Honestly, I'm not surprised. Imagine if TV was invented recently. Would anyone actually use it? It doesn't exactly have a great elevator pitch:

"Watch shows on a schedule decided by us, complete with unskippable ads! If your favourite doesn't get 10 million viewers in its first season, it's cancelled, and every piece of content has to go through our strict guidelines to make sure some random folks don't complain about it being offensive!"

So what's the selling point? If you want entertainment with a higher budget, then film exists. If you want entertainment that's interactive and can be enjoyed for hours on hours, there are video games. If you want ground breaking, edgy content, then it's probably going to be found on the internet. Same with any coverage of any hobby or area of interest that isn't immediately appealing to about 40% of the US population or more.

And if you're a creator, there's even less of a point. The audience is dwindling, you lose almost all control of your creation on TV, and whether you can keep making it depends on unrealistic viewing figures that most niche shows can't hit.
no thanks. intimacy is a minefield when you have trouble reading people like me. especially in an office. some people get uncomfortable if you get to close. some don't like it if you aren't close enough. With women its even worse! I've had my body language be misinterpreted one too many times and it stresses me out.

Give me remote where I can keep a professional distance where I don't need to worry about making anyone uncomfortable.
well, you aren't being cheap. If you can get to where you want to go without lidar, why would you want to spend more money on lidar. If you can't it's a different matter.
idk much about this, maybe it's really great, but i get a lot of instagram ads from a lot of no-name companies preying on people with ADHD, and their tendency to forget. they all follow a similar cringe tiktok formula "I have ADHD, after using XYZ, i've become so organized and productive!". their aim is to hit the user with a high subscription cost after a short trial.

one of the scummier ads i've been shown is for "happyo", after digging in, it's just a collection of some lame ass planner apps. it costs $3 for the first week, but then jumps up to $67.99 for the next 3 months. to me, what they're doing is predatory.

my 2 cents is just go through some telehealth platform and find a therapist who specializes in ADHD that is covered by your insurance. if your copay is $25 for an HOUR session.... then 1 visit a week is only $100/mo. and if you want to go "immersive", schedule 3 visits a week lol

This is a good point. If a person doesn’t enjoy intimate hugs in the workplace, where on earth would they enjoy any sort of intimacy?

Where do you arrive at a week or two as an estimate for taking a cloud platform and making it self-hostable, even as an MVP? I know nothing about Honeycode, but I would bet that it's piecing together a bunch of AWS services behind the scenes rather than being something you can just stick on an EC2 instance.

I went to the same meetup (ZuriHac), and arrived at the opposite conclusion.

I gave a lightning talk there on how the Haskell job market has been growing steadily since 2008 [1] [2].

The GHC bug tracker is full of new people filing bugs from production environments.

Consultancy blogs such as [3] regularly show industry-sponsored improvements to GHC, which was much more infrequent 10 years ago.

A this year's ZuriHac, around 50% of attendees were new to Haskell / had never visited ZuriHac before (this was an audience question).

In the past, there were a few well-known companies that used Haskell, in specific niches. Today, the big niches are diminished, and there are more companies that use it in more niches.

> the developer experience and ecosystem for Haskell is as bad as it was

The developer experience improved significantly over the last years.

Today, you can get a good quality IDE environment with VSCode and Haskell-Language-Server that works in both simple and complex environments, and includes all the features you'd expect (completions, immediate type error checking, scoped renames, go-to-definition, find-all-references, call hierarchy, docs-on-hover).

> Keep the ships far enough apart to prevent accidents. Easy!

In fact, this is the hard part. Generally, the tanker ship and the ship being refueled are different sizes. They have different handling characteristics, keeping them at the same speed at the same heading is not a trivial task. If there's, say, 1 knot of speed differential, after a minute, now they're 100ft further (or closer) away. Furthermore, ships create wakes which means the handling in the real immediate vicinity of a ship is incredibly different from more or less open ocean. Drift too close, and now the water is literally trying to get the two ships to ram each other, with all the disastrous results that implies.

Yeah that was my concern as well. I used to work for an AI company that ended up in the same predicament, they raised way too much money at a high valuation and in the process cut down the potential acquirer pool to 3-4 companies. They are now a zombie with worthless common shares, no shot at an acquisition and nowhere near enough revenue to go public.
I wish SQL DBs had some focus on implementing stateless protocols. Is there any reason the "connection pool" could not be built into the same service as the SQL database, and start a move to an RPC protocol instead of stateful protocol?

So instead of "set xact_abort on" being a command setting one of a hundred possible 100 stateful connection flags, such flags would be part of every network roundtrip (as it is with HTTP).

