AI/ML's bitter lesson [1] applies again. In this case, the AI model may have learned a more practical model than the one human researchers painstakingly came up with by applying piles and piles of physics research.

What are you talking about?

It does seem like the simplest explanation for why Samsung both makes their own Android apps and seems to consistently half-ass them, is because they're meant to serve as leverage for negotiating with Google, not something they expect many end users to actually use.
This is an under-rated comment. I had a similar revelation that eventually led to the conclusion that the computer is a crucial part of the distraction, and that many activities are best performed at least partly without it. Examples include:

- taking breaks

- thinking through a problem

Hey HN. This is a follow up to a post from earlier this year that seemed to have polarizing reactions: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=35977057.

Basically, we're addressing the community's feedback and providing general updates on the project. Open to any and all thoughts.
Maybe Clojure. In 2022 it took the top spot for "Top paying technologies" in the annual StackOverflow survey [0], and in 2023 it tied with other lispy languages [1].

That said, I don't think it matters much. A developer familiar with some lispy language (and perhaps functional programming) should be able to quickly pickup any other lispy language. And the developers that make the most money have probably used a lot of programming languages, with different paradigms.

I honestly wish I could Capitalism better but I'm just so bad at seperating out from the fact that its zero-sum and nobodies truly profiting even if there is an uneven distribrution of "winners" and that I might do harm where it might not have otherwise existed, although I sense the naïvety by realizing someone else would literally take your spot.

Samsung's version of Android certainly feels bloated compared to stock Android but it has much better features.
Lets put it this way, in an alternative universe where Linux did not happen, after BSD had won the lawsuit against AT&T, there would be UNIX as usual with everyone taking the bit and pieces they liked from BSD into their own UNIXes.

To be honest I wouldn't mind, I always liked SGI, Solaris, HP-UX and Aix better than plain GNU/Linux.
> And what happens when these rates achieve parity?

Is there data to suggest that teachers are lowering their error rate enough to eventually reach parity? In particular out-pacing the technology which continues to lower its error rate.

I don't think error rate is a useful metric, otherwise we'd already be replacing teachers. There is much more to teaching than being hyper-accurate.
You're misreading it, but the reality goes further than you're imagining. Section 702 allows data collection for non-US persons, regardless of what they're communicating about. Sometimes those collections also vacuum up names of US persons; basically incidental collections. There's apparently a process called "targeting and minimization" to strike the names of US persons gathered in this manner, unless a warrant is obtained.

What may really blow your mind is that s.702 also authorizes collection of foreign data held by subsidiaries of US companies. Foreigners making decisions about data residency need to understand this, but many don't. It is not sufficient to avoid s.702 to just store data in a foreign datacentre, if that datacentre is owned by a subsidiary of a US company.
Thank you for all your recommendations. Latency is not a concern because we will use that rack to store logs, metics and other telemetry data for our customers.

I believe major concern is power + bandwidth and good support because we wont be able to drive / fly there at moments notice.

>I mean, sure, but I've been using Pixel phones since the beginning and the worst thing I've seen is shitty reception in a parking garage.

But that doesn't mean the current Pixel model for sale, is also good just because you had a good older mode in the past. Google is just not consistent at building quality phones over the years and fluctuates a lot between hits and misses in various areas with each model they release. They just suck at building HW and supporting their products.

>the worst thing I've seen is shitty reception in a parking garage

You see, that's a massive problem for me and a lot of people who see our phones as devices that should reliably make calls in all challenging situations as it could mean a matter of life and death, not necessarily in a parking lot, but hiking, camping, traveling, driving, etc, etc.

The fact that my phone has reception issue in some cases, is an instant deal breaker no matter how fancy Google's AI photo tech is.

Oh, and cherry on top, last week I had the immense "pleasure" when I launched the Google phone dialer to make an urgent call to my doctor, instead of being allowed to instantly dial a number, I was greeted by a prompt on top asking me how many start I rate their dialer app before I could dial. I wish I was making this up. Who the F at Google thought this was an acceptable UX to be pushed to production?
Every thought we express, happens in the context of something we've read or discussed etc. before. For example, this comment is based on the original text linked, the comments here on HN, and my own thoughts.

I think a writer should include all the references that lead to their thoughts expressed in the texts. This way the reader could follow these links to explore more adjacent topics. To me, it seems like the ecosystem of small website could improve on that. I'd rather explore other writers based on some topic than on a blogroll.

In scientific writing this has a long tradition called related work. In some fields it degraded a bit into a section that merely lists all the works that should be named rather than a deep discussion of their contents.

Obviously, this is also the original idea of Berners-Lee for the web.

A good example that comes to my mind is this: https://www.astralcodexten.com/p/somewhat-contra-marcus-on-a...

I disagree, it is the exact opposite in my opinion. Compromising data about myself isn't relevant to China (I am not in China), but perhaps relevant to my current or coming government.

The exception is if I am an official, a public persona or a dissident of the country doing the spying. But for everything else the impact of your own government spying on you is much more relevant.

