I saw your comment on the thread.

A. Most WebAssembly implementations are bigger than Helix itself.

B. WebAssembly is immature.

C. Lisp is perfectly fine. Even if you don't like it, it's not the end of the world if you have to use it to configure Helix.
I don't know if "Lots of black hats loathe my vehicle's manufacturer and want to do it harm, and potentially by proxy me," is as beneficial as you're making it out to be.

> they'll work feverishly to find and yell about any and all of your flaws and weakness, for free.

This is a very questionable assumption. I don't see why a black hat who manages to pwn Tesla is going to then turn around and responsibly report the vuln they're using instead of doing maximum damage to the brand, potentially endangering lives of drivers, or selling their 0-day to some other malicious actor.

The original source features a frametime-based rating as well. Surprise, surprise, Windows 11 and Arch are both identical in terms of performance, while Pop!OS and Nobara are about 9% behind.
Tesla has a decent bug bounty program - the haters get paid.

I really wished we finished it and made it the default UI. Jenkins is very extensible, so there are a LOT of extension points. We certainly didn't have the right approach to the API and devex for creating react plugin extension points either.
I find this problem fascinating.

For decades we’ve puzzled at how the inner workings of the brain works, and thought we’ve learned a lot we still don’t fully understand it. So, we figure, we’ll just make an artificial brain and THEN we’ll be able to figure it out.

And here we are, finally a big step closer to an artificial brain and once again, we don’t know how it works :)

(Although to be fair we’re spending all of our efforts making the models better and better and not on learning their low level behaviors. Thankfully when we decide to study them it’ll be a wee less invasive and actually doable, in theory.)
I think they read "hoard of haters" like "basket of deplorables"
History lessons. Just read the story of Crypto AG for example.
A few other cases of this sort of thing:

affect (n). an emotion or feeling. "She has a positive affect."

effect (n). a result or change due to some event. "The effect of her affect is to make people like her."

affect (v). to change or modify [X], have an effect upon [X]. "The weather affects my affect."

effect (v). to bring about [X] or cause [X] to happen. "Our protests are designed to effect change."

Also:

cost (v). to require a payment or loss of [X]. "That apple will cost $5." Past tense cost: "That apple cost $5."

cost (v). to estimate the price of [X]. "The accounting department will cost the construction project at $5 million." Past tense costed. "The accounting department costed the construction project at $5 million."
The (ahem) road to this state is probably littered with lessons learned. I'm hopeful that Tesla will share that history, allows its people to write about it, and let the wider community generalize and learn. There's a lot more than cars out there.
Nah, they have a bug bounty program, people get paid for their bugs. Probably one of the better things Tesla do is their attitude towards bug hunters.
Human population growth isn't exponential thou. And my understanding is that people who study human population growth believe that it will slow in future.

A few years ago, I was involved in a team with less than 10 engineers, we decided to switch to bazel in order to improve the build times, specially the CI runtime.

On the good side:

- bazel forces you to have an acyclic architecture, still, this can feel annoying because every module needs to specify its dependencies.

- bazel does concurrent builds pretty well, optimizing the build times.

On the bad side:

- It took a considerable time to set everything up, we thought to be done but no, there was a weird stuff coming every week and most of the team ended up waiting for the bazel guy to fix it.

- IDE support was poor, in theory, we could just use intellij but most of the times it required help from the bazel-guy, in my case, I got frustrated about the needed maintenance and just accepted that an IDE wouldn't work.
- Given the lack of IDE, it means that we couldn't easily execute a specific test from the UI, having to keep notes for the cli.

- In theory, you could use a shared cloud cache so that the builds are very effective but we could never set this up.
- talking to engineers from other companies, they admitted that the bazel setup was hard and took a considerable amount of resources, they ended up writing many internal tools to get a effective usage.

Given that you plan to create a startup, do you plan to hire engineers? then, be prepared to the bazel-guy.

Also, as a startup, I bet your code will be small enough that the build times won't be very different with normal build tools.

