That is a huge assumption. There is a huge variety of ways in which societies, cultures and individuals relate and have related with death.
My last place also called it promotion-driven-devevlopment.

It got to the point where some dude built a system that completely floundered but got him a promotion. He then re-wrote it so it sucked slightly less and got another promotion. Last I heard he was working on v3.

Never mind that someone with actual domain knowledge would have either not built the system (since it didn't _really_ need to exist) or would have built a much simpler/more reliable system to get the job done.
It's all so plausible, isn't it? Especially with how much security actually gets baked into most devices...

Social media has effectively split in two directions, and the ends of the spectrum are Discord and TikTok.

TikTok is almost purely algorithmic, stranger-generated content consumption with the novelty factor cranked to 11. Discord has no algorithmic curation, voting, etc, and is just people talking that you have to curate yourself.

Facebook is trying to pivot in the TikTok direction. Problem is there are a lot of people who want to use it to connect with actual people (because that's kinda how it worked in the past), which is orthogonal to their mission of pumping the maximal possible amount of garbage into your brain.
To the degree that the server can differentiate them, yes.

For attested authenticators, the server needs to have a way to keep a list of them. I know some bank/finance sites (Vanguard I think is one) restrict to Yubikey or historically have restricted to that.

For non-attested authenticators, the server could unreliably fingerprint the response and decide to selectively allow. Obviously this is completely spoofable, if it's differentiable at all.
To add another to your list:

Being able to easily use different programming languages. Not every language is a good fit for every problem. Being able to write your machine learning deduction services in Python, your server side rendered UI in Rails and your IO and concurrency heavy services in Go might justify the additional overhead of having separate services for these three.
Yes, it is a blatant GDPR violation.

But the problem is that a bunch of EU countries have been letting their local newspapers run the same "a subscription or consent to personalize ads" playbook from day 1 of GDPR, with no consequences for 5 years. And there is going to be a paper trail on that, whether it is newspapers that got this approved with their DPAs or it was "just" that the DPAs have been silently burying the user complaints rather than acting on them.

It's going to be quite hard for those DPAs to apply a different policy to Facebook.
"Now"?
Another way to look at it, you intentionally saved the company half a million and you got paid what you think was the fair pay for it. It seems like the author might think it's too much money but the irony is that someone is clearly undercharging (helping skew salaries in the entire industry lower, of course) while execs get bonuses. There's nothing to regret if you can make ends meet, great job.
It doesn't matter because

> The algorithm just gives you more of what you asked for.

It doesn't matter whether you asked for more because you hate it or love it. The algorithm prioritizes identifying the content with which you will engage.
surely it's not just an energy problem - but a resource problem.

I dislike the "overconsumption" mantra (and its degrowth kin). The problem is waste - fast fashion is a great example. just stop making stupid choices - people still need clothes, and we still need lots of people.
It might be. However, GP's comment about "it's no surprise that members and nonmembers alike tend to hate both kinds of organizations" is not accurate for how Swedes generally see unions.
In Sweden, the union can blockade a company that they are "negotiating" with.

That means that all other unions will refuse to work with that company, and this goes for both suppliers and customers of the blockaded company. No more transportation services, buying parts, getting service people to show up when your equipment is broken, delivering your goods to customers, etc.

So, being blockaded is a risk which should be known going in.
This article refers to "public intellectuals" as only being men.
On their "immigrate" page ( https://ai.gov/immigrate/ ) , they say "We must attract, train, and retain the most talented workforce in the world," and mention H-1Bs as a part of that solution. But federal law caps H-1Bs at 60,000 a year, of which over a quarter goes right to Amazon and AWS (EDIT: Turns out I'm wrong about this!). Does the government as an employer get to circumvent the cap? Or are they suggesting that a larger share should be used for AI stuff? Or are they advocating raising the cap? Or is it just a meaningless website?
I feel like this article conflates monoliths with monorepos. You can have a more flexible (though not as "flexible" as microservices, perhaps for the better) engineering by just following the "libraries" pattern mentioned in the article and splitting each of the libraries into their own repos, and then having version bumps of these libraries as part of the release process for the main application server.

