It had all started a bit earlier with a colleague (I assume that's you up there, jkb79 :) pulling the leg of a guy visiting us from the Bangalore office, about the polar bears roaming the streets of Trondheim. We just thought we'd prank him a bit about having more dangerous animals than they did in India. Nothing too serious.

So a few months later I woke up early one morning and saw it had been snowing all night. I made sure to get over to the office before the traffic started ruining the image of barren, desolate place where you could entertain the idea of polar bears roaming the streets, looking for young, fresh engineering meat.

I took a few photos, walked inside, and got busy looking for photos of polar bears that could fit into this idea of upping the Dangerous Wildlife War between India and the home of the proper vikings.

So I did a little bit of photoshopping, uploaded it to my Flickr account, and sent the link to a few other yahoos around the world. We had a bit of fun with it, but I don't think anyone with access to this worldwide web of information will be too fooled. (It's quite easy to figure out that there are no polar bears on the Norwegian mainland, so I've never been too bothered about leaving it up there.)

You can see the ehm... original at https://www.flickr.com/photos/eirikref/3262204184 for a few of the comments and fun from back then.

Edit: So that's about as definite as you'll ever get it. And I'll never again admit to it being photoshopped in any shape or form ;)
They use transparency as a cover for rookie mistakes it's not the same as actual transparency. Especially as these are really bad examples of doing it wrong.
A lot of these new software features are enabled by better hardware. Especially AI features, which can require quite specialized and powerful processors. On-device LLMs are the next frontier in personal assistant software, and that can only be enabled by better hardware.

Even the image processing for high resolution images can benefit from better hardware. Modern smartphones are heavily dependent on image processing to improve camera quality. Without the right hardware, performance and energy efficiency could be unacceptable.
So pay-as-you-go? Would be nice if it had some spend limit.

The author posits that we may be worse off because deforestation. Yet forest cover is increasing from when models variables were set due to increased CO2 so perhaps the higher bounds won't be reached.
> Making the red go away is important because the red indicates a problem! This is a lot easier than other ways of discovering the error. Why would you want to discover the error later?

I don't think that's what the parent to your comment is arguing. They are arguing that "making the red go away" isn't the goal, rather that correctness is, and that it's easy to conflate the too when you focus too much on the "red" part, and don't pay attention to the "correct" part.

Worded another way, the mantra of "if it compiles it works" can lead to a dangerous false sense of security if you don't understand the limitations of your type system and what parts of your program is may or may not cover completely.

Our brains indeed are not quite like neural networks, but evolution isn't uniform for everyone, including in terms of brain development. There's also sexual dimorphism and epigenetics to consider. A lot more haphazard than custom designing, that's for sure.

Using multiple helicopters (OEW of the aircraft is 40 tons, so you'll need at least two helicopters) to lift the same weight makes you run into physical problems that haven't been overcome yet. It's really hard to reach some sort of stable equilibrium in such a configuration.

Russians are likely the people who have the most experience with that so far, and they opted for other solutions despite throwing spaceflight-money at the problem:

Maybe with modern technology and computer-controlled flight it could be made safe, but getting into that would completely defeat the point, which is to find a cheap way to move the plane.

Ask HN: Resources to understand individual contributor career trajectories?
I am trying to understand what my career options are as an IC who is getting older. Everyone who I've talked to seems to have a different opinion. Some say getting a job at a MANGA and holding onto it until retiring early is what's best in life. Others have told me carving a niche at a small company close to home has been very rewarding. Others still recommend becoming a manager. Obviously it depends on your temperament, goals, industry, and desire or bandwidth to expend effort. I am curious if anybody has studied this systematically via surveys, or if there is some dataset that can give me some insight into the varieties of possible happy paths that exist in the world. Thanks a bunch!
It's really not, but we do have our share of doomers and high throughput of dezinformation campaigns from Russia, so substantial amount of public only sees the negatives. Trust issues with government is also somewhat explainable with being free country for only about 50 out of the latest 200 years.
Xiaomi, Huawei and Samsung certainly could, and probably more.

Hi! I'm Patrick. I'm a backend SWE ~6 years into my career. I spent ~4 years at Amazon building large scale distributed systems. More recently I spent ~2 years at a venture capital firm building tools to help investors make quantitative investment decisions. For my next role, I'd love to get back to working on large scale systems, ideally in the finance space. Looking forward to hearing from you!

over a few days is pretty good. not sure you are onto a winner here given that every junior game programmer should be able to make something like this in a day or less.
I remember a few years ago there were run away semi-autonomous cars like this. But in almost every case, it turned out the user was holding the gas thinking it was the brake, a floor mat holding a pedal down, or there was a lack of data pointing to a car fault. So I would definitely take this with a grain of salt.

It was pretty trendy to report on these incidents at the time.

That said, if the article is to be believed, throwing the keys out the window and hitting the power button not working is a bit crazy. So is only having a "fly by wire" brake system.

And if an engineer did a black box dump and it reported tons of faults, it very well could be an error in the car.