Of course situations were friendly states spy on each other notwithstanding.

The biggest issue with nuke power is it takes forever to build and we just stopped for 30+ years in the US so we're behind the curve and it wouldn't come online fast enough to hit climate goals so we need to do other faster stuff and nukes to build a baseline power support.

Isn't it interesting how we immediately get uncomfortable with that thought? I’m sure I’m not the only one.

Logically, there’s no reason to get upset about bodies being ground up after they’re dead (since, well, they’re dead). But something about the (cultural?) sanctity of death and burial turns a whole lot of gears in my brain that I can’t explain.
Without knowing where you are, it's hard to say. But things to look out for: What is included in the monthly fee? Is power extra? What about a second power strip for the backup power supplies? Is network included? How much? Often they charge per network port connection, in which case how fat is each connection? Is it billed by 95th percentile or raw bits (you want 95th percentile)? Are there access fees (some places charge you every time you enter the facility)?

What is their connectivity? Which Tier 1 providers are they directly connected to? What is the total bandwidth connected to the datacenter? Do they have direct connects to other providers? Direct connects to AWS/Azure/GCP?

I'd build a spreadsheet with the answers to all of these questions. Color the cells green/yellow/red based on how you feel about the answers.

You won't be able to compare directly between them but it should give you a good idea.

In the spirit of discussion, this article (2021) makes the argument that it would correct existing bugs in curl:

> There are 95 bugs [in curl]. By my count Rust would have prevented 53 of these [in 2021].

https://blog.timhutt.co.uk/curl-vulnerabilities-rust/

The curl author (Stenberg) has said:

> I don't believe in rewrites, no matter which language. I believe in replacing code and fixing components gradually over time. That could mean that we have a curl written mostly in rust in 10 years. Or in 20 years. Or not.

Wouldn't the best strategy be to buy a cheap Chinese phone and install stock Android?
I generally find LLMs to be useful, but I think these kinds of proclamations are a bit overblown. Many students do not want the kind of introspective, solo learning experience that a chatbot on a laptop provides. They want a social experience or a physically active experience, not one that requires them to sit quietly in a chair for 8 hours a day. And honestly, a classroom of students staring at screens talking to AI bots sounds like a dystopia to me.

All of the best educational experiences I've had in high school and college came from a passionate teacher that conveyed excitement to the students. Or (especially in college-level philosophy courses) they were small discussion groups that went on for hours. Neither of these things is going to be replicated by talking to a chatbot and most of these applications are just further extensions of a (in my opinion) broken industrial educational model.

That aside, I do think LLMs could be useful as a supplementary tutor, especially when your teacher isn't up to par.

I'm not a fan of a bland list of websites, because it feeds into my FOMO and either I find the courage to click on all the links to add them to the pile of I-will-read-this, or more likely I realize I will never have the time to do it and just close the website.

A better model is to have a list of bookmarks, to specific pages if needed, with a small description of why it's worth looking at it. That's the model of shared bookmarking behind shaarli (and others before it), and it's much more amenable to serendipity: I can subscribe to your rss feed, you probably don't add an entry every single day so I will have time to look at it, and I'll get to discover other websites.
If the price is good, having a fallback or a few is much safer than reliance on a single dc. So much so that it matters less if one of dcs burns or whatever. Cloudflare issues are theirs - they can’t blame the dc.
Bit of a chicken-and-egg scenario here. Frontends focus on simple, cheap UI's (<form>'s) because that's what they're good at. That doesn't mean they should be limited to just that.

Where are our cloud-based DAWs? Where's CAD?

There's a lot of OS-based tooling that never made the leap to web-based because of how limiting the web environment is and WASM is a great step towards solving that.

Additionally, the sandboxing is suuuuper useful in today's world. Docker either wouldn't exist, or wouldn't have the clout it has today, if WASM had been fully fleshed out when Docker took off (https://thenewstack.io/when-webassembly-replaces-docker/)

Also, it's nice being able to opt-out of garbage collection by compiling a non-GC'ed language to WASM. Latency-sensitive applications (real-time gaming) don't want to aggressively manage object lifetimes in JavaScript. Like, yeah, you could, in theory, avoid excessively allocating strings and strongly prefer mutating existing objects vs immutability, but those decisions lead to more fragile code and ultimately limit the depth/quality of tooling you can create.
> I don't know any pro-nuclear that is anti-renewables. We see nuclear as an alternative to burning coal, gas or oil, not to renewables.

We have a ton of these people in Germany. "Technologieoffen" they call themselves - the reality is that they want to keep the old structure of big utilities and massive profits for shareholders alive.

> Renewables are great. We all love them. It's just that they are not here just yet, not 24h/day 265days/year anyway. They need a complement.

