What do you think about the longevity of these Sonos products? I got sucked into the ecosystem via IKEA/Sonos collab and now added one to my TV setup.

The ecosystem is nice _currently_ but do you think the hardware+software will be useable in 5,10,15 years from now? Do you think it could be liberated software wise. Thinking about this because I am contemplating moving my vinyl setup to Sonos as well.

That's the thing, linux is great for linux power users and absolute hands off users. Its terrible for people in the middle, and hence why it cannot get the ball rolling towards adoption for 30 year now.

There are tons of tech literate people who know what a problem is, know what the fix is, but do not want to deal with climbing through forum posts and documentation to figure out the correctly structured command to do the actions (and how to unfuck if the command wasn't right).

WTF?? Me neither on none of my git project. Ever. So what? I’m a git genius??
The truth is I don’t even understand how one can reach a point where re-cloning a (git) repo is needed: git can always reset --hard and it has never ever failed for me, even during complicated interactive rebase and co.
> You can write a reply and then erase it without sending, and that's the best thing to do in most cases.

Sometimes I do this, but more commonly I will write my comment and then just not check that discussion ever again. I only check the discussion if it's a situation where I am willing to engage if there is a response. My experience has been that replies to any comment that's even mildly controversial are such that the other party will not bother trying to understand what I'm saying. In many cases I might be posting a piece of data (with a link to the source) and inevitably someone's going be upset because they don't like the data.
Still suffers from the same underlying issues (reasoning based limitations and lack of recall) (at least the stop option works on Phind). Unfortunately the performance tuning OpenAI has done the past months (theres a reason the 25 limit chat per 3 hours went away and there is no free lunch), created some sort of "uncanny valley" for responses now (it looks like what i want but not quite).

It lost the "damn thats exactly what i want" it had.

If you have a slow instruction like a load from memory, you could try to execute following instructions that don’t depend on the load (out of order). But what do you do when you run into a conditional branch?

Conditional branches are taken and go somewhere else or they are not taken and just go to the next instruction.

Branch prediction (really conditional branch prediction which is a form of speculative execution, think Spectre) is making that guess. Getting it right makes the code fast. Getting it wrong costs about 10-15 clock cycles and some lost energy. You can and Intel does throw anything at it, neural networks based on the stack return addresses, recent branch history, … anything.

> > application of coercive force (which is what makes a government a government) must be avoided at any and all cost

> I think this statement is eminently reasonable. Although a monopoly on coercive force is one important defining feature of government, I think it's desirable to have its minimization as the highest priority. Moreover, I think in the US our baseline for appropriate levels of coercive force is far too high.

Agree to disagree. I think coercive force should applied where appropriate, not avoided at any and all cost (a very strong qualifier). For instance, releasing defendants with GPS monitors prior to trial, and then arresting them and holding them in jail if they violate the terms of the release.

Meanwhile, coercive force in the form of escalating fines and, eventually, imprisonment, is applied to people who would dare to build apartments on their own land and then rent them to others. Where is the outcry over that? It is truly a tragedy of our own making.

Thank you for sharing this!

I recently really enjoyed Art + DIY Electronics (https://archive.org/details/mit_press_book_9780262361576), which probably has a lot of relevance to the HN crowd and some great descriptions of projects like Laura Kikauka’s absurdist analog virtual reality suit Hairbrain 2000, pollution-hunting Feral Robotic Dogs adapted from secondhand toys by New York teens, and work by the Burning Man-adjacent Survival Research Laboratory.

Selling the American People (https://archive.org/details/mit_press_book_9780262374248) was also a great history of what you might call proto adtech, including things like ad execs hyping what they could do with '60s computers, Sears running analytics on when to send customers new catalogs, and '90s dreams of buying fashion from TV sitcoms. I didn't realize this one was free and actually bought the Kindle edition, which was well worth it.

Balkan Cyberia (https://archive.org/details/mit_press_book_9780262373265) also looks fascinating for anyone interested in Eastern bloc computer history.

And perhaps I should add that if I focused on my supposed good intent to the exclusion of changing, then I'd have to question what my intent was. Or, putting it differently, the best way I can demonstrate my good intent is by correcting anything that is out of line with my intent. If I instead make it about my hurt feelings, I'd think that a better indicator of my deeper intent.
As a contractor I like having a really flexible schedule and sometimes that means I have an extra half day available here and there. Sometimes my family is out of town or I'm out of town alone and I have extra capacity during nights and weekends that I would enjoy building a feature.