Of course long lived DB transactions, temporary connection scoped tables, etc would need to be adjusted a bit in approach. But a shift towards SQL over RPC is certainly not impossible.

And long lived, client managed database transactions are worse performance wise than doing the transaction in one roundtrip; SQL is powerful enough that stored procedure-style transactions with parameter tables can do anything -- and for cases they cannot, optimistic concurrency control should usually be chosen instead anyway.

The cases where a long lived/client managed SQL transaction is NEEDED is rather seldom.
I use LANDrop regularly. It's the lowest-friction solution I've found so far to the whole "why doesn't this #$%@#$% SMB access work, it was working fine last week" thing with a mixed-OS set of computers.
Yet prices continue to increase. Hopefully, this is how prices decrease and houses become primarily for living instead of investing.
Yes, this is the standard NIMBY first argument that of course leads to the prisoners' dilemma due to uncoordinated policy. Every locale wants less housing near them, so they go upscale and put the housing "somewhere else." But because everyone does that, everyone is worse off than coordinating, because you left it to each locale independently. (and the NIMBY argument is of course, state level bad, county level bad, city level good, land holder bad...) These people are forcing not-housing on my plot of land. That sure seems to be "force your beliefs on others."

Then there's how the whole thing is decided by a city level election with like 30% turnouts, most of whom vote purely by uneducated simple creeds like "greedy developers", "more traffic", "protect home values."
I think if you don't think the criticism is worth responding to, you're better off ignoring it. If it violates the guidelines, people will usually downvote and flag it for you within a few hours. If they don't, it's usually because very few saw it anyway.

I think if you quote the guidelines at people, trolls will perceive that as blood in the water. Conversely if you give interesting responses to comments you think are worth addressing, people who are engaged with the subject matter will perceive it as an invitation to have a discussion with you. (There are two wolves inside of HN...)

You do you, but that's my two cents.
The landing page has way too much text. I don't see how the average person with ADHD would get through it to the service offered

In school, I studied digital logic (like, chips and hardware) as much as I studied anything software, but professionally I’ve only written code.

One of the biggest “disappointments” my professors shared - which I’ve never confirmed in industry- is that this is super common for digital logic, or else it’s just a “lookup table” with precomputed outputs for every input.
I'm not an encyclopedia of links.

You didn't link anything.

There are full time researchers with phds that go more in depth into why you're basically wrong about what you say.

Prove it. Show any evidence at all.

If you want to trust the summary generators you read of faulty logic, go for it.

I showed you multiple graphs.

I linked you six different studies and graphs. You linked nothing. You have no evidence. You just keep repeating yourself and saying 'think about it bro'. Show some evidence, show some data, show some statistics, show some real information.

It's possible they may have wanted that too, eventually. The phone # request came at the beginning of the appeal process.

> Avoid attempts at humor. For one, text mediums like HN can easily lead to misinterpretations; there are many people reading for whom English is a second language, so being clever can cause confusion for those readers;

On behalf of ESL people, you're offended? Maybe you should let them speak for themselves.

Humor is a big part of what makes life worth living. I love it when someone makes me LOL.

Maybe the non-native English speakers just think, "Well, I don't get that, but whatever." In their other reading, they'll run across idiomatic English sooner or later, too.

Don't take life too seriously. You'll never get out of it alive.
But follow the chain of this argument back up to the top. I was responding to a statement implying that everyone should have the resources to thoroughly understand the vast mountain of federal regulations.

You're objecting to my implication that companies should have sufficient resources to understand tax incentives - a tiny subset of federal regulation. Yet at the same time, you're supporting the idea that companies should invest sufficiently to understand a larger body of regulation, indeed a vast superset of what my statement implies.
Some of the unemployment shift is likely to come from the real estate market (banks, brokers, realtors); with as many closings as happened during the boom times of free money, we should expect normal times to require less staff and be less profitable.
That's fair. I'm not accusing him of pretending it's professional. More like it seems dubious of him trying to push his side hustle in his regular programming. It's like he's presenting a paid service as the natural progression from his free advice. And as if his trained coaches are a proxy for himself.
Yep. I tried to make a test account on Twitter/X to use the the API integration with, and dear lord it was a nightmare. Loads of captchas, the requirement to use a mobile number to sign up at all, and quite a few other issues I can't remember.

Forget about getting out of the walled garden, even getting in is painful if you're a late adopter or need extra accounts for whatever reason.
Personally I don’t think offices are good for collaboration either. The way people work together is fundamentally broken because it relies too much on synchronous communication.
I'm not sure about seventy-two of them, but there do seem to be brief little shifts in the climate here. A time to expect lightning bugs, that sort of thing. "Fall" seems grossly inadequate at times.