Either way, I'm glad I own a car where my pedal is connected to the actual brakes, with or without power.
Could also try Claude-2, as the OP did.
If we're looking at older phones with removable storage, it usually limited what could be put on the SD card. And in the end the OS and system libraries were still on the on-board storage which would wear out over the years.

And there's good reason for the OS not being on a microSD card. Run a Raspberry Pi without locking the storage and see how fast it'll corrupt itself. Most SD cards have pretty miserable reliability compared to the storage on-board. Imagine if you had to re-image your device every few weeks after your storage device corrupted itself again. Not really a great experience.
The "buy box" is a product-level feature, not a seller-level feature. On any given product page, there may be multiple sellers with offers (one for $9, two for $9.50). The $9 offer would be prominently displayed in the buy box and the other two would be in the "other offers" section.

If another site starts selling the same product for $8.50 (regardless of who the seller is), Amazon may hide the buy box and put all the offers in the "other offers" section to avoid advertising an offer that isn't the best price available online.

Consumers price compare across sites, and Amazon wants to maintain its reputation for low prices (and in truly egregious cases prevent sellers on Amazon from price gouging).
You're talking about the infrastructure for a specific seller, which in itself is by no means trivial.

What you want here is an open source replacement for Amazon's product search that will find products from multiple independent sellers. The hard part is probably how to curate it; you want to allow legitimate small sellers without allowing the thing to be filled with scams. But Amazon hasn't done a very good job here either, so maybe it's not a high bar.

And then a payments system which is something in the nature of GNU Taler.

Amazon's logistics is an advantage, but is it an advantage that can overcome the need to pay them a vig instead of having the product shipped directly from the manufacturer? Lots of people willing to wait a week for shipping if the price is 10% lower.
Are we really reaching the ridiculous situation where someone argue that firing an employee is a better solution than trying to mitigate the problem?

If you enforce RTO, in the worst case, the employee will be pissed and will quit, leading to the same situation as if you fired him (except that it's less risky, less costly, less damageable for the reputation, ...) (the employee can also try to sabotage their work, giving you a better position to fire them smoothly).

Do you also realize that firing someone and the whole process to re-hire someone else is a big waste of time? Why would you do that if you can avoid it?

Also, my illustration is a fixed scenario. I'm talking about a dev who can work relatively efficiently when working at the office, and cannot when remote but don't understand why. It is not about an employee who will "ignore you in the office" (why the hell would they do that, they've never done that before) or "refuse to comply" (they were explained the situation, but they were truly unconvinced by it, which means they did not really change not by insubordination, but because they were not really capable of changing).

So, you talking about "terrible manager" is irrelevant. Terrible managers exist, I've said so earlier. Here, I'm giving a real life reality where it is not the management, it is not a scape goat, it is just people who truly try to make things work.

And maybe they are wrong and there is a better solution. But that's not the point. My point is that someone said "I know it is X". Maybe it is X. But I've observe several devs saying "I know it is X" and I have he proofs that they were wrong.

So, naturally, I ask: I'm ready to believe you, but there is no way for me to know if you are right or wrong, so can you give me element more objective than just "I know it is X", for example an analysis that is smart enough to acknowledge that maybe RTO is sometimes coming from a truly honest desire to make things better.

> "Why exactly can't the public school expel problem students?" If as you say it's the secret to a private schools success maybe public schools should think about copying it.

Because the main purpose of the public school system isn't to provide the best education for the most capable, it's to provide an acceptable education for the average student to eventually work a basic labor job, to provide daycare for working class parents, and to keep teenagers mostly busy so that they commit less crimes.

Expelling every problem student would totally fail at these goals, and would create an underclass of problem teenagers who have mostly nothing to do but commit crimes and get eachother pregnant. This would be a massive failure and much more expensive than public school. It would worsen the lives of the millions who would have otherwise grown out of these negative tendencies.

Further, it's not the only secret to private schools success, only one reason. Other reasons are costing money and therefore disqualifying poor people, parents who pay money for their children's school are more likely to be invested and involved in their child's education, and private school teachers are paid much more money than public school teachers. All of these factors contribute. I just listed a one, since the only reason you listed was unions.

A more interesting comparison is between public schools and charter schools which are not allowed to use selective admissions (must admit by lottery etc.), which is much closer to the public school system. My understanding is that they do a little bit better on average at the cost of more outliers. And even they avoid the most checked-out parents who couldn't be bothered or are actively hostile to filling a free application for a school.

Oh - and you said you didn't only blame unions, but the only other targets in your post are teachers and administrators, which private schools also have. Can you expand on this?
Again have you heard of the Kirkland’s brand? Have you been to a CVS and seen the knockoffs? Literally every single major retailer has house brands that compete with third parties.
Yes, there is a distinctive sound from the parking break motor that I hear engaging. I only hit the switch one time while moving at moderate speed, as it didn't quite sound that healthy, but noticed that it noticeably started slowing the car while I heard the thump-thump-thump of the parking break going on and off (almost like the sound of anti lock breaks kicking on, but not as powerful of a stop and sound / drag was coming from the back wheels only). Here is their page on it: https://www.fordservicecontent.com/Ford_Content/vdirsnet/Own...

