That is my dream too.

I would be SO happy to sit outside and think and code for many hours without worrying on battery life.

No need for a powerful CPU. I just need to edit my code, see if it works and take notes.

I want to hack on my compiler while the cows graze around me !
The first style is the source of uncountable UI bugs. I have lost track of the number of times I’ve seen the developer forget to set a dirty bit to redraw the screen when some state changes. It’s the imperative vs. declarative model. Declarative may often be slower but it has other strengths.
Not just this but if you look at the journey to microcosmos YouTube channel it has awesome videos of microorganisms that are single cell and you start to wonder what is life. How can one single cell know what to do, there is no cpu or logic with “if” and “then”
The article matches my experience with SwiftUI [1][2]. For example, AFAICT, it's not really possible to write a usable node-graph editor using SwiftUI due to layout and dependency analysis overhead. You have to put the entire node graph inside a Canvas and do your own event handling, which is what we did in [3].

UIKit and AppKit aren't slow though, and Apple has every incentive to make this faster (they wrote SwiftUI's dependency graph in C++ after all, so they do seem to care), which makes me think there is just inherent slowness from the dependency analysis that is required for these sorts of systems (that seems to be what I see on the profiles).

We were taught how to write cheques when I was around 12-13 at school. It's not rocket science.

Many years later in the mid-1990s my step-son who was an Economics(!) undergraduate at University asked me to give him a cheque for some sort of tuition fee. I gave him the cheque-book, and said "You fill it out and I will sign it."

"I don't know how to write a cheque." he said. That really floored me.

Mind you, the last cheques I have written were in France on my French LCL bank account back in 2016 while travelling in France. The last cheque I wrote at home in Australia was a few years before that, in 2014.
Thanks. This is quite helpful context. (As for myself I used to write quite a bit of PHP; haven't touched it in some time but I'm rather fond of the language.

I'm not sure we should be massively surprised by this, I didn't read the study, but increased melatonin could lead to increased sleep depth, or time spent in deep sleep, which has been strongly correlated to memory.

Melatonin is a hormone, so it's like saying "Testosterone and derivatives found to increase muscle generation and fat loss".

Now, having said that, it doesn't mean we should be giving everyone megadoses of testosterone as we do with melatonin, handing it out like candy.

I do have a horse in this race, as we've been working on increasing the efficiency of deep sleep through neurofeedback/neurostimulation (auditory) at https://soundmind.co

It doesn't imply it, no. There is an absolute true "first human measurement of Earth's size" and it is not fundamentally unlearnable at this point in history. It's just very difficult to prove and we are far from the due diligence necessary for such an extraordinary statement. It should be properly qualified until we piece together a pretty complete picture of lost civilizations.

Having tested the Remarkable 2 for a few weeks, I'd actually recommend another device: The Supernote A5X. The hardware & writing experience are a tad better IMO and the software much more so.

Also, the Remarkable devs are notoriously bad when it comes to software updates and sharing their plans for the future with the community. Meanwhile, the Supernote people even share their Trello boards over on Reddit -> https://Reddit.com/r/Supernote

The Supernote, admittedly, is not as hackable yet as the Remarkable but 1) official software updates are much more frequent and 2) there are plans to open up the device to 3rd-party Android apps.
Nearly all of the concepts you use to describe this experience, including "amazing", are only accessible to a (human) mind.

If you came into being inside of, say, a rock instead of a human, you'd probably have less awe for creation.

So I guess there is some survivorship bias in play. To most entities, the universe might be pretty boring.

There's some food for thought :)

You may be interested in an Astrophysics course. I took one in college taught by an Astronomy professor and was surprised most of the content was focused on what we could determine about stars, galaxies and such based on what we could measure from them. In retrospect that seems obvious but I guess I had assumed the content would be like really heavy theories of stellar formation or gravity or something.

In my course we basically progressed from the traditional OG methods of measurement to increasingly sophisticated methods. It’s amazing how much you can learn about stars and galaxies just from combining models of black body radiation, spectral lines, and red shift with the wavelengths of the light they emit.

Argument from dictionary definition is cringe.

If employers refuse to negotiate with employees individually, and set a fixed maximum price for labour, that is clearly unlawful, collusive, cartel behaviour. If they enforced this by refusing to honour their contracts and refusing to pay employees or give them work, this would also be unlawful.

If employees do the same then the left pretends it is normal.

Note that unions had to be made legal by legislative fiat. At common law, unions were illegal associations in restraint of trade.
Ask HN: Qualifications to Apply for Product Role in Generative AI
I am looking for advice in applying to Product roles in Generative AI.

I have 15+ years Product experience in big tech and I've also done a startup. I am looking for a new role and am very interested in the Generative AI area.

However it seems like most such jobs require a few years of experience leading AI / ML products/services and some even screen for a formal education in AI/ML.

I don't have any work experience in the AI/ML space. However I have been reading up on the space, understand how transformers work and concepts like quantization and Lora. I have also built some RAG apps using Open AI, Langchain and ChromaDB to query sources of information too.

I'd like to hear from prospective hiring managers or folks with insights on how I can make my application pop when I apply to a product role in the generative AI space.

One idea I am working on is to create a generative AI app that I can share a link to on my resume so that recruiters and hiring managers can see first hand my experience in using AI to build something and make up for the other check boxes.

Before I go too deep though I want to check if that would resonate with the audience I am targeting.

Love to hear opinions and also suggestions for alternatives.