I'd personally not use bazel unless my company offers a dedicated engineer just to maintain this integration, I think its overkill for small companies.
Also, look at their competition. New Relic's product is so painful and broken that despite successfully winning deals with many large companies, they still manage to lose business to Datadog as their end users work extremely hard to convince management to not renew, and switch to Datadog, for the good of the company. Ask any insider.
90% of middle management could be replaced with simple shell scripts; LLM would be a vast overkill.
You are judging Jenkins favorably because it is possible (with a bunch of arcane knowledge) to build good CI on top of it.

I am saying you should judge Jenkins disfavorably for being hard to use instead of going "skill issue" when somebody describes the pain points.
Yeah, this. "Law" is meaningless unless it can be enforced.
Unfortunately for me that would entail staying up until 3AM and waking up at 11AM. That might work for me, but it doesn't work for my professional or social life.
SpaceX does use web-based UI's on the capsule. But we're not shipping UI's for passenger planes. And the guys using our products really don't care about whether or not the UI is caching some element. They care that they can perform maintenance, updates and C2 with their tablet in the field rather than air freight some magic 200lb box with a dozen custom cannon connectors from rural Connecticut.
I think the strategy they are describing is to just memorize a bunch of stuff, and then interview until an interviewer happens to not catch on. Either they’ll get someone less prudent than you, or, I mean, you can’t possibly test everything, right?

I have no idea if this really works though, it seems insanely tedious and also there aren’t that many companies to roll the dice at.
Things lile this are why I use Windows daily. I can assign a specific USB mass storage device a letter it will always use and I memorize it.
> Gitlab CI is still the best CI in the game IMO,

Oh god, if this is the best CI in the game, I don't want to be part of this game anymore. I work with (as in write pipeline code for) Gitlab CI almost every day and it's absolutely horrible. Not only does YAML lack any type safety whatsoever, but every day I run into yet another open ticket in the Gitlab issue tracker because using a declarative (YAML-based) approach (as opposed to an imperative one) essentially means that the Gitlab devs need to think of every possible use case beforehand, so as to be able to define a declaration & write an implementation for it. Clearly this is impossible, so now I'm banging my head against a wall on the daily.

Nice clean build. Not sure why the extra work instead of just downloading OpenEVSE.

Did I miss something in OP’s comment? It doesn’t read as if it’s about ethics, so much as qualitative decision making. It seems as though you’re responding to an argument that I don’t think was made.

I’m also unclear what tax money has to do with anything - why does the funding method matter, with regards to educating students? What, specifically, makes a physics major “better” or more worthy of your tax dollars, than an English major?
It already takes me 45 minutes of my time to get a hold of a support person of my own carrier and I'm a paying customer.

I commend the effort, but getting a human to answer a support hotline call in order to report a spammer number is so comically difficult and ineffective that I can't see a significant amount of people participating. Why doesn't my carrier have an automated system allowing them to communicate with the originating carrier, triggered by the "report spam" button in my telephone OS?
Hello, this post actually made me make a post of my own.

I think you can have your cake and eat it here.

If you filter HN with uBlock Origin to remove topics and sources you are not interested in, i.e. non-technical ones in my case, probably the case for many others too, then you can create what Lobsters was going for, but here on HN.

You get the fully populated, buoyant chat, whilst fine tuning the scope of topics and sources you see.

> only when you are very tired

The sleep formula article said “truly sleepy” which, to me, is significantly different from “very tired”.
This makes HN more like lobste.rs, except perhaps for VC news which are banned on lobste.rs, and sound like they’re not removed by this filter.

I prefer to have a dose of “news” news, and I got that through HN. But I won’t object, it’s probably better.
Being able to delete an account allows you to decide to remove your information from the site after a certain point. Cycling accounts is about not letting someone who looks at a single account at any time find enough information to piece together your identity at any point. Both are privacy related but the former is not a lead-in to the latter.

As one who'd also like to see the ability to fully delete your HN account for privacy reasons I still think summarizing the alternative reasons as only aesthetics sells the counterarguments a bit short...

... but overall I'm getting myself and the whole conversation extremely off topic here. Probably best to discuss this in a thread about privacy on HN instead of one on robocallers.
> Not many distributions can claim the title of being truly "unique"

Sir, I think you've just insulted like dozens of distros out there.

