> The agile manifesto is a nonfalsafiable [sic] commentary on what was the status quo decades ago.

It's not a commentary. So.. you kinda failed already on that point. It's also not pretending to be a scientific hypothesis in the first place so "unfalsifiable" is a weird attack as it's just missing the point.. again.
Reading the agile manifesto made me realise there's no 'pure agile' that can save us - agile was rotten from day one.

"Welcome changing requirements, even late in development." after a decade in this industry words cannot express how foolish this is.
Sure.

So in your opinion why is it that it worked the countries in Europe, but not for West vs China/Russia?
For your dad:

I was a Stadia fan until I tried GeForce NOW and some of the "cloud gaming hardware services" (hardware, not platform). They were superior products, and did mostly the same thing. GeForce NOW is particularly slick, but their catalog is limited at the publisher level. I've found Boosteroid to be a great value while not being as limited.

I play on an Nvidia Shield most of the time with a Pro Controller for Switch.
GeForce Now is working great for me. But for this person's dad, it probably wouldn't work well at all. The interface is cluttered with game icons. Which is fine for me. But someone averse to tech would probably find it confusing & overwhelming.
"Fair Use" is not a thing that an act automatically falls into, it is a blurred line that can be argued in court (see what I did there?)

Being that fair use provisions in general protect "criticism, comment, news reporting, teaching, scholarship, and research" [0] I really don't see what it has to do with a commercial entity reproducing the content of creative work.

In particular I feel that OpenAI loses in the following test:

"4: Effect of the use upon the potential market for or value of the copyrighted work: Here, courts review whether, and to what extent, the unlicensed use harms the existing or future market for the copyright owner’s original work. In assessing this factor, courts consider whether the use is hurting the current market for the original work (for example, by displacing sales of the original) and/or whether the use could cause substantial harm if it were to become widespread."[0]

FWIW I support the abolition of copyright, but I think OpenAI should be lobbying to change the law if they want to argue that everything is a remix and no one owns their creative work.

I'd probably followup with one of Souder's books, "High Performand Websites" and "Even Faster Websites" both will cover issues of some common issues you may experience and the importance of metrics and measuring for actual performance issues.

Although today, a dependency graph is more invaluable for modern web apps... Odds are your project is bringing in some massive/slow dependencies.
Everytime I see the Slaughterbots video posted, I roll my eyes. There are currently many weapons capable of VAST destruction, and suddenly _this_ is where we should start drawing the line? If military drones were to become real and as capable as in the video, they would be hard to aquire, maintain, operate and keep hidden.

Besides that, yes, I do tend to believe that autonomous flying drones will play a large role in future conflicts. This dude I follow on Reddit thinks this based on what he is seeing going on in Ukraine[1]. I got sold on it as a possibility.

Although Eyes Wide Shut was still filmed mostly on a studio set in London where they recreated Greenwich Village, his other films took quite an interest in perfecting the settings.

Apple doesnt have on chip RAM either. They do the exact same thing PC manufacturers do: use standard off the shelf DDR.

The charging "cord" the author is referring to has that earth fault detection and does the amperage negotiation and what not in a box on the cord. Its not just a regular power cord. Its essentially a stripped down level 2 "charger" (EVSE) in cord form instead of a box to mount on the wall.
I think this view is overly pessimistic. I’ve started to find statistics like the ones in this article to be more or less useless. No error bars, no distributions, no detail - maybe that trend is really just the top 2% (by pay) of the (tech) workforce being laid off. If bigtech lays off a bunch of people and those people end up working for less at startups, then perhaps this is better for everyone, especially in a high-interest-rate economy where those startups need to build real value and become durable businesses.

Private markets are still going to look for alpha in the tech sector (most relevant to readers of HN), and there is still lots of dry powder that can only be held for so long. The next 5 years could produce some really strong businesses that are currently only ideas - as long as we’re optimistic and willing to keep going
> There is a what seems to be a significant number of people who don't "feel their lows."

