I don't think you could really approach the kind of coverage automatic crash telemetry can give with a bunch of test devices. You will absolutely find a non-zero number of issues with the test devices, but it's not really the same.

Without substantially increasing the cost and work to maintain the test pool, you'll be testing exactly one combination of OS version/patch level/settings, one internet connection medium/carrier, one set of browser config options, etc for each device in the pool.

The investigation into any fault isolated to a single device in the test pool has to start with suspicion of the health of the specific device. The test S20 crashing doesn't tell you that every S20 will crash in the same way, it could be an isolated local fault. Yes you can throw more devices but that's further increasing the cost and effort of maintaining the test pool.
When John & John (of They Might Be Giants) we’re first getting their start as TMBG, they got publicity by recording songs (or bits thereof) to an answering machine, and then advertising the number in the Village Voice (as a personals ad).

The song “Untitled” (https://tmbw.net/wiki/Untitled) was a recording of two people who called the number, and discussed what they heard.

>I'm sure we all have stories about a noob that doesn't know how to do something basic like ssh with a key or something

Not knowing how to do that, or not knowing how to google how to do that?

I also joined some jobs as a noob when switching domains, where I was lacking skills that the more seasoned people would consider as being "basic", but I could also google what I was lacking most of the time and learn on the fly.
That's the thing, if the employer tries to bargain on WFH then they just won't stop on an agreement but keep pushing.
I didn't really like the title of the HN post either, but I don't think it needs much change. Just drop the "I'm 17 and" part and do "I wrote this guide on hwo CPUs run progra..."

The "I'm 17" part just felt irrelevant to me in a technical work. I.e. it's either technically correct or it's not. However, I can see a strong argument about why it should be in the title. If you care about meta details of the work, it's certainly different and interesting to be produced by someone so young. I suppose part of this is my own life experience talking, and very likely means I'm projecting. When I was a teenager I hated divulging that to others on the internet because they treated me differently when they found out how old I was.
Like I said, and the link confirms, it will not by default collect tax.

For that you need to set up Stripe Tax on top of it. Stripe Tax itself also takes a cut from your payment.

It also “helps” you file taxes only by providing the reports you need. You still need to file the reports and each country is different.

Please read the FAQ before this causes you trouble: https://stripe.com/docs/tax/fa
q

>> Does Stripe Tax handle remitting and reporting tax, or filing tax returns?

> Stripe Tax doesn’t handle remitting and reporting tax, or filing tax returns. Stripe Tax provides itemized and summarized exports to help users prepare, file, and remit the tax that was automatically calculated and collected. To automate filing in the US, we recommend using TaxJar’s AutoFile solution. In Europe, we recommend using Taxually or Marosa. To get started, visit Taxually’s partner page or Marosa’s partner page.

The answer is in the article: their understanding is that the current interface feels chaotic to users, and this new interface will "tame the chaos" and help you focus.

Personally, I suspect it will benefit one type of user (DMs across multiple slack organizations) and hurt others (one workspace, many team channels with focused topics in each). This is where people get upset with redesigns- everything for everyone is suboptimal for everyone, but there's a good chance nothing else is better... that doesn't stop them from trying, though.

I'm in the latter, and from a very brief glance at the new screenshots, I hate it. I'll reserve actual judgement until I have to use it, but I'm not optimistic that I'm the target audience for the new design.

> This means that OpenAI should be sued every single time someone manages to extract what is considered as copyrighted material from their software.

I agree! If GPT4 is outputting copyrighted material beyond what is considered fair-use (i.e. substantively more than what is provided by say, google books), I agree that is copyright infringement.

Indeed it is about the output, and making stuff available that people would otherwise have to pay for (or more precisely, enough of the copyrighted work that a person would have reason not to pay for the original work, causing a material loss to the original author) - that is a fineable violation imo.

Something else to think about... I work in biotech and have published articles in scientific journals on cellular and molecular level disease sequelae (such articles are also protected by copyright). Models trained on scientific literature are now being used for novel drug discovery and disease treatment pathways. These models are already outputting suggestions that seem very promising. Shall we also not provide these models access to the full corpus of scientific literature? It would significantly handicap these models to not have access to copyrighted scientific works. On one hand, some proportion of researchers will retain their jobs that would have otherwise been outsourced to LLMs (perhaps even myself). On the other hand, some amount of future patients will suffer or die from a disease that would have otherwise been cured.
This process isn't accidentally awful; it's deliberately targeted to exclude anyone who isn't a young true believer.

One thing that I would find cool as a follow-up to this article would be something like a decision tree (I understand it would get very complicated, very fast, but it should be fun): I, as a developer, am using AWS/Azure and I need features X,Y,Z, tell me which database I should pick.

Probably even better if it were a model trained extensively on the documentation / features of each individual database and it would also give references to the answer (see how Bing does it).

I haven't seen a good analysis that includes urbanization and human migration.

