> This includes vague "something went wrong" errors

Assuming you’re talking about things like Siri here, this just seems like a generic exception handler to me. If it has a better explanation for what happened (can’t connect to the internet or whatever), there’s usually a better error, the generic one sounds like an error of last resort. I can’t imagine a system where there isn’t some error like this one.
Ask HN: How to be a manager? Any good sources for learning how to delegate?
Hi all, hope you are having a good weekend.

I have been a solo dev / indie hacker for a few (many?) years until recently when I added 2 people to my team (one engineer and one for marketing). Initially when adding them to my team I was kind of relieved that they would solve certain problems for me however after a few weeks I learnt while they do what I ask of them they also create new problems for me and I need to prepare a lot more which leaves less time to work solo. My impulsive thought at first was that maybe I should go back to being solo but soon I realised that I enjoy working solo and don’t really know how to be a manager or how to delegate.

Has anyone here faced something similar? How did you learn to become a manager?

I would really appreciate if you could point me to some good sources books videos courses any material that could give me a good 101 on being a manager and delegating work / using Human Resources, also using positive approach whilst giving feedback. Also, do you have any heuristics you use to measure your effectiveness at delegating?

Any help is appreciated, thanks!
Like I said: boring.
Thanks! I don't have a GPU though, so I'm assuming it isn't going to perform very well. I'll have to see if there are any models that can run on CPU only.
Since parent is talking Python, I resort to APScheduler whenever I need cron-like features.

https://apscheduler.readthedocs.io/en/3.x/modules/triggers/c...

`sched.add_job(job_function, 'cron', day_of_week='mon-fri', hour=5, minute=30, end_date='2014-05-30')`

Sometimes also `schedule` https://github.com/dbader/schedule

`schedule.every(5).to(10).minutes.do(job)`
You left out the punchline that comes in a following paragraph:

> However, the joint leaders after two of the 11 rounds were a big surprise: the youngest player Abhimanyu Mishra, 14, and the most controversial, Hans Niemann, 20.
Between ~6 weeks (lands right before a new beta is branched, beta is 6 weeks long) and ~12 weeks (lands right after a beta is branched, takes 6 weeks until the next beta, then beta is 6 weeks). Sometimes a larger feature that would stabilize just before a beta is branched will deliberately be held until after, just to give it some extra cooking time, though this is rare.

I don’t know off the top of my head exactly where we currently are in that cycle.
All of your densities would be higher. Input, chamber, and exhaust would all have proportionally higher pressures and use more air. (And gas? I don't know if it's aerosolized or vaporized.) In theory this should all cancel out, although the absolute pressures and variable reaction rates and friction probably cause issues.
> The wayland_display_connect function returns EINVAL or an fd. Both are positive integers. It should instead return -EINVAL.

Or maybe return -1 and set errno? I haven't seen many C programs that return negative errnos (excepting the linux kernel which uses negative errnos internally).
Anecdata: I ate 3500-4000 calories a day of mostly junk in high school and college. I lifted weights some. I (barely) “had a six-pack”. No sports, only incidental cardio.

Around age 21 or so, I decided to try to drop a couple pounds and make it a really cut six-pack. I ate a strict 1400 calorie diet (packaged food to make it easy, no cheating at all) for about three months. I started running a couple times a week. I’d reckoned this would only take a month or so. Found the calorie deficit pretty easy, actually. Three months in, the scale showed one pound of loss.

Discouraged, I returned to my old eating habits.

I immediately gained about 15lb. Had to drop soda completely to stabilize it (i didn’t drink much alcohol then). Slowly got worse through my 20s. By 30, not turning into a blimp required a careful diet. No more 4k+ calories of pizza, soda, and potato chips without (visible) consequence.

My metabolism 100% for-sure changed in my 20s, a ton, not gradually. But I may have killed it, and perhaps I would have been able to keep doing what I was doing another couple decades otherwise (I would bet zero dollars on it, but hey, I guess the science disagrees, I just find it literally incredible)
Unfortunately, games involving human reflexes or difficulty-to-see visual clues aren’t very fun against strangers who can run what they want on their devices. Because cheating.

I don’t think a good solution exists except to keep those games to locked down consoles only.

But maybe a more transparent appeals process could help, even if it gets expensive.
Not the GP but I’ll give my take:

The long term value for an RTS is with the multiplayer. The problem is that the games are incredibly demanding to play. It takes a lot of practice and experience to get good enough to get off the “bottom rung” of the online ladder, just to be able to reach close to a 50% win rate.

Many gamers find this too stressful to deal with. They end up quitting the game and moving on to something else. This causes the “bottom rung” to move up in skill, as the weakest players leave. Since winning in these games is zero-sum it gets harder and harder to win the more weak players leave. Eventually only the most dedicated players remain, making it extremely difficult for new players to break onto the scene.

The other aspect to RTS games, the single player campaign, takes a lot of effort for the developers and designers to build. Unfortunately it has very little staying power. People play through the story maybe once with each faction and then either try out multiplayer or move on to a different game.

5 is an odd requirement potentially better implemented outside cron, such as with a single line of shell code involving the "at" command (and "expr" to scale a /dev/random value).

4, 6, 7 gets you into "enterprise" (not the StarTrek thing;) territory. Think about it: how to represent that a job has or hasn't finished successfully? Using a process return status, or maybe something more persistent, restartable, or federated and independent of a PID eg. a state stored in a database, which involves further design trade offs such as transactional isolation, locking, eventual consistency, etc.