Severe hypoglycemia to the point of what was described (death) is not reported in any of the recent device studies.

Level 2 or moderate hypoglycemia, very different from death, is reported at < 0.5% in recent closed loop system studies.

> Current CGM's can still require hours of "warm up", and many current pumps still must be removed for things like swimming so they don't get penetrated with water.

Current CGMs are water resistant but conveniently one is also not administering insulin while swimming either. The bionic pancreas is also dependent on CGMs and has the same limitations.

I'm really not sure what point you're getting at. Hypoglycemia is not what's being improved upon with current advancements, it's time in target.

> The USPS is actually pretty good at it too.

In my opinion, the USPS is mostly an advertisement delivery system, and every once in a while they deliver a very important letter from the IRS so that you have to look through all of it.

I do wonder what it would take to get Sundar Pichai out of the CEO spot. The board must like him, but my usage and faith in Google products has never been lower.
Nearby are the old blimp hangers from the remnants of the MCAS Tustin. They've been used for many things (including storing blimps, of all things) in the past several years. But notably germane here, they were used for the lunar set for the mini-series "From the Earth to the Moon" (well worth folks time to watch, IMHO).

The interesting part is that partly because the buildings are so big, they were able to tie helium balloons to the actors to mimic the lower lunar gravity. My tinybrain math skills puts those balloons at about 16 ft in diameter (assuming they were a single balloon, I have no idea). Those hangars would have no problem accommodating large balloons like that.
> Isn't this just FOMO?

I'd say plenty of people do things because they can envision it might be great, not because they feel FOMO. Do you never look forward to things without FOMO being the cause?

It also depends on how much of a reasonable idea you have about what you'd be getting yourself into, e.g. from participating in siblings raising children or other opportunities.
I care for my children because they need it and are mine, not because they are my preferred hobby.

The embrace of social media by the mainstream population was probably a mistake, but it is a mistake that our society can recover from whereas if humanity makes a mistake with an AI that is more capable than the most capable human institutions, there's no recovery because there is a good chance there is no longer anybody left alive.

More to the point, decision makers, e.g., in the US Congress, who were contemplating regulation of social media 10 years or 5 years ago knew that any harms caused by social media could be recovered from and can be probably persuaded that a mistake during "frontier" AI research probably cannot be recovered from.

The people pushing for regulation of AI research do not need to convince the decision makers to the point of certainty. If the average decision maker for example comes to believe that there is a 10% change that AI research will kill everyone (if left unregulated too long) they will shut down "frontier" AI research even it means lots of Silicon-Valley types and AI-sector investors get very sore at them because most decision makers (at least in the US) have grandchildren or the hopes of having grandchildren one day.

This is in contrast to the situation with social media 5 or 10 years ago, in which if a decision maker is only 10% certain that social media is harming the population, he's not likely to see that as a sufficient reason for making enemies in Silicon Valley and in those invested in Silicon Valley and as sufficient reason for doing the work of getting a law passed.

> Yeah, I'm not convinced, given GM's (and most automakers) reaction to Covid and the continuing chip shortage.

Automakers (and everybody else) reacted very quickly and shut down/decreased staff almost immediately.

Where they got caught out was in assuming that the semiconductor industry would return to normal quickly. That was a huge mistake.

Everything in business is so hyper-optimized to hold no inventory that nobody can absorb demand increase shocks of any amount, anymore. In addition, the fact the companies actively downsized during Covid meant that things couldn't even go back to pre-Covid levels quickly.
Aside from cable companies wanting to hide fees, is there any reason why this rule should be scrapped?
Well, hashes aren't strings, they are binary blobs often represented as a hex string. Storing them as bytea may give better performance than dropping them all into a humongous table, even though it wastes slightly more disk space (if values indeed repeat that often).
No, they require everyone use THE SAME MACHINE for consistency. Nothing about that requires them to use an ancient machine that is constantly broken with an abysmal service contract.