It can be simultaneously true that Urban crime rates have declined while average crime experienced by people has increased.

If Grandma grew up in a rural setting with a low property crime rate, and I was in a big city with a higher crime rate, the crime in their environment has gone up even if the city's crime rate is going down.

The same may be true for the average American due to the net increase in urbanization.

This is a nonsolution. It’s been a bit since I tried, but a couple problems here. First, it’s not intuitive. It should be integrated into the actual code block logic. Second, the snippet has to be a standalone comment, which is not always sensible, as sometimes you want it with or between some text. I feel like there were also issues I had with editing or mobile related to this.

Text snippets are not an acceptable stand in for what is otherwise a wildly basic feature, ubiquitous on many other platforms.
Sure. I write this as someone who works 12-14hrs/day and sporadically over the weekend, but I do it all remote from home & am well compensated so I am happy with the trade.

However - I think some of the CEO class defenders shouldn't delude themselves as to why these people have 5 homes. It is not because they take a paltry 15 days paid time off per year in which they use those homes. They have the flexibility to dictate their schedule, and they use that flexibility to be where they want, when they want.

At one fund I worked they Dual-HQd NYC & Miami (plus they all keep a Greenwich footprint) so that some of the execs could sleep outside NY State for statutory 183 days/year and avoid NYS/NYC 10-15% income tax on high earners. Plus they maintained their country homes outside the city.

If you make $5M/year, the 2nd/3rd/4th home start to pay for themselves with those economics.

Sleep in Greenwich Friday to Tuesday. Monday work from CT office. Blade to midtown office Tuesday AM. Sleep in your condo Tuesday/Wednesday and then back to Greenwich Thursday night to work remote Friday.
Next thing you know you're in Manhattan for a paltry 2 nights/week, maybe not even every week if you go do a Miami 2 weeks/month, or for majority of winter, etc.

I'm all for work from home, and have doing it for over 10 years, but we shouldn't ignore the cost of donating an entire room of your house to your employer (two in my case since my wife also wfh). Certainly this should factor into your total comp calculation as -(rent amount in your area). Likely it is more than you would spend on the commute. Employers are well aware they are colonizing your private space for free. You are also cleaning /stocking/ maintaining this area for them for free. They are laughing all the way to the bank.

"More paperwork" -> "Less security"

"Less paperwork" -> "More security"

That's almost an axiom in some circumstances but with criticality accidents there's a difference—first, the stakes don't get much higher, at close quarters death's a certainty and it's about as unpleasant as it gets; second, it's all over and irreversible in milliseconds.

There is no time to think, the body-brain reaction time is far too slow to take corrective action no matter how effective it may be when deployed.

That's different to giving consideration to a course of action based on the difficulty of obstacles in one's way—choosing the path of least resistance, etc.

The issues with that infamous photo are different, there was no obvious logical if decision to be made—it was all very straightforward, lay the Pu out and photograph it. The problems, however, are multifold: (a) those involved didn't have sufficient understanding of the possible consequences (of the physics involved), (b) they were poorly trained in safety procedures, and (c), the work environment wasn't 'engineered' to ensure compliance—that is, nothing stopped them from doing it.

As I pointed out in my earlier post, training is crucial and it cannot be just theoretical. When the stakes are this high training has to be ingrained to such a degree that certain procedures are automatic, similarly, dangerous situations don't just become obvious after thinking about them, they are so the instant the brain responds. For instance, one recognizes the danger as quickly as one would if one tripped over a snake.

That's what the military does with training, one automatically reacts to a situation with the correct response without thinking. And that takes practice until one's perfect.

It works, it's a damn long time since I did any military training and I can stil carry out certain actions and procedures I learned decades ago and do so automatically and without a moment's thought. The people who set up and took those photos should have been trained to a similar level of discipline.
Just because Tesla has a recharging network and a car company doesn't mean others need a similar setup. It's fine for them to be separate companies. Just make sure your car supports ISO 15118 Plug and Charge.

It may be the case that it is easier to get a return on investment on installing chargers than building cars. If you go down that route, you might want to strike deals with car companies and their dealerships to include setting up your charger network on cars when they are sold.
I'm not bored, just sad. The "personal server" thing is a cool idea. I think the world would be better if it existed and worked well enough for wide adoption, but it seems like it'll never happen because the first guy to try to build one was a weird racist. So sorry to rag on you for something literally every other commenter in this thread is doing, it's just dispiriting to see, over and over.

Each customization I do to Kagi means the next search query has to be totally different. That might mean the UI also has to change to add/remove things that certainly require an index/DB search.

I read confirmation somewhere that the origin of this idiotic practice, including the absurdly verbose script they use[1], was to waste people's airtime. And it sure seemed to be true, because some carriers literally went to the trouble, even as late as the 2010s, to modify their voicemail systems to remove the option that used to be there to omit the boilerplate language. Plus, if you had any goal besides wasting people's time, why would you coin the phrase "an automated voice messaging system"?