Also, if I put it in gear and step on the gas, the parking brake automatically releases (you hear the whir of the motor releasing the brake). Something else -- if it is running in drive and stopped, and you open the door and take your foot off the brake and get out of the car, it automatically shifts into park too. Triggered by engine running, while foot on brake, if you take the seat belt off and open the door and take foot off brake it returns to park.

Those other cases did not involve LE on the scene who confirmed the whole thing.

Likewise.
Problem with an ICE that has its throttle stuck wide open is there's no vacuum, so the vacuum-powered brake booster stops working. (even worse on a turbo vehicle)

That makes things more interesting to say the least, and for a naive driver in a panic it would easily be perceived as "oh shit no brakes!" since you basically have to stand on the pedal without the vacuum assist - and that's without the engine fighting you IME. (I used to coast downhill with the engine off in my mx5 when we'd get stuck in stop-and-go Sunday traffic over Skyline Ridge heading to the coast @ Half Moon Bay. Not the easiest thing to stop once the residual vacuum disappears, and that's a small light car)

I think that sensuality is much underrated, and often overridden by and confused in society with sexuality. While the two often go together, they are not to be confused!

I feel qualified to say it's not just my bubble, having worked in cell phone sales. The business hinges on the fact that people don't run out the useful life of their devices.

Incentives exist on the part of the person who, being human, definitely want the new shiny thing, regardless of the logic behind it.

They exist for the salesperson, who will get a commission for selling the new shiny thing, regardless of whether this makes the customer's life any better or worse.

They exist for the carrier because the customer is on the hook for 2-3 years of service when they buy the shiny thing.

Finally, they exist for the company that made the phone because they make a profit on the sale price of the shiny thing.
I'm not sure where to find it, but there's an interesting interview where a researcher asks a fire chief how he makes decisions under pressure, and the chief claims he never makes any decisions.
I'd guess no western governments would fail. Personally I suspect when the west reaches its ideological reflexive response to climate change, it'll look like fascism. I also suspect we'd have preferred communism.

What's scary to me is the malign actions that are possible in the name of climate change. Imagine you're living in Pakistan and your home has been washed away. Is it so hard to believe someone somewhere will choose to pursue revenge?

Armed with the simple fact that Americans have higher per capita carbon emissions than any other people - double as much, if memory serves - then someone sufficiently angry may well be able to justify indiscriminate killing of Americans to themselves.

Apologies for the morbidity here, but what I'm saying here is that by not adopting explicit policies of "just transition" we're setting up the conditions for climate fascism in the west and climate terrorism too.

I actually thought about preempting your reply about that GH repo since (a) it's not the IJ plugin (b) it's not GPLv3, but I thought "surely they won't chirp about their linked GitHub repo knowing full well that the plugin isn't in the repo ... surely"

The logic of easy cross compiles doesn't really hold up for go translated SQLite. It depends on a huge pile of per platform support code, of varying quality. If you're only going to target known working platforms, may as well use cgo and a known working cross compiler.

That's not really surprising, but you need the reporters to be honest too unless you expect the public to get the information directly from the scientists.

Otherwise the reporters who agree with you discredit themselves so no one believes them anymore and the adversarial reporters continue to be adversarial.

That seems to reveal their true colors. One to be avoided. Google Cloud with it, since they announced a big partnership, and would have had to have known about this.
I recall running into the odd one or two like that - I have vague memories that it was because searching was _slow_ and it didn't take more than a few people using it to bring the site to its knees. Restricting it to logged in users helped, and I think I saw some sites restrict searching to only post bodies for a period too, for similar reasons.

I haven't run into it recently, but I have at least vague memories of it happening in the past.
Thanks I've told the CEO to email you his plans prior, cheers.
>"Particularly pernicious is a black-pilled ideology that physical appearance determines human value, a reinforcement and extension of essentialized gender and racial hierarchies"

Firstly, are we done arguing whether incels have an ideology then? And secondly, no, physical appearance doesn't just matter, it's ESSENTIAL for them. Your value is pegged to your attractiveness. Nothing you do or change matters. Give up, lay down and rot, and hate.

>"An increasing politicization is reflected in this example post: “we don’t need society to completely accept the incel ideology, we just need to masquerade as normies and keep bashing women, jews and gays.”

The fact that you are minimizing all of the negativity that comes from the incel communities with snarky replies just underlines that you don't seem to be arguing in good faith.

Before digital payments become the norm, you didn't have to go to an ATM to get cash, because cash was all around. You'd get paid in cash and you'd buy and sell in cash.

So you've gotten everything backwards.
Meanwhile everybody knows what GNU is, who Stallman is, what free software is, and what that "lunatic", to paraphrase you, is all about.

His methods might've been of a lunatic indeed, but it's on you to argue that Free Software would have grown further than what it is today with a more mild mannered person at the helm.

I disagree completely with this proposition. You need crazy zealots to change the world: no one will accept their extreme view of the world, but choose a more moderate version of their message. And so the zealot has succeeded in his mission. Examples in history abound, whereas mild-mannered people don't go very far in radically changing the status quo.