Doing it this way gets you codebase simplicity, release schedule predictability, and makes boundaries a bit more sane. This should get you a lot farther than the strawmanned "one giant repo with a spaghetti mess of code" model that the author posits.
This is up to the authenticator and is completely possible.
Is the IntelHDA audio driver only available for 64-bit MenuetOS? According to the release notes, it was first included in version 0.96X, which seems to be 64-bit.

The developer has only made one 32-bit version (0.86) availabe, though. Would be great to have past releases available as well.

EDIT: Apparently the 32-bit versions have not come too far in the last 12+ years -- in 2011 (when the Intel HDA driver was released), version 0.85 of M32 was downloadable: https://web.archive.org/web/20110615210928/http://www.menuet...

I'm learning some assembly (on FreeDOS), so MenuetOS is interesting. Was hoping to test it (+ the HDA audio, for 24-bit playback -- and maybe try to make sense of the audio driver source, for a hobby project) on a Dell Mini 9, which is 32 bit. It's time to move on then, I guess.

I suppose if you do that, they will communicate over the network likely via api and have the ability to scale independently.

But that's not the function in the article. The article implements `(a + b) / 2`.

And, on my system, simple `return (arr1 + arr2) / 2` takes 1.2ms, while the `average_arrays_4` takes 0.74ms.

No, it gives you what's trending for the categories you're into. I like biking. What kind of biking content does get the most likes and is therefore suggested on Instagram? Woman in tight clothes with unzipped tops. I'm into skiing, what kind of content do I get? Girls skiing in bikinis. I'm following some coaches for a sport I participate in, what kind of content do I get? Girls in yoga pants doing exercises at the gym.

For every category, there will be someone doing a sexualized version of it. Those get lots of eyeballs and likes, and hence get boosted into suggestions for that category. And it's not like I get every post like that. But often enough that I no longer scroll in public for fear of what NSFW things will show up.
Yeah but like all of that is true about the exterior algebra as well. Except exterior algebra is a bit more explicit about where you use the metric, which is really convenient when the metric starts to become important.
Quantity has a quality of its own. Dude named Piketty wrote almost 2k pages about wrt capital accumulation. The opposite of what you propose is what actually happens. For another example, please see Amazon.
We spend plenty of money on ideas. We need to pay for results. We should stop pretending government is ever going to be good at buying/building tech and change procurement to pay for innovative results. How many $50 or $100M government tech projects have to fail before we let them post an RFP that basically says do this thing in this amount of time for this amount of money with payment after we get the “thing” in time. I know an entire industry of innovative people (tech startups) who would find a way to get it done.
I'm not sure what point you're making. Driving the current state of the art in semiconductors requires something like a PhD in physics or materials science. There are certainly many PhDs in China (and being educated is more respected there than here) but Radio Shack and Shenzhen pcbs have little to do with this. They aren't growing the state of the art. Have you looked into the "democratic internal hiring and promotion policy" of those Shenzhen factories by the way? Shenzhen is as far from communism as you can get. Marx described workers being "a slave of the machine" as an inherent quality of Capitalism: and he is right (until these things can be automated).

I have no doubt that Chinese semiconductor output will increase in quantity and quality. I also have no doubt that it will be sold on the global market for capital and that capital will be the primary way the owners and workers of those companies are rewarded as well as the means used to create and grow the company.

Also, Radio Shack closed down because its customers moved online – that is simple supply and demand.

> This is kind of a weird way to think about it.

Yes - I fully admit that it's a weird way of thinking about it, but the psychology around pricing has a lot of this stuff. I genuinely don't know if I'm an outlier or not. Responses to pricing are rarely about rational cost/benefit analysis.

> That makes more sense. For me, it's worth it, but YouTube is my primary video entertainment source.

