This is of course not the purpose of your post, but since you're interested in this topic, I wanted to mention that you can now create memory-backed files on linux using the memfd_create syscall without using any filesystem (nor unlink) and you can also execute them without the /proc/self/fd trick by using the execveat syscall. In glibc, there is fexecve which uses execveat or falls back to the /proc trick on older kernels.

> I think this trend will continue and the expected outcome is going to be lower demand and lower salaries for software engineers

There’s already a huge range of efficiency with programmers (ex. The concept of a “10x” programmer), and it’s not tightly correlated with head count. In most organizations, managers just pile more work on people who get more stuff done.

Additionally, so much of the day to day of being a programmer isn’t even about writing code.

I can understand having GitHub copilot write a snippet of code that you then use or modify but if you don’t understand what it’s doing, it’s not tenable. Which means you can’t completely remove a human worker from the process. What if it doesn’t fit your specific requirements and you can’t figure out how to tweak the prompt to produce what you actually need? Is it really that different than copying and pasting something from Stack Overflow?

What happens when your service gets hacked and nobody understands the codebase enough to fix it? You hire an outside firm to put the fire out but you’ve lost a ton of money, customers and are perhaps now in a lot of legal/litigation trouble.

What happens when frameworks and language change, and LLMs can’t train on new data because scraping has been blocked?

Creating good software is incredibly difficult, even for teams that are appropriately staffed with a good headcount of skilled developers and other support roles.

I actually think the opposite is going to happen over the next 10 years: I think software development is going to continue to get more and more complex and less efficient and more abstraction layers will continue to be piled on.
why did you move back? I'm also from midwest, the move here was already hard enough frankly I think I'm just going to stay put for some time

Non-employee owners vs employee owners taking extra profits, same problem. Difference is the un-democratic owners can more easily reinvest to expand the business instead, and in many cases they do.

Do not use the Smart TV, Roku, Chromecast, Fire stick, cable box, or any other nonsense.
Get a real computer, aka an HTPC (home theater PC).
If gaming interests you, get a Windows PC, otherwise Mac is fine.
Connect it to the TV with an HDMI cable.

Congratulations. Now by using both legal and illegal methods you can watch pretty much every TV show or movie ever, probably with no ads. And if you choose illegal methods, it will usually be free. You can also play just about every video game ever.

And what's great is you only have one box under the TV. That's it. A very clean setup. Throw every other box in the trash. You won't need them. A real computer can do everything they do, and more.

An AppleTV can be an acceptable choice because you can use a Mac and Airplay, which is sort of effectively the same thing as having the Mac directly connected to the TV.

I've lived with this setup for almost 20 years now, and it still can't be beat. I really don't understand why anyone with the technical knowledge to set this up would choose anything else.

I'd prefer the term Owner-Worked... because once you're an owner, you shouldn't be able to just think of yourself as a "worker". It's about taking responsibility for more than your assigned role. That's what owners do.

Can we talk about the dark-pattern in that email body?

- Mention that this doesn't include name/address/phone number, while glossing over that this allows near-GPS level tracking (the "address" part is particularly offensive).

- Talks about what "Google Fi" uses CPNI for, including a bullet list, which is completely irrelevant and not why they're sending this email. It is literally so that you'll skim it, and not read the next paragraph.

- Imply that this is authorizing "Googling LLC" (and other Alphabet companies). But what this is actually doing is authorizing Alphabet's affiliates meaning up to every company in the world.

- They updated the ToS but didn't mention what changed.

Climbing Mount Everest Is About to Get Even More Expensive
Ideally? Mobilize like WW2 to decarbonize the economy. Quadruple the cost of fossil fuel via taxes and then use those funds to help the lower 60% or so survive by giving money direct to consumers for food, heating, etc. The markets will rapidly adapt as most tech is there, we just misallocate the hand of government spending.

Realistically since what I proposed above is non-viable? Increase the cost of producing fossil fuels through more direct means, of which discussion is banned on most of the public internet.

What a crock of shit!

They're literally constructing and deconstructing a shanty-town capped at 80,000 people, hauling all that material, in and out (what they don't just burn/explode), every.year.

When will this circus get its act together and just build an actual city? This whole event is wasteful down to its core, it's literally the whole point. Leave No Trace means Haul it all in, and Haul it all out. Buy some land and put down some roots and skin in the game you clowns.
I see a lot of comments saying "don't connect to the Internet".

I think that's exactly the wrong reaction to what's going on. You should be able to buy a TV, connect it to the Internet, and only have it display what you want. In addition to that, you should be able to block all data going out.

I am talking about fighting for fundamental consumer rights here, not spending a couple thousand dollars on a product to then degrade it to the stone age.

Why over $2K? Picture quality, local dimming LED array, etc. I would not spend $2K on a crappy image. And yet, I stress, I went to the store to buy a TV, not a remotely-operated digital advertising sign with data gathering capabilities.

That's what these manufacturers are either failing to understand or choosing to ignore.