I wish they'd reverse course now, though, since almost zero subscribers of any of these big carriers have limited talk minutes.

[1] I believe this is the full exact text that Verizon and AT&T used, verbatim from memory. "Your call has been forwarded to an automated voice messaging system. Four... One... Five... Five... Five... Five... Zero... One... Seven... Four... is not available. At the tone, please leave your message. When you are finished recording, hang up, or, press one for more options. To leave a callback number, press seven."

I wonder if this is what actually killed voicemail. Who was going to wait through all that crap to say "Hey it's Steve, wanted to talk to you about X, call me back."
The BSDs all come with some non-bash POSIX shell in /bin/sh, and while bash is available via ports it won't be installed at /bin/bash.

No thank you. That's not a unique benefit of the patent system, that's a minor ancillary benefit that has already been replicated elsewhere. The patent office doesn't have a patent on historical records of so-called inventions.

And the patent process is not optimized to produce documents that actually help other inventors or future historians. In fact, to the contrary, as it exists within a particular narrow legal IP regime that optimizes around legal risk. This is especially the case with software patents, where the patent office incentivizes patents that use convoluted language to make an obvious process seem like a novel invention.

In other words, let's assume a future where there are no more copies of Zelda to play. If you had to choose between getting to preserve the patent on the Zelda loading screen and an actual recording of it, I'll take the recording every time. Or in a future where much of the knowledge of computer science and programming was lost, I'd rather have an archive of a set of textbooks, Stack Overflow, and Github than the entirety of the patent office's software patent documents.
>> You're assuming that someone working from the Hamptons is as productive as working from a desk in the office or his own home. I highly doubt this is true and especially so for young junior employees.

I've had co-workers in these situations for a long time. In theory there is no difference. But then...

- suddenly you can barely hear someone on a conference call because they are on a 4G-tether on a beach,

- or because there are tons of bar sounds in the background on a call

- or you have a production issue but cant get the person to screen-share because they are on low-bandwidth

I even had individuals who would block their entire calendar on WFH days and only take meetings on in-office days.

The problem is with those who abuse privileges, not with those who are honest.
> what is wrong with having to learn?

Often that just seems like an argument used to justify poor UX. There is nothing wrong with learning but many people have other interests and/or prefer/have to spend their effort on learning other things.

Outright dismissing them as "too stupid" seems a bit elitist especially if you want them to user your software.

Thank you for your response. Since I have your ear, I'll provide some direct feedback.

"We definitely care about abuse generated by Workers."

That may be the case internally but it's not as evident through support. I base this on their ability to answer security-related questions, diagnose odd behavior, or mitigate problems. FYI, we are paying for your highest tier of support.

"it should be treated as if they were running their bot on any other cloud provider and making requests across the internet."

Part of this is how Site Analytics and WAF analytics represent worker data (or don't). Even though the worker modifies the contents, the IP is passed through as the end-user IP (at least the way we use them). These analytics systems need to do a better job of identifying anything worker or tunnels related. If this were being done through AWS it would be evident. We can use various mechanisms to mitigate this, but I wanted to clarify why abuse through Workers is different for our implementation.

Also, the process to block non-zone workers was undocumented, and it took a couple of weeks for someone to dig it up and only after several trials and errors. Support wasn't sure it would work, and there was no other documentation (at the time).

We have yet to get an answer about the high volume of tunnel requests from specific goes.

Combine this with the opaque stack you have that causes odd situations. For example, I added a worker that automatically retries 500 errors from the origin. Simple enough. This breaks Zero Trust, though, and causes a redirect loop. There may be documentation somewhere, but there isn't a good breakdown of how Zero Trust fits into a customer-defined worker, and a redirect loop is undoubtedly a poor failure mode.

There is a world of difference between the information you have and may provide as the Technical Lead of Workers, and what I'm getting via support or raw documentation.

I could provide you more information offline if you want.

Edit: Let me just add the other recent thread [1] regarding redirect loops in verification is par for the course. We had the same issue and tried for weeks for progress or resolution. The issue was never resolved, nor could we get information on why the failure mode was so poor, etc. That ambivalence adds up to expecting general ambivalence or inability to make meaningful progress. At some point, you say to yourself, "Why waste my time talking to support and putting in much effort and getting the run-around."

The comment states Tesla performing well in the future is a given, a guarantee it'll exist in the future. We don't know what will happen in the future, I wouldn't say "x company existing in the future is a given".

It'll probably keep doing very well. It may have some sudden event happen that makes it stumble. I wouldn't even state that the future of transportation in 20-30 years is a given.

I wouldn't bet against Tesla in the next decade or so, but I wouldn't state its future performance is a given. You know, that whole "past performance does not guarantee future results" thing your broker keeps chanting. Unless you happen to have a crystal ball or some kind of time machine, in which case I'd like in on that.
