I guess the practical question for me is: in case Fusion goes abandonware, is there a viable desktop-focused hypervisor for the Mac other than Fusion or Parallels that runs Windows relatively well? I'm on Fusion, and I've always kind of viewed Parallels with suspicion. There's Vimy and LTM but as far as I can tell, they don't do Windows or GUI's all that well, since their focus seems to be linux and Mac OS X VMS, unless newer versions have improved...
I just don't know what to do with the hypotheticals. It needs the existence of something that does not exist, it needs a certain socio-economic response and so forth.

Yes, no one praises the lack of windows, because it'll be weird to be thankful for something normal that is missing. But the lack of windows aren't just a middle finger to the students, their absence allows for greater freedom in design of the building. So you have students praising the relatively large private rooms. Which would not be possible without the lack of windows.

At some point I came to realize that a large chunk of the population in my country (USA) live their entire lives paycheck-to-paycheck, never getting ahead. I think even in the very best of times, this number never gets below 20% or so. And that's not to say that all these people are irresponsible, far from it. Often it's just some combination of low/unpredictable income and life happening too fast.

Anybody who has the opportunity to build wealth (as I have) has to recognize that at least part of that is luck.
I've heard from someone on your side they are hiring as they always do to give a show of strength, but a lot of the new hires aren't being assigned much work or are given pretty far out start dates. I get the sense that there are a lot of silos though and people only really know what is going on that they can directly see.
This is really cool. I played around for a minute or so and ended up with a cute little loop that reminds me of something from Four Tet’s Pink album. It just needs some sort of analogue drum machine underneath with some subtle sidechaining on the kick and it’d be ready for general consumption. So soothing.

First of all, apologies, the way I started my reply was too brusque.

Yes, at the end of the day it's all about who has the power. I just wanted to point out that present Vietnam is far from united and that you can't imagine how much resentment there is in Saigon towards the communist government in the north.

Saigon had a "good" war, barely saw any fighting, but the post-war was horrible, scarring southerners to this day, many people repeatedly tried to flee on dingies out of desperation from human (northern) caused starvation and scarcity, this in a land that had never experienced hunger (the Mekong Delta is extremely fertile and milked by the north). They haven't forgotten.

The world is full of hopeful irredentists, and whether they will ever succeed or not is not a matter of right, but might (maybe in the shape of a foreign power). It is just that in southern Vietnam most people are irredentists, which I suspect is not the case in the US south, isn't that right?
They are cool consumption devices, and I have one myself. But the important thing, at least for me, is they don't run Playdate games. And they don't have any easy way for developers like myself to make a living making games for them. I wish they did because there are a heck of a lot of them out there! You're right that the Playdate is a niche, but it's a nice one that I can make a living working on.
That's kind of his thing though he let's people talk and you make of it what you will. He has challenged people directly in the past but isn't aggressive about it.
I do think a lot of companies have some second thoughts before completely relying on the services of startups. Personally I've seen companies (or teams) explicitly rejecting the use of Airtable and Notion (in separate instances) because they aren't mature enough and people are worried about shutting down even if the product itself is compelling.

But the main difference with Google is that Google shuts so many things down that talking about Google shutting something else down is just a meme, even if a tired and deeply unfunny meme.

I seriously think anything Google launches in the future should not carry the name Google, should not be hosted on google.com, and should be owned by a subsidiary of Google LLC with ownership obscured.

Not surprising. Many people do that just for show. OTOH, many people, including my former self, spend buttloads of money on the vehicle in ways that aren't even visible and take it offroad, finding all the weak spots, ripping them out, spending even more money on tougher stuff... and the circle of life continues.
The thing is, without debt, my job is decent, people would be glad. But it is also brain dead development. We outsource our work and I just glue it together... And then they recently have really gotten into micromanaging where every minute of the day is tracked vs. hey, you have two weeks to complete this sprint. That's what an agency is I guess.

My ideal job I'm not qualified for unless I do it as a hobby eg. robotics. So I will free myself financially eventually and then do that for fun.

And I will continue to help my families since they're in a worse situation than me. Hopefully I remember being poor. I used to dream of having a Lamborghini Aventador but now I realize that money could buy me a house with land somewhere.

I once visited the Fremont factory for a week and was required to do safety training. The person went on about how the training is only in English and you must know English to complete it. He had everyone say hi and something about themselves and about 1/3 didn’t speak any English. He just decided to keep going anyways and everyone completed safety training.