Also, I go through periods where I only want to work 8-16 hours a week, but even most contract work I find is full time.

So really for me this would allow for more liquidity in my contract work.

So, it's not needed anymore. I also started using jQuery in order to get cross-browser support for handy stuff, but since that stuff is now cross-browser without using any 3rd party libraries at all, there is no need to use extra bandwidth and CPU cycles from your users to download something that basically already exists.
I think that displaying this information on those DMS is a bad idea unless you give it some context.

In Texas they throw up the message similar to "1669 deaths this year on Texas roads" as in the article. Drivers who read the sign have no way of knowing whether this is lower than, higher than, or about the same as the number of deaths for that date in previous years. As the year goes by the number gets larger but there is still no context.

A better way to convey this information if you are going to do it at all would be use a reward/penalty message format that is readily understandable at highway speeds.

The message should be simple. For example - "Texas Traffic Fatalities lower this year than last. Good Job! Drive Friendly" or "Texas Traffic Fatalities higher this year than last. Drive Friendly"

That tells anyone reading exactly what they need to know and the message highlighting an improvement contains a simple reward message. When drivers become accustomed to seeing the message in this format they will immediately recognize that fatalities must be higher because the reward is missing from the message. That could trigger an effort to drive more safely.

Personally I hate the DMS signs and billboards. In a world where I made the rules there would be no billboards at all as the immortal Ogden Nash said:

I think that I shall never see a billboard lovely as a tree.

Perhaps, unless the billboards fall, I'll never see a tree at all. -- Ogden Nash (after Joyce Kilmer's poem about trees)

I would not allow any form of dynamic advertising along roads or highways. That means that if billboards are allowed there would be no LED billboards flashing a new message periodically and distracting drivers. All allowed billboards would be totally static and unless they advertised critical services for travelers they would be unlit at night. That means that no lighted billboards unless they are advertising travel-related infrastructure such as restaurants, clean restroom facilities available for travelers, auto towing, maintenance, or repair shops, etc. All advertised infrastructure can only be lighted during the hours when it is open and available for use by travelers. If the business is closed then the lights must be off.

There are already too many distractions for drivers with dash-mounted tablets, cell phone holders, navigation screens, and drivers do not need flashing shit along the road to distract them from the important task of maintaining a safe following distance from other traffic and monitoring other drivers on the road while scanning the highway for hazards along their route like traffic light status, objects in the roadway, unsecured loads, etc.

This is more true at some schools than others. Many schools are pretty insular and dating outside of the school is quite uncommon. This was true for the liberal arts college where I went to school, even though it was not geographically isolated. It is definitely true for isolated schools (Williams).

I think you're exactly right. A lot of its talk presumes that its goals can't be met with, say, a government issued debit card.
> The obvious way around this is to pull out a scale factor, say 1e-9 since you know you'll be in the nano-range. Now the numbers you're working with are back on the order of 1 with lots of precision, however you need to apply the scale factor when you actually want to use the number, and now you have to be careful not to overflow when multiplying two or more scaled numbers.

Do that rescaling automatically and have a system that just keeps track of the scale and you've just implemented floats. (:
There have been massive improvements in home technology in 40+ years so I would think its obvious that a newer home with higher "R" values for insulation, roofing, siding, and windows is going to fare better than something from the 1950's.

I would imagine the cost of improving windows and wall insulation on an older home is going to be easily $20k. If you add in roof and siding replacement then its likely $50k+. The cheapest solution in the article was adding curtains, one could go so far as adding floor to ceiling curtains (maybe call it a tapestry lol) on the extra toasty walls.

I mean there also is the other choice of living in a more temperate climate than a desert. I suspect in the coming decades us humans will be doing that more.

Because the current capabilities are insufficient, yet people are using those capabilities as if they are self-driving options. So when Tesla owners get overconfident about their assisted driving mode it ends up adding to the problem.

I even saw a video where a Tesla owner was letting a Youtuber drive and tried to goad him into leaving the car in assisted mode at a dangerous intersection, just to "see what it would do." I think the Youtuber was wise to not do that.

