of the original content (which is still great), but Kernighan's done a great job with some good restructuring and some significant updates, too. The early chapters are very hands-on, with something of a focus on "exploratory data processing", particularly with CSV files. Big data with AWK, you could say.

Gawk and awk will soon have a new "--csv" option that enables proper CSV input mode (parsing files with quoted and multiline fields per the CSV RFC). I'm really glad Arnold Robbins added a robust "--csv" implementation to Gawk, too, because that's really the most-heavily used version of AWK nowadays. I've already got CSV support in my own GoAWK implementation, and I'll be adding "--csv" to make it compatible.

I'm really glad this new updated version is coming out!

Instead of that, they could mandate meters on the charging stations that add a surcharge to the electricity. That would be less invasive, and be analogous to how they collect usage fees by taxing gas.

There is a general legal principle that the state must use the least intrusive means to accomplish a goal. A lawsuit might force a change.

...And this is why PoCs should be small-scale but technically sound things, rather than a shortcut competition.

Shifting risk to where it is least understood and priced is what modern corporate management is all about. Creating true value is hard work, what people used to do in the old days when the future was still a shiny something and progress was not discredited.

From eliminating defined-benefit from employee pensions schemes to "not having" any employees at all, that is the name the game.

Instead of fixed contracts where the entity carries the risk of reduced revenue, just take advantage of a willing pool of competing freelancers that race to the bottom and are at the mercy of economic cycles and their very own lifecyle.

People often rail about generic "capitalism" but this is an example of the countless levers available to tune the beast so that its less of a vampire: What type of labor contracts firms can legally engage-in is a simple political / regulatory choice.