I’m not sure how typical that is in the industry. I wouldn’t be surprised to learn that it’s totally normal.

This kind of adversarial design work is great if you can get the right people involved. The problems I’ve seen when you get the wrong people, though, are:

1) Often it’s much easier to point out potential issues than it is to properly address them. It can end up as a Gish gallop of low effort criticisms which must be countered on the spot or the initial idea is deemed entirely wrong.

2) If roles aren’t rotated regularly, some people settle into the “problem finder” role and start to prioritise finding problems over the success of the overall project, and now you have a saboteur on the team.

Part of the value is that your competitor is also using McKinsey. So when Ford brings them in and they want to know what is cutting edge, they can spy on GM and Toyota using the consultancy, with a little fig leaf being "this is what we see the industry doing" instead of "this is what Toyota is literally doing." Corporate espionage by proxy.

> AI R&D takes away from optics/processing R&D

Maybe it does, maybe it doesn't. I don't know what the engineering structure of the company is like.

I just disagree that the goal or purpose of computational photography is to skimp in other areas. The G9ii has a 25 megapixel micro four thirds image sensor but it can take 100 megapixel photos using an automated process where the image sensor is physically shifted around (thanks to in-body image stabilization capability) while multiple exposures are taken and then combined using computational techniques.

But that is certainly not as an alternative to producing a 100 megapixel micro four thirds sensor, which would have very small pixels and thus poor noise performance among other things. On the G9ii, the computational features purely extend the function of the system. You could argue maybe they would have gone to 30 megapixels or 35 if they did not have this alternative, I don't know.

If you want the absolute best possibly image quality, you simply will not want a pocket action camera. But all cameras will adopt more computational techniques and I don't think it's correct to say they are doing so because they wanted to skimp in other areas. Action cameras already skimp on lens quality to get a pocket form factor, not because they are adding AI. Additionally on cell phones, the form factor has always been the reason for low quality lenses and small sensor size. AI clearly has a place in extending the capability of a camera system with other physical constraints. Perhaps some companies will use that as an excuse to use cheaper optics than what is possible, but I would argue we cannot infer they have done that simply because computational photography is used. Computers are simply cheap and these techniques will get added because they have zero or very low BOM cost impact.
> Indeed, the company behind TikTok (called ByteDance) didn't even have an IPO yet. It is unclear how much money they are earning from TikTok. It's conceivable that TikTok itself makes no money and is subsidized by the company's other products like Toutiao.

Or, which is more likely, by the CCP. TikTok is the perfect piece of propaganda warfare - it gives destabilizing forces, anything from weird left-wing Hamas supporters to the hardcore far-right / incel crowd, a direct link to the brains of our children. It's unreal just how toxic the trending content on TikTok is, and how little effort is done to moderate it. Way worse than the YouTube radicalization spiral [1], but for whatever reason there's almost zero attention to TikTok.

It absolutely isn't wrong, and it's strange that you have some aversion against it. Think of Tuple[int, ...] as a union of Tuples of all lengths containing only ints. It's a specific language feature, and it's not "wrong" in any way.

> We keep reading that people are willing to pay for a "Dumb TV"

They aren't though. People might be willing to chose a dumb tv, all else being equal. But not pay _more_ for a dumb TV. With subsidies from the smart tv services, it isn't cheaper.

I'm not sure about the Canadian tech job market, but it's a bad job market for tech workers here in the US right now. I've heard of 1000+ resumes being received for a single role, and I have first-hand knowledge of one hiring manager having received 750 applications for a single role before they stopped accepting submissions. I wouldn't let that discourage your dad from shopping his resume around, but he should definitely temper his expectations due to it.

If he's looking for a junior position, he might consider applying to / asking about roles at industrial management companies (whatever that is, idk =P). He might be able to get himself a junior role by playing up his potential to apply his extensive experience in that field, albeit using new tools & languages.
How useful is that these days? Serious question.

That used to be a good way to test a drive / burn in, but that hasn't been all that practical for a while.
Ask HN: Product management for solo side projects?
What do you use for 'product management' as it were - thinking about, planning, and designing different features - for your solo (or very small team, no dedicated product people) project?