Non-replaceable battery has got to be one of the most profitable examples of planned obsolescence. Your average consumer is going to notice that their phone is lagging more frequently and attribute that to their phone being old… when in reality it’s just that their battery has degraded [1]. So, what could’ve been a <$100 replacement becomes a $1000 upgrade.

Side note, I couldn't help notice that both your comment and the article at one point spell the word "meat" with a double E (as in meeting) - we can tell it's a speech-to-text mishap given the context here, but it makes me wonder how often this happens, and how much of an issue this is when the tool is used on a daily basis.

It's not a voice recognition issue as presumably both pronounciations are identical - so it's up to the software to infer the right word from context cues or grammar rules.

I've noticed quite a leap in the quality of dictation/STT over the past 10 years or so, and I really hope this and other features can continue to improve at this pace.

It may be just an impression but ChatGPT used to give me very dry answers bordering on being dismissive and it got better and even enthusiastic when I started using Please... And this has been for technical questions, documentation, etc. I suppose that the Please token filters out some less friendly neuron pathways in the model.

> When interest rates for new bonds go up, the value of existing bonds go down.

I'm sure skybrian understands that. The question is why prices fell more recently than they did back in 1981, when Volcker pushed interest rates much higher.

Apart from the fact that the Fed sets short term interest rates, and bonds, being long term loans, do not necessarily go the same way, there is the pesky behavior of derivatives. If price (p) as a function of yield (y) goes as

p(y) ~ 1 / y

then its derivative, i.e. how much price will change in response to a change in yield is

dp/dy ~ -1 / y^2

which tells you that price will move faster at lower yields.
In addition to ISPC, some of this is also done in software fallback implementations of GPU APIs. In the open source world we have SwiftShader and Lavapipe, and on Windows we have WARP[1].

It's sad to me that Larrabee didn't catch on, as that might have been a path to a good parallel computer, one that has efficient parallel throughput like a GPU, but also agility more like a CPU, so you don't need to batch things into huge dispatches and wait RPC-like latencies for them to complete. Apparently the main thing that sunk it was power consumption.

People use the term "hallucination" to refer to output from LLMs that is factually incorrect. So if the LLM says "Water is two parts hydrogen and one part oxygen" that is not a hallucination.

I frequently encounter issues at self-checkout where I scan an item, hear a beep, assume it's added to my total, but the previous item hasn't registered on the scale yet, so it doesn't add the item.

These systems are often rigid, hard to use, and differ between stores. Sometimes, customers are blamed for theft, but it's not always intentional. Many struggle with these systems. Why can't they make self-checkout user-friendly?

A new release is cut from the master branch every six weeks, and then spends another six weeks in beta before being promoted to stable. Assuming the stabilization isn't reverted, this feature will be in Rust 1.75, which will be released to beta on November 16 and to stable on December 28.

Glucose is a common carrier fluid, and in this particular case is given at a very low concentration (D5%). You need to infuse glucose as part of your parental nutrition regimen. This is standard practice across intensive care units, and they probably wouldn't have gotten approval for the protocol without it.

As an aside, my company [1] is working on solving this and other problems by focusing on glucose control. When you keep the blood sugar under control, sepsis develops at much lower rates and mortality decreases across the board by 20-30%.

You have identified the key point, thank you. Sometimes, things are complicated enough that you want to break configuration up into multiple units. But not always. At the moment, systemd forces you to always break it up, even when that does more harm than good.

Not to mention that brick and mortar retail always has to worry about online retail nipping at their heels. It's hard to compete on price with an Amazon warehouse in a cheap-rent area, staffed with robots and overworked staff when you have to maintain a building in a retail area, keep it clean/nice enough that people aren't totally appalled, and then staff it with people that are able to do their job and interact with customers.

The original b&m retail game was to keep the big ticket items comparable in price, but to add high margins on the ancellary items like HDMI cables. Now, however, everyone knows the game and things like Prime shipping can get it to you fast enough to avoid impulse buying in a retail store.
Such a strange take. We have no choice but to use our brains??? It is also an incredibly capable system! At some point if the capabilities are so drastically different is it confusing that you would choose a much more capable system even with all its flaws?
* Extreme events reveal an alimentary limit on sustained maximal human energy expenditure.

"We compiled measurements of total energy expenditure (TEE) and basal metabolic rate (BMR) from human endurance events and added new data from adults running ~250 km/week for 20 weeks in a transcontinental race. For events lasting 0.5 to 250+ days, SusMS decreases curvilinearly with event duration, plateauing below 3× BMR. This relationship differs from that of shorter events (e.g., marathons). Incorporating data from overfeeding studies, we find evidence for an alimentary energy supply limit in humans of ~2.5× BMR; greater expenditure requires drawing down the body’s energy stores. Transcontinental race data suggest that humans can partially reduce TEE during long events to extend endurance."

Sacrificing customer comfort and customer goodwill is the new forefront of business optimization, and it is reaching levels where every interaction with every company always leave a bitter aftertaste for the customer. It all started with the famous tale of the airline that saved millions by giving passengers one less olive each, and it became a race to the bottom with companies continuously trying to find the crappiest experience that customers will still tolerate. The self checkout theft prevention measures are just the latest example, where they purposefully make the machines a bit hostile to everyone, making everyone's experience feel bit worse in order to prevent a percentage of thefts. It burns customer goodwill, but at the end of the day they decided that too much goodwill won't bring profit, so they might as well burn that goodwill to try and extract something from it.