McDonalds has Walmart level bargaining powers with vendors. The current setup, where a machine breaks and you have to call a specific technician for insane rates is not an accident. McDonalds could change that tomorrow if they felt like it. No business relationship at McDonald's scale will ever be tilted away from their benefit.
> I am not an entusiast, the only thing I care about is my kids safety, hence a large SUV. When you will somehow remove drunks and low-IQ maniacs from roads, you can come and ask me to buy a smaller vehicle. Until then, please say for yourself and don’t attack my rights to safer roads

I feel like this has to be Poe's Law in action.

Larger vehicles are actually not safer, either for the occupants or for others on the road, counter-intuitively they are less safe. So, in actuality you've just outed yourself as a selfish a-hole who chooses the most anti-social option possible without actually looking at any of the data to make an informed decision. If you actually cared about your family the about the safest vehicle you can buy is a sedan, and you'd invest the money saved in keeping good quality tires on the car, keeping up with maintenance, and taking a performance driving class.

The existence of your unnecessary behemoth lumbering down the road is an attack on my right to a safer road, as well my right to live on an Earth that doesn't require me to live in a hermetically sealed bubble with filtered water and air to get away from the excessive pollution caused by your behemoth (not the least of which is the microplastics it spews everywhere).
> Which is why it's so annoying that I still need a Windows box for PC gaming.

Steam is not helping. Any game that only ships 32-bit x86 binaries should not be listed as having Mac support. Apple not only doesn't sell x86 Macs anymore, they don't even do security updates for Mojave. If you have an Intel Mac around, Bootcamp likely makes for a 10x better gaming experience.

I feel like Apple are really dropping the ball here. There's an amazing catalogue of classic games that could run really well under a hypothetical 32-bit x86 Rosetta. But Apple is doing Apple, and asking you to use their Game Porting Toolkit instead... Basically telling gamedevs, if you're not ready to go full Apple, don't go Apple at all.
Including the civil sector? Enforced by law, if discrination isn't going away by itself? Yes, I am all for that!
The problem is how to bill users for electricity consumed, because charging a car can cost $10 or more.

The simplest solution would be a kWh meter on the outlet, but someone has to read it.

Next would be a bluetooth, NFC, or optical interface that lets you send kWh credits from your phone without the charger itself needing a cell modem, but then the problem is how to store value on a phone without double spending or losing the money. That seems really hard, though a campground could probably get by with a 95% solution that errs on the side of refunding to the customer.
> But doesn't raising kids also provide a big set of exciting experiences you are trading-of against?

Maybe for you, but the value proposition isn’t there for me. There’s no indication that the world is willing to fix its global problems (climate change, housing problems and etc.), why would I also subscribe my child to this “fun”? It is weird to write that sentence, as I am generally a fairly optimistic person. But “let me sacrifice a ton, for a decent chance of misery of myself and my offspring” doesn’t sound right to me.

I was about to write a paragraph how my friends also like challenging activities, except having a child. But I couldn’t make my brain to compare “having a child” to a “challenging” activity. At the end, it’s one of the things, where you either want it or not. If you want people to want it, get the older generations to make a sacrifice for us and somehow fix the current socio-economic problems that’s discouraging the women.
50%?? Scrum is like a 1-2 hour planning/retrospective meeting per fortnight plus 10-15 minute standups every 1-2 days. How could that possibly take 50% of your time?

You did, but at the time it was just how things worked and it didn't seem difficult or burdensome. Certain things or services were simpler, because it was impractical for them to be more complicated or customized.
The really mind blowing part is that some chargers do have card readers on them but they are as reliable as the chargers themselves.

The Electrify America app works exactly as well as you would expect. Which is to say barely at all. First it is slow. Like, calling-a-thousand-recursive-lambdas slow. Second, it will get stuck on previous sessions so you can't start a new one. Third, support's script tells them to make you log out even though this doesn't fix the problem. Fourth, the login form in the app doesn't tag the password field to utilize iOS keychain so after logging out you have to know your password off the top of your head. The entire experience is one unending papercut. It's modern UXD meets bootcamp quality code.