I have ideas and sometimes I make crappy notes, sometimes I just hold onto (or forget) them, I'd like to do something better to allow me to map things out, see how they might relate etc. but the tools I've used or looked at seem too heavyweight for one person, whether in terms of billing or just to use.

I like Productboard for example, but it seems overkill (not to mention expensive) for a one man band.

So what do you use, or how do you manage without? Thanks.

I'd recommend the Pikuma course Graphics From Scratch[0]. The first thing you do is write a set_pixel function utilizing SDL and the rest of the course is all your code, every matrix operation, every vertex transformation, every triangle rasterization. You calculate what every individual pixel should be colored.

I really don't understand why he is so willing to post such obviously verifiable lies. He also said he open sourced the twitter algorithm and what we really got were a few files which did not make it possible to understand the algorithm.

Spoiler alert for an old RPG called "Sanitarium": https://store.steampowered.com/app/284050/Sanitarium/

It's been a very long time since I've played this, but it's one of the few games I actually played to completion. It featured this mechanic late in the game, where you could choose to become one of three "aspects" of your PC in order to overcome certain challenges. It was pretty basic, but it was a nice touch and made a lot of sense in-sotry.
What you described is clearly an algorithm. But i assume what you mean by “no algorithm” is that you are not using a machine learning based recommendation engine.

Depends on the type system. I would say for Java / Python level static types they catch a small but significant fraction of bugs (10-20% according to the only objective measurement I've seen, which is easily worth it). However some languages like Rust, Haskell and OCaml let you express much more in the type system.

Subjectively it feels like that catches more like 30-60% of bugs.

So this thing is still useful but Berkes is right that you need it a lot less if you use better static types.

> which code paths are relevant for a given endpoint?

This is exactly the question that static types can answer... statically. You don't need a runtime log to find out.

You do need a runtime log to see the actual values though. So it's not like a debugger is completely useless in Rust. But I definitely reach for it much less than in other languages.
I like seeing welding posts on HN and cool they come up few times a months.

The GE chain making machine is pretty interesting and can't really imagine doing it by hand otherwise (at scale). Saw a hand welded chain segment the other day on a bike displayed at a shop - kind of used as a quicklink but more permanent. It was slightly puzzling to see how they went about it but whatever.

Welding and automation is something that kind of compounds on itself - for example comparing wirefeed/mig to stick.
Yeah, and they're still around, relevant and profitable. What's your point?

I vaguely remember early fortran code was really close to 1:1 source code -> assembly language. Probably just because that's how low-level compilers were.

I also remember from the era, that a one-line program with a '.' in column 6 would generate 600 lines of errors from the IBM optimizing cobol compiler.

I would say there a two things: 1) yes, not being overly careful did work out by allowing things to progress fast and the same might hold here, 2) those who want to use hypotheticals about non-existent technology to steer current behavior are the ones needing to do the explaining as to why. And that why needs to address why hypotheticals are more pressing than actuals.

I don't know YT's monetization history, but longform video is incredibly easy to monetize because advertisers are willing to pay much more for their content being there. They get some edge from all the tech they have built for matching ads to users, but it's just fundamentally one of the easiest things to monetize on the internet, so I don't think they would have struggled there.
Love this we need more creative audio projects! Great work!!

I was inspired by the demo Colugo Music shared over the weekend and made a variation on Sunday and shared a link to it and the code yesterday: https://danielraffel.me/2023/11/21/sonic-garbage/

Demo here: https://polymetallic.co

Every time someone visits my variation of SonicGarbage, it performs a YouTube search with randomly generated phrases to discover videos. It then downloads these videos, processes their audio, and converts them into a loop. The site then generates a unique timestamped URL hosting each sample loop that was generated and adds it to an archive of random YouTube sample packs.

Since this is running on a free tier Google micro instance it takes close to a minute to run this process. So, when you visit you'll be enjoying a page of samples generated by the last person who visited.

You can trigger and loop the sounds by clicking and hovering over the YouTube IDs, simulating a live sampler. Right-clicking the IDs allows you to download the looped sample files. I didn't bother to optimize for mobile so it's desktop only right now...sorry!

Kudos to Colugo Music for inspiring so many of us!
Certainly looks interesting. But why would you want to imitate other writers’ styles, except for pure novelty’s sake? You could also train an AI to imitate yourself, given enough content, but why would you? I’m not sure I fully understand the motivation.