IMHO there are a lot of more "truly unique" distros out there than just spins of Ubuntu with a different DE and scheduler: Nobara(from the benchmark), Q4OS, Antix, Mabox, Linux Lite, Gecko Linux, Spiral Linux, in no particular order, not that they're better than Popos, but they're definitely more unique.

It is worse. The sleep formula article says free sleep often involves 24 hour sleep sessions, which is practically impossible for most people.
Life expectancy is a broke metric.

Survivorship bias is bad if you're making a statement like "All old houses were good because we still see some old houses around".

But if you already have an old house that's working it's worth considering survivorship bias if you're building a new house to replace it. That new house is much less likely to survive that bias filter. Getting the new house as good as the old house will likely take you far more time and money than you expected.

And the same is with software. For example including outside libraries in your application makes the code much easier to write. You don't have to reproduce functionality. But libraries typically work like kitchen sinks. You may not have wanted a garbage disposal, but your library came with it and for the next X years your application is around you have to make sure that disposal doesn't catch fire. From the security side you have to make sure there is no code interaction with disposal or any of the other 'household' functions its including that you're not testing for.

At least in what I do for a living which is in the field to code security reviews (I don't do these reviews myself, but I work with the teams that do), the amount of security issues that get caught in these new applications in a multi round process, at least to me is staggering. It has to be a multi round process as we see the issues being reintroduced we'd call out in previous sessions. Quite often in these larger organizations the programming teams are so unstable that between our first calls and last calls the entire team working on it will have rotated out.
I'd have called an EVSE a charger - I might be naive but what's the distinction you're trying to make?
oh that's nice I didn't know that! Still a stickler on yaml for code though
>Does a Tesla owner have root on their own vehicle

If they would, they wouldn't have to pay Tesla for the SW extras, and just sideload them for free later.
My experience is the opposite, when people is unmotivated or not interested in the work, its unlikely for them to improve even if you give them enough chances.

I have the impression that people get in some kind of comfort zone when underperforming that's psychologically hard for them to improve until they move to another team/company.

So, you should catch these issues as soon as possible to let people know that this is not tolerated, in some way, this helps because people can take you more seriously.
Maybe this is just me, but needing to define environment variables or secrets for testing seems like a massive problem in the test design. Does that mean the tests are dependent on the use of an external service, and that service can't be run locally?

The only part of a CI pipeline I can imagine requiring secrets would be a release/publish step. However, those would only occur after the tests run successfully, so nothing up until that point would require secrets.
You work that as a contractor easy if you can find them. The problem is they're rarely hiring one offs to do this because these companies don't have engineering cultures, which is why they contract this shit to system integrators of the world like IBM, then they outsource the work to shoddy consultancy shops to maximize their profits doing basically zero work. If everything goes exceptionally bad (which it did at least in the case I was involved in), then they hire competent contractors to come in and save them from frighteningly large law suits. That's the new dev cycle of these legacy modernizations.. ahh

Why is it that you think the major on your university degree matters?
I think this is to a degree a generational thing. I guess between 15 and 25 we are imprinted with what lo-fi means to us.

My prediction is that after low quality compression we will see good, but noticeable auto-tune as a retro effect. I don't mean the early, late 90s overdone Cher-like auto-tune, but the one that's used seriously for pitch correction but is still noticeable.

After that, I think, bad vocal synths are a good candidate. To my old ears many are right there in uncanny valley - too human for a synth, but not human enough not to be creepy.
What part of today would have you worried? My start up is having a great time finding people (amid tech layoffs) and our office space is heavily discounted due to WFH/high office vacancies. Our sales are going well also (our industry has been booming). It seems to me like a good time as any to build a company.
just wanted to add an exception, the non-generally part example.

this is the log of email spam I am getting since about few years now. The sheet doesn't list any email link, but each one of that link is unique, the soam machine sends me 10x spam if I accidentally click it.
Yeah I had a period before I had kids and when I worked for myself where I could sleep whenever I wanted. I’d get tired around 3-4am, go to sleep about 5am, wake up around 12-1pm, and felt great every day. The most energy, motivation, and general good moods I’ve had in my life.