That's what a grid is for. Build a national grid with serious transfer capacities (China can do it over 1000s of km's, so the US can just as well if it wanted), and suddenly you can use East Coast solar to power the West Coast. Or here in Europe, with French and Portuguese offshore wind and solar from Northern Africa. On top of that, incentivise large consumers (data centers, heavy industry) to upgrade their processes to be able to handle dynamic load shedding, and invest into powerful gas and hydrogen fuel cell based peaker plants to cover for the very small amount in a year where neither solar, wind nor dammed hydro is enough to supply the entire country.

The serious issue with nuclear is that they cost billions of dollars to build. At the moment, in Germany 44% of the total power is generated using renewables [1], in peak times (i.e. summer) renewables account for up to 70% of the month's load [2]. The investment for NPPs can't ever be recouped at that point, which is why even small scale projects such as NuScale got the boot [3]. No matter what the pro-nuclear crowd hopes, the free market has decided against it.

The very start of this threat is that not expressing gratitude makes the model refuse to work.
Real Time Safety Heap Allocator is an ultra-fast memory management system suitable for bare metal platforms or in conjunction with small RT OS.
RTSHA algorithm ensures efficient allocation and deallocation of memory resources, minimizes fragmentation issues, or undefined behavior.
RTSHA algorithms provide guarantees on the worst-case execution time for memory allocation and deallocation operations. This predictability ensures that the system can meet its timing constraints consistently.
Safety-critical systems often require compliance with industry standards and regulations, such as DO-178C for avionics, ISO 26262 for automotive, or IEC 61508 for industrial control systems.
These standards emphasize the need for certified software components, including memory management. High code quality, good documentation, and standards used during the development of RTSHA,
such as MISRA, etc., can meet the certification requirements, accelerate and streamline the certification process and demonstrate the reliability and robustness of their systems.
RTSHA optimizes memory utilization by minimizing fragmentation and efficiently managing memory allocation requests. This optimization is crucial for maximizing the available resources and ensuring the system operates within its limitations.
I have migrated toward process and disaster recovery/avoidance over time. In the last ten years I have spent a lot of time thinking about the latter because everywhere I have ever worked, if an emergency goes on long enough I am one of the last three people still having a coherent thought at the end, and often the only person with enough brain cells to summarize what just happened and propose a 5 Why’s theory. Which sounds like bragging if you ignore the consequences of this, which is that I am also the last person to recover to 100% in the following days. Which is exactly why I’m thinking about it so much.

I have learned at least two things about myself and a few about other people from all of this. For myself, I know I am overly acclimated to blowing past my limits into my reserves. I am used to constantly monitoring my mental state and pushing for breaks.

For others, I know that adrenaline and cortisol reduce everyone’s cognitive abilities. It’s why we do fire drills. It’s why NASA launch facilities ritualize everything. Save your brain cells and improvisational skills for things we can’t predict, not for things we can.

In the first hours of an emergency, everyone else’s brain turns to mush while mine gets just a little squishy. What for them is their worst work day in months is to me just a bad Tuesday. And self monitoring is one of the first things to go. They’re operating at 80% while I’m at 95%, and they absolutely won’t call for breathers without prompting.

On projects where I am at the periphery, we all struggle together. On projects where I get to influence the agenda, or even father chunks of it, people often walk back out of that room feeling like they braced for a collision that never came, because I’ve routed around all of the foot guns and created low cognitive load ways to answer the important questions. If anyone has been complaining about me spending “too much time” on this, about half of them are convinced after one or two non-event events. If the majority of the people didn’t agree with my methods before, they do now.

I used to say I spend my A-game days protecting myself from my C-game days, but these days I’m more likely to cite Kernighan’s aphorism about not being smart enough to debug your own code. Write all of your code like you’re going to have to wrestle with it on an off day, because you certainly will at some point.

And putting high functioning ADHD people in charge of process and tooling is not a terrible idea. If you can figure out who those people are, that is. To be high functioning means constantly masking, because in this world it’s better to be rude and aloof than to be seen as broken.

On my current project our hot fix process is so bullet proof that I could do a hot fix in the middle of our sprint demo. And I have, three times. Once while I was the MC. All of that was me, and the automation tools I wrote for myself are the official process now. And instead of a bus number of 3 it’s somewhere north of 6. Important, especially this time of year.
> Create a list of bookmarks linking to websites you find interesting, and publish it for the world to see.

I do like this idea. But it begs a few questions:

- Where?

- And then what?

The problem statement is that its hard to discover small websites. If I publish my bookmarks on my small website then the problem has not been solved. It seems like there needs to be some aggregator which of course ventures directly into the problem of centralized distribution and algorithms making the little guy undiscoverable. Whats the solution? A site with “friends” whose lists you can see with no overall aggregation?

Personally, I actually think it would be interesting to aggregate these lists. In particular I think it would be interesting to find the most common domains below a certain threshold of popularity. Pretty sure you can do this on google already, although youd have to save the string and copy paste it in all the time.
My personal experience says otherwise.
Oh, yea spotted now - I’ll have a look as soon as I’m at my computer, will fix. Until then, I think you’ll have to use it on a desktop - thanks for spotting!