I have a limit to how much I'm prepared to pay for video serivces each month. If I add one, something else would have to go. So the issues with YT Premium are a mix of the bundling psychology, the indecision about giving up another service - and the competition with TikTok for (sometimes) similar content.

It's hard for me to give you a direct answer to how long it takes (and besides, there's a lot here that's helpful already), so instead, here's how I try to understand new architecture/code-bases.

I start by drawing it out. At whatever level I'm familiar enough with and then get someone's opinion on my architecture diagram.

I do this a few times and it really accelerates my understanding of anything new.

It turns the problem of understanding the codebase to a problem of first mapping it.

Once it's been mapped, you can familiarise yourself with the various components you've mapped out.

Hope this helps! And good luck :-)
You might interpret my previous comment as saying "it's okay to kill civilians", which wasn't my point.

Most large companies. There is a stark difference between the distinguished engineers and the tier below them in terms of asking people to stop doing things badly.
This should come as no surprise; for fifty years we have been ignoring climate scientists warning about the dangers of global warming and climate change.

That these tepid admonitions of yesteryear have turned into dire warnings should come at the surprise of no one.

The time to take this serious was 20 years ago. Now it _is_ an emergency.

You don't just stop being working class when you grow old.
The crisis doesn't abate because people haven't implemented any solution. The topic remains relevant because the future will still be worse if we don't implement sufficient changes, as compared to living with the changes from ~today onwards. That's my understanding anyway
I've typically worked in SRE and platform engineering work and that's where I've gotten exposed to these kinds of Rube Goldberg machines. Make a short list of them when you find them and then use them as a hit list during "cost cutting". Most people don't want to touch these systems because they look big and expansive and generally "work". They're just very poorly optimized.

Dare I say, any time I see a function as a service my brain immediately drifts to inspecting the cost implications of said process.

Show HN: Altersnap – AI profile photos, but y'know, they're you
tl;dr: Gen-AI images that don’t mess up your face, for fun and profile pics. Also super proud of our stack.

Hi! I’m Wesley/xwes/wesley@alteredlabs.ai. Together with a fellow Xoogler, we’ve been working on our AI stack and this app for the past year. It’s great to finally ship this thing and show it to people!

Record a short selfie video and see each frame in a different time and place. Each frame is processed by AI, and you’re recognizably you (not a long lost cousin) in every frame.

We really like the result. Look at the way

* light in the environment interacts with the face, neck, and shoulders

* collars cast shadows on necks

* light scatters through backlit hair

* there’s no “seam”

It’s inexpensive for you to use and for us to run. Get 10 Altersnaps free (~750 generated images). More via in-app purchase (~450 generated images for $1.50-$2.00). No subscriptions. We make a positive return.

We built Altersnap as a way to show off our stack. We have multiple prototypes running on it, but Altersnap was the one we decided to productionize. The stack is queue-based+containerized+surprisingly plentiful accelerator hardware = horizontally scalable. We’re always looking for new stuff to do with it. Got ideas/questions? Get in touch.

Thanks for checking it out!

You'd want to start with the United States Digital Service (USDS). They're basically a consultancy inside the executive branch to build tech solutions for the various 3 letter agencies. You basically do a "tour of duty" for a year or so (however long you want), tackling one of these solutions. And they go out of their way to hire folks like you, from FAANG and other tech companies, so you work with good people.

Without getting tied up in the whole "every language except assembly, Python and possibly JavaScript already solved this problem by forcing people to adhere to module-level APIs" argument, I think the crux of the issue is that the article just defines microservice architecture as any architecture consisting of multiple services, and explicitly states "there doesn’t have to be anything micro about the services". Which imho is watering down the term microservices too much. You don't have microservices as soon as you add a second or third service.

That was the main problem. There is a reason that the writers and actors have separate unions -- because the have different needs. Heck, even the animation writers have a separate union from the live action writers because they have different needs.

I imagine a proper coders union would look a lot like the screenwriters union. Minimum pay and benefits, but without the job protections for underperforms that so many dislike about unions, and the ability for top performers to get incredible pay.