This is reminiscent of an experience we had at ClearHealth with managed hospital aesthetics. Not a scientific study in any sense, but as part of rebranding a hospital group, the color scheme was changed from a neutral green to a much brighter orange. The change coincided with a small but meaningful increase in mortality for procedures done on the associated floor. Enough that we reverted to the older aesthetic. The mortality change reverted as well. Chalked it up to coincidence. This process then repeated at two other separate campuses. I can't rule out this was some sort of reverse "Hawthorne Effect" where our communications about the change were the source of the problem but it bothered me enough to mostly put an end to our appetite for large scale aesthetic redesigns.
Would you mind pasting the link(s) to those Phind conversations or emailing me at michael@phind.com? Would love to dig in deeper.
> People who want to debate objective facts are not worth talking to.

Then don’t. But that’s not a “conversation”. That’s just lecturing.

Also: Who is the arbiter of what is, and isn’t “objective” truth? Reasonable people sometimes differ.

Also also: The “truth” in this case was “the word ‘groper’ is always offensive, no matter where it is used”. Which I certainly could see reasonable people disagree with. But nope, that obviously merited a straight block.
I mean, most of the journalists were fired and replaced with social media "content producers" who have done zero journalism because the industry kinda shrunk by like 90% and can't afford to buy actual journalism.

Would that come as form of a PR description?

Yes. Always the same though (maybe with some variants you write over time). I think the best might be to guide the receiving party so they act exactly like you want.

Example:

"Hello nice to meet you. We are a bunch of junior devs learning to make production code. We'd appreciate if you'd read our PR. However, if at first glance it doesnt look at all like something you'd merge, please simply send us a "nope" and we'll figure out why ourselves with the help of our mentors. Our goal is for you not to spend time on totally off-road PRs.

However if the PR is interesting to you, please proceed like you always do.

You can always reach us via [some form url that's automatically generated for that PR]"

Something like that that someone who can write and think has writen.

Take control at every step to prevent the receiving party to roam freely with the PR so to speak (unless it's decently good), because they might gonna go left and right - and south otherwise. They'll attack you on superficial thing. Make them a smooth funnel so they dont have to talk to nobody to move forward.

That's what came to mind.

P.s. or send them a url they follow entirely.

1. Read the PR in 15 min and come back here

2. How do you like it at first glance? A) very much, it's merged already, B) it's okay but I have feedbacks, C) not at all what we need sorry.

Etc.
Sure, and nothing is stopping you from saying that Max Rebo is a jizz master—go crazy! I'm just noting that despite (presumably) there being no vulgar intent behind the term, it doesn't change the fact that most people will read "Max Rebo is a jizz master" and immediately think "lol jizz."

Regardless of whether your intentions are pure, if a certain term instills certain associations in your audience, you can either change it to remove the association or live with the consequences of not doing so. But it's not the audience's fault that "jizz" has an existing meaning that's cemented in their minds, and your newfangled space jazz probably won't supplant that.

It's extremely common for programmers especially to add -er endings to common verbs to describe functions or objects that do that thing. Even if you want to exclude the playful neologisms that use this -er ending (Googler, Redditer) you have only to dig into the archives of classic code to find plenty of examples of this and it usually means "one who X's", in this case, "one who gropes". The scrupulosity brigade being on high alert for any ambiguity notwithstanding.
> there's a balance where you need to think how much of the environment and money would I be saving by keeping using very old hardware instead of throwing it away,

... maybe? Think global. Making CPUs uses an amazing amount of power in making the metallurgical silicon, refining to poly silicon, refining it again to semiconductor grade, refining it again, and then the whole slice polish lithography chain. All of that is still coal powered.

And the chemicals used, and the byproducts created in the chemical manufacture and use, and the amazing quantities of water that are used in the earlier steps of the chain.

Unless you're getting your electricity by burning rainforests, it seems better for the environment to avoid causing new chips to be made, by continuing to use old ones.
The main issue with Amtrak is the delays. Freight is prioritized over passenger trains on a lot the lines so you can quickly fall behind schedule. This is compounded over the distance so can add up.

from the article: "Being able to debug any past production code is a huge step up..."

this is pretty epic. but it also means you need to keep track of what version of your code ran every past workflow because you need to run it the exact same way when you replay it, right? Is there an easy way to track in workflow metadata or something which version of a worker (commit sha or something) ran a workflow?

also i love the beginning section about history. It would be awesome if every article I read about some new technology started with a reference to how whatever-it-is really grew out of PARC or bell labs or some research paper written pre-1980.