And it's still the best network I have used! Chargepoint may as well not even exist!

There are parallels to Christianity or Islam too: if you don't 100% own the brand, it will be coopted by people who will redefine it and confuse everyone. Only the Catholic Church really controls its own brand and can actually define what it even is.

25K will either get you money for renting servers, or allow you to jerry rig yourself something like a 8x4090 machine.

The servers that most people would like to run (8xA100, 8xH100) are over 200k, and even if you had the money they're probably very hard to get right now.
One solution is to avoid using the word "scrum". Since nobody can really agree on exactly what it means the word is worse than meaningless. The word serves only as a conversation trap; many good conversations devolve into defining what "scrum" means--somehow we went from a meaningful conversation to endlessly arguing over the definition of a single word.

The polite way to say this is something like "people have many ideas about what scrum is, can you explain what you mean without using the word scrum, it would help my understanding".
Decades of vicious persecution and propaganda don’t just vanish.

It's only an iterated prisoner's dilemma because of vehicle height and difficulty in seeing farther down the road due to all the large vehicles. But in every other aspect, the data shows nearly the opposite that this person is stating. If they actually cared about safety they'd buy a sedan.

I interpret "GPU poor" the same way as "house poor", i.e. you're poor (lack cash) because you've use it to purchase GPUs, not that you don't have enough GPUs.
Jesus. They figured this out with gas pumps like 50 years ago. There's no need for an app. Period, the end. You pre-auth with a card, and then it stops giving you fuel when you hit the limit, or it stops after a certain amount. It then charges you based on how much you used when you stop charging. If you keep charging, it costs you more.
> and the theoretical use of the coins outside of investing is gone with the company

Gone? Theoretical? LBRY has been and continues to be one of the most—used utility tokens out there. The tokens are used in a decentralized network to pay for streaming video. That’s the whole point — if the company has folded but the network continues then that proves there was a strong utility case.

I am saying that just because there is utility doesn’t mean many of the sales weren’t also securities transactions. And the same goes for Yu Gi Oh. It doesn’t matter if there is a direct link with the price of the cards. When Yu Gi Oh is off the air and no one is advertising the toys and cards, are you really going to tell me demand will be unaffected? Children grow out of the toys, and new children will be marketed toys by OTHER groups that rise up after Yu Gi Oh. To say their efforts, expertise, advertising etc have no link to the demand for toys is a very dubious argument, some might even consider it preposterous.

> if a group of people made some products, marketed and sold them together then they would likely be acting in common enterprise

That was the prong of the Howey test that we were discussing. You claimed that there was no common enterprise with Pokemon. Yet the company behind Pokemon did all those things you mentioned — and it is in fact the exclusive rights holder to the IP, so no decentralized ecosystem can even legally rise up to dilute this common enterprise. That is how ALL of these media + merchandising plays work.

Finally, using assets as security / collateral for debt doesn’t mean that the assets are investment contracts. I could use lots of commodities and other assets as collateral for debt. They could even be pegged to the dollar, and still be worth a dollar. USDT for instance could hardly be considered an investment contract, right?
I don't doubt that, but speaking as someone building a non profit in stealth that covers the cost of permanent birth control for folks who can't get it completely covered by health insurance (or who have to rely on medical tourism to obtain it), I've spoken to many folks who adamantly don't want children and not because they are lazy or don't want a challenge.

Kids are a choice, not a mandatory checkbox. That is the thesis.
Why should I care about the "ice cream" purity gatekeeping? Frozen desserts are delicious. Italian Ice also isn't Ice Cream, does that mean it's bad?
It seems to require training on a static environment before it can actually execute and drive the race track, is that true? If so, wonder how long time / how much resources the training would require.

I first was under the impression that the entire thing was executed in real-time with onboard sensors and computer, but seems that's not entirely true if I understand it correctly.