Right and for the home user, there is exactly zero benefit from this. There is no reason someone should have to go buy a new computer to replace one that's only 5 years old. A world where local accounts are an enterprise feature and hardware attestation is a home feature is completely backwards.

How would not having the source code be present/pre-generated, and thus needing to generate it at runtime, be an example of a decorator having no runtime effects?
There are two conditions to transit the bridge -- the size of the vessel must conform (which it does) and the crew and vessel must be certified to have completed the training.

What tasks should this secretary handle in a software company?
Yeah, DB replication and caching would be a pain in this scenario. Akamai cache busting is challenging enough in complex cases.

I can also imagine how you can have localized datasets with a centralized auth database, for instance. That way, you have something akin to sharding of the dataset to bring real-time functionality closer to a global user-base. For example, you can have an edge game server with a local state serving 20-30 players close to their physical location.

I wouldn't recommend this for 99% of web development tho.
A “complete”—i.e. functioning—tracing GC is a weekend project. (Mark-sweep, mark-compact, or stop-and-copy, take your pick.) Perhaps not as simple as basic unoptimized reference counting, but still not hard.

The hard part, the one that has occupied JVM engineers for almost three decades now, comes afterwards: when you try to make things not freeze when memory is low, or when you have multiple threads mutating the same heap, or ultimately when you’re adapting the GC to the particulars of your language. (E.g. Haskell has an awesome concurrent GC that’d work like crap for Java, because it assumes tons of really short-lived, really small garbage and almost no mutation. The other way around is also bound to be problematic—I don’t know how the Scala people do it.)

So a GC being tracing and not refcounting is not really a useful benchmark. And Go’s GC is undeniably less advanced than OpenJDK’s, simply because almost every other GC is. It can still suit Go’s purposes, but it does mean running Java on top of it is bound to yield interesting results.

(And can we please stop pretending C and C++ are in any way close as languages? Even if the latter reuses some parts from the former’s runtime.)

Bidenomics worked great, delivering record low unemployment as inflation fell faster than any other country in the G7. The US economy was full steam ahead for 3/4 of Biden's term, and is only now beginning to slow after the steepest FED rate hike in history.

But there's a reason "don't fight the FED" is a well-known adage among traders: it has the most powerful levers, so it always wins in the long run. They wanted to kill inflation, and the only way to do that was to slow the economy.

P.S. Your awkward attempt at partisan, clever humor is pretty embarrassing.
Another bullshit article. Thanks to articles like this companies waste resources on "ai safety" which practically means the model refuses basic requests because "oh it might offend someone and some journalist might smear our company".

Meanwhile open-source models are already there and are be here to stay. So instead of trying to uphold the unsustainable status-quo that images are trustworthy, it's time to realize they aren't.

I am genuinely curious about both the software and hardware stack if you were there every day due to something going wrong.

1. First of all, a good bare metal setup leaves much of the software fleet management able to be done remotely. So if you were there because of that then clearly this wasn't done right. I'm talking about SSH access at a bare minimum, and ideally out of band access as well.

2. I'd say the things that go wrong in a data center are plentiful, but should be predictable. Power, network or cooling related issues means you picked the wrong site or your vendor screwed you. That leaves us to the actual hardware. Sourcing good hardware is obviously critical. Modern Dell and HP enterprise machines should be giving you very, very reliable hardware assuming the beforementioned concerns are addressed. It is true that disks fail, and sometimes memory, but if you were there literally every day there is just a critical failure in your setup somewhere.

Even if you had a data center with literally a thousand machines. An uncorrelated failure happening every day is so unlikely that it's not really worth mentioning. Correlate failures could certainly happen. Bad batch of disks, etc, but still shouldn't result in you being there literally every day. I could imagine a series of bad days though, sure.
You're basically describing the no-free lunch theorem, but in practice we can define fairly robust generic models for certain things, like "physics". That's why optical mice work pretty well.

You can start to add unjustified assumptions and that'll make the world model weaker, yes. But starting with pretty basic assumptions like "you can segment an object from an series of images because each solid object will move on its own trajectory", or even more basic like "objects have edges" and then a few dozen samples per second, and suddenly you have a fairly robust way to detect things.

Same for predicting where something will go. If you can estimate an objects current velocity, acceleration, and jerk with reasonable precision, you don't really need a highly predictive heuristic for the world model.

For decision making you need more robust heuristics, like "the car to my left has right of way at the stop sign", but you don't need that level of heuristic to identify that there is a car and that it isn't part of the pavement and that it is currently sitting still.