The vast majority of heavy social media users don't meet the clinical definition of being addicts. Many of them have other mental conditions such as depression, anxiety, or neuroticism. But it's not particularly helpful to compare Instagram to nicotine or opioids.

The abortion quip makes me chuckle. Every legal scholar (including the queen bee RBG herself) warned for decades that Roe v Wade was originally decided on a stretch of a privacy argument.

My recommendation: don’t try to shoehorn morally debatable things in via another vehicle hoping for a miracle. You may get your miracle, but it will most likely be temporary. When you argue very important things, stick to the central pillars of the idea. Don’t be enthralled by the thought of a “quick win”.

> As explained in the video, above a certain crowd density, people physically lose the ability to control their movement in the mass of bodies and involuntarily behave more like molecules in a fluid and less like individual actors.

The people at the interface of that phase change have the choice to move backwards, but still press forwards even though it puts them into physical contact with other people. They can be partially excused for not knowing of the situation ahead of them, but they're still (usually, except in cases of fire/etc) making a free choice to physically touch and press themselves into and against other people. I am talking about people at the interface, not in the middle of it.

If everybody in the crowd refused to voluntarily press somebody else, then no forces would be transmitted through the crowd. But pressing other people, particularly to jostle your way past them, is the nature of crowd psychology. For this reason people should avoid crowds entirely. Being in such a high density crowd is usually a choice.

Same with this article it seems. It's thought provoking. Worth the read. But the conclusion is rather underwhelming: it's an environment & societal problem. Also Big-Co is evil. That's not wrong per-say, but gee-whiz looks like we gotta add it to the growing list of how everything's terrible.

The message is good just missed an opportunity to carry over the energy into action. I'll try: since we can't change society so easily, perhaps change the environment as a microcosm? Talk to friends about it. Talk to family. Coworkers. Try intentional things like no-phone dinners. Heads down time. Maybe these things are just as silly. And it's especially hard to alter kids behavior because it's very hard to control external social influences.

Agreed, the words personal responsibility are frowned upon nowadays since our priority is comfort and 0 judgement. You can choose whether to believe you are in control or choose not to. If you choose not to dont be surprised when you fail to achieve your goals.
This isn't simply a fashion. Part of the reason why cars are getting bigger is that people are getting fatter, and no longer fit into older models. That also explains why SUVs tend to appear first in countries where obesity is more prevalent, such as the US and UK.
If there’s one thing I could ask for when it comes to SwiftUI it would be for them to stop stripping symbols for the framework. It’s a complete black box in the profiler unless you put an unreasonable amount of effort into reverse engineering it.

TI processors tend to have weird misbehaviors and the support is far worse than competitors like NXP. Plus, their driver quality is usually low, and actually using driver or bsp code is difficult in a consistent, automatic way. You want to regularly upgrade drivers/bsps that you're carrying a couple dozen unofficial patches on top of. The tooling available forces you to do that semi-manually, which also means people make mistakes and introduce unnecessary regressions.

Even when their stuff works, I've had too many instances where the support resolution was "ensure you're doing everything in this 1,500 item checklist" (not exaggerating).
Potentially a fair point vis a vis the environment, but it’s not really true of people as far as DeBeers is concerned. I know people that work for them in Botswana and I hear nothing but good things about them as an employer. On the environment, Kimberlites are pretty small and the environmental impact of primary diamond mining isn’t really that great in the grand scheme of things. Take this with a pinch of salt from a guy on the internet sharing some anecdata etc etc.
Here is a live feed of the camera:
https://cameras.alertcalifornia.org/

Why did not they go with a simple approach:

* Device with a low power thermal sensor, cellular connection and a battery that sends a heart beat with the current temperature once every minute or so. Maybe even BLE mesh network of such sensors. Simple patterns like a sudden increase in the are or sensors going offline can indicate something is happening.

* Does it really need a live video? Time-lapse would require less traffic and energy. Many camera's seems to be attached to the existing poles or lines and potentially limiting coverage area.

* I think a modern approach for such projects should be: put streams from sensors of different types online + an archive of data and have it as an ongoing kaggle-like competition for the best approach with the condition that resulting model should be made available to CalFire for their own use.

This was more interesting than the title implied, certainly in part because he's a good presenter. His experience getting programming advice from chatGPT is exactly what I have seen, lots of back and forth to maybe get something that works but that usually would have been better to just go into the documentation for. I hear lots of people praising it so this mustn't be universal but it's certainly what I've seen and I don't know how people manage to claim such productivity boosts with it.

You can preprocess the battery range problem quite efficiently. If is not possible to gain more charge than the gravitational potential between the endpoints for any path. You can change all of the edge weights from battery charge changes into battery charge as compared to a perfectly efficient car.

This would make a downhill edge A->B and uphill edge B->A both have approximately the cost of the average between them which should be decidedly non-negative.
Yeah that's what microservices were meant to achieve. Suppose the market is staturated with "microservices", so a new term was needed.

> SSA doesn't require deconstruction. Keep it all the way to the machine code.

At some point you need to insert moves, either before or after register allocation. If you do it after register allocation (i.e. regalloc on SSA form), then there are certain benefits to the regalloc algorithm (a slew of papers from 2005-2015 or so), but there are missed opportunities to reschedule the moves.

It's possible to directly interpret SSA form. I am doing that now in my Virgil compiler.

But I don't think it's good for a bytecode, because that forces producers to do the transform and requires more locals (because you can only assign to them once).

I'm mostly thinking of binary code, e.g. Wasm. I wrote two of the papers referenced in the article.