Then kids + career = 10pm-5am sleep schedule and pretty much feel tired (struggling-to-function tired) 24/7.
That's because email delivery is such a weird dance. It's getting harder every year to have your mail delivered without being part of those few services since the protocol is abused so much.
I think it's much better. I can actually read the map now when it's giving me directions.
If you're convinced about the things you're talking about (and acting out like this) then you should just go to another company. I have seen the videos you say you haven't, and they aren't shared because of operational security. (They're also grainy and low-res so have little marketing value.)
It can be argued that root access is not any kind of switch on its own. You have physical access either way - cutting a wire or reprogramming a EEPROM is already a kill switch, root access doesn't add to it, as long as manufacturer doesn't provide a script or otherwise encourages you to `kill -9 safetyprocess` or something.

Unless it's mandated by law that there must be anti-circumvention features (components checking system integrity, DRM-like), which root access would actually contradict. But that'd be completely different from prohibition to introduce a kill switch. That'd be a legal requirement that a vehicle or some of its parts mustn't be user-serviceable.

Root access is not a way to break stuff, even though it can be (ab)used as such - it's most certainly not its primary use case. It's a maintenance feature, enabling rightful owner to be able to diagnose, maintain and enhance their own vehicle's software without resorting to hacks. I'm sure that most people would use that to tweak their multimedia console (like adding CarPlay support) or get more diagnostic info about some failure they're facing, not hack their engine control module in some illegal way.
I find the best way for me to fall asleep is to put on a podcast, my current go to is "Now there's your problem" and just focus on the words being spoken, pushes everything out of my mind.

But also, as I get older I worry less about my own mortality - me, you, everyone we both know - all going to die, and worrying about it isn't going to change that.

Alexander, thank you for posting this.

I am a pretty tight spot, financially. I could use any assistance thrown my way, from a couple of hundred dollars to cover food, to several hundred more to cover utility bills and rent before the Internet and power are shut off and/or we're evicted, on up to a couple of thousand more to pay off the property taxes[0] before the house is auctioned off (which is imminent, but a lesser amount will at least put it off).

On top of everything else, we've been slowly wearing out more durable goods like clothes without replacing them, and my 9-year old laptop has finally given up the ghost.

I'd rather not post publicly about all the personal circumstances that lead to this juncture, suffice it to say that depression makes physical health problems that cause fatigue worse, making it impossible to work, as well as much harder to navigate public assistance options, and mistakes from a decade ago can cause one to be deemed ineligible for assistance like Medicaid and SNAP/EBT now, and I haven't been able to fix the problem yet.

So, please help, if you can, to whatever extent you can.

[0] We live in a manufactured home, on a rented lot. So we're facing eviction from the lot (which we can't afford to move the house from), as well as owing property taxes on the house itself.
But at this stage:

why a big model AT ALL?

Which is to say, a useful LLM is probably not going to be complex like an Operating System.

I know several people who went back to IC. All the feedback I heard was either applause or envy of the person's guts to do it. (Usually it came with a significant salary drop.) This typically happened after a few years as a manager though.

My 2 cents: just say it as it is. Your manager doesn't need you having a burnout all if a sudden any more than you do.

This is genuinely pretty shocking to me. Would e.g. the person calling from the school about your kid getting hurt during recess just hang up and assume you'll call back immediately during the workday on the basis you had a missed call?

If you mean for people you have relations with (friends/family/coworkers) most here gave up memorizing numbers a long time ago and none of those would show as an unknown number. This is common enough here in the US that the iPhone has a built in feature to only ring for known contacts and for unknowns only notify voicemails.

Oh I didn’t know that! Thanks for the explanation.
Can the friend help you $5/m because I find the Digital Ocean app service or droplets to be pretty decent. Like load time faster than eye refresh fast probably because I send out cache headers and it CDNs them.

Then maybe grab a free Postgres DB from Vercel or similar to get started (as their DB isn’t cheap)

Another avenue which I find more of a hassle but it is free and scales up is static hosting (Netlify, Vercel, etc.) with Firebase. You might pay 1-2c a month if you use it a little. But wouldn’t recommend rewriting just to save money when $60 should do you for a year of hosting.