The question of "what is a real-time GC" is academic because nobody actually wants a real-time GC. They want a real-time system. And some GC algorithms can be used to construct a real-time system. Indeed, as others have noted, SBCL can be used to construct a real-time system if you don't do any allocations.

Stop ignoring climate science and stop politicising it unnecessarily, then take steps to move to renewable energy and cut down CO2 emissions from all sources. Figure out how to keep oil money out of public discourse.

And do it all 20 years ago. Like everyone was saying at the time.

We do this internally at my company with Qt5.15.2. We built Qt from sources for both Apple Silicon and Intel first and used those outputs in our app builds.
The tl;dr is that you have to build your Apple Silicon binary with Qt for Apple Silicon, build the x64 binary with Qt for Intel, and then use the Apple "lipo" tool to stitch the two together. This can all be accomplished on an Apple Silicon Mac.

The tricky part for me was figuring out that I had to switch the shell to x86_64 to run the compiler tools for the Intel build, after running the compiler for the Apple Silicon build under an arm64 shell.

Ask HN: Would you have an interest in a Document Automation project?
Hi HN,

Since leaving my job I've created a prototype of a project that would have helped me immensely in that job.

It is essentially a self-hosted document creator where you can chain all kinds of sources together (CSV/excel, SQL queries, API calls, user forms etc) where the output of one can be the input of the next and create 1 or more documents (Word, PDF, HTML, all kinds of outputs) using a template engine for each.

I'm wondering if anyone would have an interest in this project, and if so would then do up a Show HN demonstrating what it can do.

An example would be setting up a workflow that asks a user for an order Id (via a form), and then the order details are then collected from a SQL database using that Order ID, and then maybe you work out which disclaimers are required to be attached from some excel file, and then an invoice could be created, the relevant disclaimers attached, converted to PDF and then emailed to the client.

You could then provide the URL of this workflow to any user in the company and they could fill out that form as required.

Or even better, use the API it has to submit the order id without the form so this process can be attached to some other automatic process.

Thanks and I appreciate any feedback.
The latter mostly. It's also free, uncensored, and can never disappear from under me.

FWIW, from my understanding llama.cpp is pretty easy to integrate and is reasonably fast for being API agnostic. Ollama embeds it, for example. No pressure, just pointing it out :)
Congratulations on your literal launch! Some questions:

Everyone is different and has different motivations. We don't all think the same way, either.

Some workers just want a stable, sane work environment and are willing to compromise on pay for other benefits. These same people are typically willing to let others do more work for more pay because it makes their own lives easier.

One possible approach: you could do an exercise where everyone gets $N imaginary dollars and they can bid to not do certain tasks. The bid against each task is then the compensation for that task.
I understand there has been some progress on this front, but it's not nearly enough. We need stronger protections for whistleblowers and security researchers. Corporations and legislators wont write these laws for us because it's not particularly in their interest. Well, maybe senator Wyden and a few other highly ethical and tech savvy legislators well help, but the onus is on us as concerned citizens and perennial victims.
Odd. Thanks though, appreciate hunting down the link for me!

We won't know if this is legally sound until a company who isn't forbidding A.I. usage gets sued and they claim this as a defense. For all we know the court could determine that, as long as the content isn't directly regurgitated, it's seen as fair use of the input data.

> If have to pay your people below market wages to survive you don't have a business

How does one pay below market wages? Someone's market wage is established by observing what they are being paid. They will always be equal, unless you mean an employer is illegally withholding funds owed to the worker?

> I cannot buy produce from a farmer for less than it costs them to grow it

Haha. As a farmer, I have lost money selling my produce more times than I wish to count. The customer couldn't care less about how much it costs you to produce a product. They are only going to pay what it is worth to them and not a penny more. The secret to a sustainable farm business is understanding how to weather those times when it costs more to grow the food than what the customer will pay.
Sometimes you can just raise a PR and provide an arm build. I did this recently with a lisp library I use.
There are also plenty of screening tests that catch multiple kinds of cancers. But focusing on individual tests misses the forest for the trees. Sure when you look at ever smaller subsets the benefits can seem smaller in each subset, however that’s directly offset by there being more groups.

Critically, these studies are backward looking they can tell you want taking such a test in 2017 followed by getting treatment in 2017 might do, but that doesn’t directly translate to what taking a test in 2024 would be worth.

As to changing all-cause mortality, when you’re talking 8 billion people even moving the needle by a single day represents another 5 years for 4 million people. That’s a big deal.

Treatments for the young tend to move the needle more because the young are likely to live longer. However in the developed world we’ve mostly plucked the low hanging fruit. That’s more or less the definition of a developed country, the obvious routes for development have already happened.
"Quadruple the cost of fossil fuel via taxes" - It's not what people want to hear, but this type of taxation will have no practical impact on the fossil fuel use of the world. Any fossil fuels produced and not consumed by the west where those tax regimes exist, will be consumed by the developing world. The overall world use of fossil fuels will continue to increase.

Nuclear does have a hope in changing this dynamic. But even then, fossil fuels have powerful advantages that won't be easily overcome any time in the next 10-15 years, at least.
